FCC compliance
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 harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a residential 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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
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.
Connect the affected equipment and the panel receiver to separate outlets, on
different branch circuits.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Part 15 registration number: B4Z-910C-SIMON.
Part 68. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the
requirements adopted by ACTA. A label on this equipment contains a product
identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. You must provide this number to the
telephone company upon request.
FCC Part 68 registration number: US:B4ZAL02B55910.
The plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and
telephone network comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements
adopted by ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this
product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also
compliant. See the installation instructions for details.
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 cases, 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 your local telephone company.
For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN is part of the identifier with the
format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal
point. (For example, 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately
shown on the label.
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. 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.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may
temporarily disconnect your service. The telephone company may notify you in
advance, but when advance notice isn’t practical, they will notify you as soon as
possible and advise you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
The telephone company may make changes in their facilities, equipment, operations,
or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If they do, they will
notify you in advance so you can make the modifications to maintain uninterrupted
service.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone
company. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state
public utility commission, public service commission, or corporation commission for
information.
If you experience trouble with this equipment, please contact the company that
installed the equipment for service and repair information. If the equipment is causing
harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may ask you to disconnect
the equipment until the problem is resolved.

Description
Control panel
Operates and programs your security system. It
communicates to you through displayed and spoken
messages. The panel can communicate to a central
monitoring station and send voice messages to your
offsite phone.
Introduction
The Simon XT uses wireless technology to warn your family about intrusion,
carbon monoxide and fire. The system communicates with a central monitoring
station and sends voice messages to an offsite phone.
Figure 1: Simon XT system
The security system uses sensors that communicate alarms to the control panel
using radio waves.
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
displayed and spoken messages, beeps, and indicator lights on the panel itself.
A Simon XT installation may include any of the devices listed in Table 1 below.
