FCC Part 15 Information to the User
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by GE Security can void the user ’s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC Part 15 Class B
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

FCC ID: B4Z-787E-SIMON
ACTA Part 68
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. Located on this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and the ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.
FCC Part 68 Registration No. B4ZUSA-27621-AL-E REN: 0.2B
The REN is used to determine the maximum number of devices that may be connected to your telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in
devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most areas, the sum of all device RENs 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 RENs, 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.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements as adopted by ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compliant modular
jack that is also compliant. See the Installation Instructions for details.
Alarm dialing equipment must be able to seize the telephone line and place a call in an emergency situation. It must be able to do this even if other equipment
(telephone, answering system, computer modem, etc.) already has the telephone line in use. To do so, alarm dialing equipment must be connected to a properly
installed RJ31X jack that is electrically in series and ahead of all other equipment attached to the same telephone line. Proper installation is depicted in the following diagram. If you have any questions concerning these instructions, consult your local telephone company or a qualified installer about installing an RJ31X
jack and alarm dialing equipment for you.

Introduction to
Your Security
System
Your security system uses wireless technology to warn your family about intrusion,
carbon monoxide and fire. It may also be used to control lights and appliances within
your home. The system has the capabilities of communicating with a central monitoring station and sending messages to a numeric pager or remote phone (voice event
notification).
This manual describes how to operate your system. It will guide you through programming instructions for system features as well as basic arming and disarming commands for the system.
Security System Components
The security system uses devices called sensors that use radio waves to communicate
alarms to the Control Panel (panel).
The system is supervised, meaning that the panel checks the status of each sensor to
detect problems. If the panel detects trouble it will notify you with beeps and indicator
lights on the panel itself.
Your security system installation may include any of the following devices:
Control Panel
The Control Panel is used to operate and program your security system. It communicates to you through voice messages, beeps, and by lighting or flashing buttons. The
panel can communicate to a central monitoring station, numeric pager, remote phone,
or all three.
Touchpads
Remote Handheld Touchpads are used to control the security system primarily from
within the home.
* Dialog QS 1500 Touchtalk Interactive Keypads are used to control the security
system primarily from within the home. It’s used to hear commands from the control
panel when it’s active.
Keychain Touchpads are used to control the security system from within or near the
outside of your home. These touchpads can either be 2 or 4-button.
Sensors
Indoor Motion Sensors detect motion in a protected indoor area. When motion is
detected the panel may respond by sounding chimes or an alarm.
Simon Security System 1
Outdoor Motion Sensors detect motion in a protected outdoor area. When motion is
detected, the system may respond by sounding chimes or turning on outside lights.
These sensors are not used for intrusion detection.
Door/Window Sensors detect the opening of a door or window.
Smoke Sensors detect smoke and a significant rise in temperature. They have a built in
siren that sounds when smoke or a significant rise in temperature is detected.
Freeze Sensors detect furnace failure. If the inside temperature drops below 41
sensor will notify the panel. The sensor will send a restore signal to the panel when the
temperature rises to 50
Carbon Monoxide Sensors detect carbon monoxide. They have a built in siren that
sounds when carbon monoxide is detected.
Modules
* Appliance Modules can be programmed to turn appliances or fluorescent lights on
and off.
* Lamp Modules can be programmed to turn non-fluorescent lights on and off.
* Universal Modules are primarily used for controlling devices other than appliances
and lamps. Check with your installer for other applications.
Audio Verification Module (AVM) is primarily used by the central monitoring station
to monitor sounds and verbally communicate with a person inside the home. This feature is similar to a speaker phone feature on a phone.
* Dialog RF Electronic Thermostat is primarily used to monitor and control HVAC
systems from the security system.
* Water Resistant Personal Help Button is a wireless device used for activating
police, medical or auxiliary alarms through your security system.
* Dialog Telephone Interface Module is a battery operated communication link
between the security system control panel and the central monitoring station.
* Ethernet Interface Module is designed to provide access to the panel via a computer
and the premisesconnect.com website.
• Installers - to aid in installation and maintenance of security systems.
• Dealers - to simplify customer and account management.
