IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A VIKING PRODUCT, PLEASE CONTACT: VIKING TECHNICAL SUPPORT AT [phone]

Our Technical Support Department is available for assistance weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. central time. So that we can give you better service, before you call please:

1. Know the model number, the serial number and what software version you have (see serial label).

2. Have your Technical Practice in front of you.

3. It is best if you are on site.

RETURNING PRODUCT FOR EXCHANGE

The following procedure is for equipment that has failed out-of-box (within 10 days of purchase):

1. Customer must contact Viking’s Technical Support at 715-386-8666 to determine possible causes for the problem. The

customer MUST be able to step through recommended tests for diagnosis.

2. If the Technical Support Product Specialist determines that the equipment is defective based on the customer's input
and troubleshooting, a Return Authorization (R.A.) number will be issued. This number is valid for fourteen (14)
calendar days from the date of issue.

3. After obtaining the R.A. number, return the approved equipment to your distributor, referencing the R.A. number. Your
distributor will then replace the product over the counter at no charge. The distributor will then return the product to
Viking using the same R.A. number.

4. The distributor will NOT exchange this product without first obtaining the R.A. number from you. If you haven't
followed the steps listed in 1, 2 and 3, be aware that you will have to pay a restocking charge.

RETURNING PRODUCT FOR REPAIR

The following procedure is for equipment that needs repair:

1. Customer must contact Viking's Technical Support Department at 715-386-8666 to obtain a Return Authorization (RA)

number. The customer MUST have a complete description of the problem, with all pertinent information regarding the
defect, such as options set, conditions, symptoms, methods to duplicate problem, frequency of failure, etc.

2. Packing: Return equipment in original box or in proper packing so that damage will not occur while in transit. Static
sensitive equipment such as a circuit board should be in an anti-static bag, sandwiched between foam and individual­ly boxed. All equipment should be wrapped to avoid packing material lodging in or sticking to the equipment. Include
ALL parts of the equipment. C.O.D. or freight collect shipments cannot be accepted. Ship cartons prepaid to:

Viking Electronics, 1531 Industrial Street, Hudson, WI 54016

3. Return shipping address: Be sure to include your return shipping address inside the box. We cannot ship to a PO Box.

4. RA number on carton: In large printing, write the R.A. number on the outside of each carton being returned.

Alarm Dialer: The K-202-DVA calls the list of up to 7 phone numbers associated with an alarm input when the input has reached the
alarm state.

Alarm Input: One of two inputs for alarm sensors which may be connected to the K-202-DVA. Each input may be configured as normally
open, normally closed, or disabled. In addition, each input may be configured to require a momentary or continuous closure.

Alarm Message: One of two user-recorded announcements associated with a corresponding alarm input. Each message may be up to
one minute in length.

Alarm State: An alarm input reaches this state when there has been a closure across the input (if normally open) or an open (if normal­ly closed) for a minimum amount of time. If the Qualifier Timer is set to zero, this minimum time is about 80ms. Otherwise the time to
reach the alarm state is the value the Qualifier Timer has been set to (ranging from 1 second to 18 hours).

Call Progress Detection: This feature enables the K-202-DVA to determine when the number it is calling has answered so that it can
start playing the alarm message.

Forced Play Timer: The forced play timer is operational when the Call Progress Detection has been disabled. Instead of starting the
alarm message when the call is picked up, the K-202-DVA waits a set period of time (from 1 - 99 seconds) after the number is dialed
before it starts playing the message. This feature would ordinarily only be used when for some reason reliable call progress detection is
not possible; for example: if one or more of the lines being called are very noisy.

Hookswitch Flash Before Dialing: In some alarm dialing applications, it is necessary for the K-202-DVA to provide a 500ms hook­switch flash before dialing any programmed phone number. This feature can be enabled or disabled on a global basis (applies to both
inputs and all dial numbers).

Lap Counter: The Lap Counter is a programmable counter that sets how many times the K-202-DVA will cycle through its list of
up to 7 numbers for a given input before it gives up and stops the alarm dialing procedure. The Lap Counter is set individually for
each input and can be from 1 - 99.

If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the
equipment until the problem is resolved.

Connection to Party Line Service is subject to State Tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service com­mission or corporation commission for information.

WHEN PROGRAMMING EMERGENCY NUMBERS AND (OR) MAKING TEST CALLS TO EMERGENCY NUMBERS:

Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call. Perform such activities in the off-peak
hours, such as early morning or late evenings.

It is recommended that the customer install an AC surge arrester in the AC outlet to which this device is connected. This
is to avoid damaging the equipment caused by local lightning strikes and other electrical surges.

PART 15 LIMITATIONS

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radi­ate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

FCC REQUIREMENTS

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the side of this
equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If
requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive REN's on a
telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of
the REN's should not exceed five (5.0) To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as deter­mined by the total REN's, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for
this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the
REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.

The plug used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable
FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected
to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this K-202-DVA does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have ques­tions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

If the K-202-DVA causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary
discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the cus­tomer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is nec­essary.

The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the
operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make

Message Repeat Count: This is the number of times the alarm message is repeated per call. The Message Repeat Count
is set individually for each input and can be from 1-99.

Pager Number: A phone number of up to 32 digits long which can be used to dial pagers (no alarm message is played).

Priority: Input 1 has higher priority than Input 2.

PA (Public Address) Mode: In this mode, the K-202-DVA dials an access code to play the messages over a PA (public

address) system, versus dialing telephone numbers that will be answered by live people.

Qualifier Timer: This is a user-programmable timer that can be set from 1 second to 18 hours and specifies the amount
of time that a closure must stay in effect before the K-202-DVA enters the alarm state. The default value of the Qualifier
Timer is 0, which is OFF.

Remote Access Code: A six-digit code required for remotely accessing the K-202-DVA in order to poll the alarm inputs
for those that have entered the alarm state and have not been reset.

Reset State: An alarm is reset if the called party or the remotely accessing user dials a touch-tone “9” during the alarm
message. The alarm input resumes normal operation after the Resume Timer expires.

Ring Delay: This is the number of rings the K-202-DVA waits before answering an inbound call. The Ring Delay must be
set from 0-9, with 0 specifying that incoming calls are not to be answered.

Ringback Limit: This is the number of times the K-202-DVA will allow the phone to ring when trying to reach a number
on its phone number list before giving up and going on to the next number.

Resume Timer: This is a user-programmable timer that can be set from 1 second to 18 hours and specifies the amount
of time after an alarm input is reset before it resumes normal operation and begins looking for alarms again. See Operation
for a discussion of how the Resume timer determines when an alarm input leaves the reset state. The default value of the
Resume Timer is zero, which is OFF.

Security Code: A six-digit code required for entering programming.
