About the cellular modem

The AVS SMS Upgrade has an inbuilt cellular modem that allows two-way communication between your mobile phone and the alarm via SMS (text message). The modem operates with a SIM card in the same way as a mobile phone. It runs on a Vodafone pre-pay SIM card.

It is your responsibility to ensure your cellular modem SIM card has money on it at all times for two-way SMS communication to operate.

The AVS SMS Upgrade relies on cellular coverage for SMS communication. If your phone is switched off or outside cellular coverage and there is an alarm trigger you will only receive a notification SMS when your phone is switched back on or is back in range.

Note: Manta Electronics and the various network providers do not guarantee the delivery of SMS or calls. Manta Electronics accepts no liability or consequential losses resulting from the non-receipt of a SMS.

Please see the information sheet included.

SIM card set-up

Do NOT insert or remove the cellular modem SIM card while the power is on. Ensure power is off and the AVS SMS Upgrade module is unplugged first.

If this has not already been done by the installer (or for any reason you remove the SIM card and need to replace it):

1. Place the new SIM card in an existing mobile phone and turn off “PIN code request.” You may need to refer to your mobile phone manual on how to do this.

2. Call 707 and set the 4-digit Vodafone account PIN code. Record the PIN in the Programmed numbers reference in this manual. You will need the Vodafone account PIN code when you want to check or top up the cellular modem’s SIM card balance.

3. Insert the SIM card into the AVS SMS Upgrade’s cellular modem.

4. Save the AVS SMS Upgrade’s cellular modem’s SIM card number in your mobile phone to easily recall for sending SMS commands. We recommend that you save it with a meaningful name i.e. AVS SMS Upgrade or other so it is instantly recognisable and you are able to take immediate action if you are contacted by the system.
