Channel Setting

The Alertmaster System uses special radio signals to communicate between the console unit and all its accessories. For the accessories (Door Announcer, Baby Sound Monitor, Audio Alarm Transmitter and Motion Sensor) to activate the base unit, they all have to be on the same "channel." A "DIP Switch" is used for channel selection.

Your system and all the accessories have been preset in the factory to a standard channel setting. Under normal operating conditions, there is no adjustment necessary.

If your system encounters interference and repeatedly activates itself for no obvious reason, it may be triggered by a system nearby in your neighborhood.

If the interference from another Alertmaster Notification System or other wireless source is present, change channel switch settings on all components.

1. Unplug AC power and locate DIP Switch (a 4-position switch) on the underside of the Alertmaster AM-6000.

2. Open the battery compartment

UK STATUTORY INFORMATION

The modem that forms the subject of this guide is approved for use with telecommunications systems run by British Telecommunications, Mercur y or Kingston Communications in accordance with the conditions in the instruction for use. The following section provides the statutory information that relates to this approval.

Model No.: The unit referred to in this guide as the apparatus is the Ameriphone Alertmaster 2000 /

6000.

Type of circuits: The apparatus is approved for connection to telecommunications systems specified in the instructions for use subject to the conditions set out in them. It is not approved for use on a shared service, 1+1 carrier system, or as an extension to a pay telephone.

Mark of origin: The apparatus is manufactured in China by Ameriphone. Functions: Call Indicator for the Deaf.

REN: The apparatus has a REN of 1.

Explanation of REN: Equipment for

attachment to the Public Telephone

To determine the maximum number of items of apparatus that should be connected simultaneously to an exclusive line, the total REN obtained by summing the REN values of each of the items of apparatus connected to the exclusive line should not exceed the maximum REN value of 4. This value includes any BT provided instrument each of which is assumed to have a REN value of 1.0 unless otherwise marked.

The apparatus has a REN of 1 and care must be taken not to use it with other telephone equipment that would result in a maximum figure of 4 REN being exceeded.

Because of the wide spread of ringing detector characteristics, a guarantee of successful operation in an installation of mixed types of

network is assessed to determine its “ringer equivalence” number (REN). The REN relates to the performance of the apparatus when used in combination with other items of apparatus. The REN is a customer guide indicating approximately the maximum number of items of apparatus that should be connected simultaneously to the line.
