Your console's tel ephone dialer is designed to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to mo st
telephone lines. However, each telephone or telephone device that you
connect to the telephone line draws
power from the telepho ne line. W e refer to this power dr aw as the device's
ringer equivalence number, or REN.
The REN is on the bottom of the console.
If you use more than one telephone or
other device on the line, add up all the
RENs. If the total is more than five,
your telephones might not ring. In rural
areas, a total REN of three might im pair ringer operation. If ringer operation is impaired, remove one of the
devices from the line.
Note:
You must not connect your con-
sole to:
THE FCC W ANTS Y OU TO

In the unlikely ev ent that yo ur secur ity
console dialer causes problems on the
phone line, the phone company can
temporarily discontinue your service.
If this happens, the phone company attempts to notify you in advance.
If advance notice is not pr actical, the
phone company notifies you as soon
as possible and advises you of your
right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect
the operation of this telephone. The
telephone company notifies you of
these changes in advance, so you can
take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone service.

PLANNING YOUR SECURIT Y SYSTEM
Before you set up your system, make a
security plan of y our h ome. This is especially important if you install multiple
sensors to protect several different
zones.
Even if you only install the supplied
sensors, take time to think about the
best location for them. If you l ive in an
upstairs apartment, the front door
might be the best place to mount a
wireless sensor transmitter. If you live
in a house or downstairs apartment,
you might want to cover a ba ck door
and/or window.
Start by drawing a simp le floorplan of
your home, which you can use through
all stages of planning your system.
Your security system has three goals:
• to prevent loss by discouraging
potential intruders
• to scare intruders away before
they can take your property or
break into your home
To help accomplish these goals, you
should:
• Post decals on doors and windows stating that your home is
protected by a security system.
Decals (Cat. No. 49-507) are
available at your local RadioShack
store.
• Choose a location for the console
where it is not easily acc es sible or
seen by intruders.
In addition, most police departments
offer information that m ight be h elpful .
After making a preli minary plan, contact your local police department to
see if they offer guidelines or other services for planning a home securit y system.
• to alert you or others that someone is breaking into your home

49-2551AB.fm Page 9 Friday, February 19, 1999 3:41 PM
ASSIGNING SECURITY
CODES
A security zone is an area of protection
covered by a single wireless sensor
transmitter, motion detector, or other
sensing/transmitting device. Your security console monitors up to 16 zones
and alerts you if there is a violation
(see “Zone Indicators” on Page 27).
When you init ialize your security system’s sensors, the cons ole assigns a
zone number to the sensor (see “Initializing the Wireless Sensor Transmitters” on Page 13). The system
includes numb ered st icke rs yo u att a ch
to each sensor to show its zon e number. For your reference, make a record
of which area of your home a zone
covers. For example, using the floorplan you drew, you could mark the
front door as “Zone 1.”
REASSIGNING
SECURITY CODES
If you want to r emove one acce ssory,
reassign an accessory to a zone currently in use, or add an accessory
when all zones are assigned, you must
completely reinitialize the entire system.
To reinitialize the system, unplug the
console and remove its battery backup. The c onsole loses all st ored c odes.
Then reinitialize all remote controls,
wireless sensor tr ansmitters, and motion detectors, a ssigning each accessory to the desired zone.

QUICK INSTALLING/TESTING YOUR SYSTEM
This section describes how to initialize
all of the system’s accessories so they
are recognized by the console and
how to test the system to mak e sure it
is working properly. Perform all the
procedures in this sec tion, then follow
the instructions in “Mounting Accessories” on Page 17.
You can add other separately purchased accessorie s to the system by
following the appropriate initialization
and testing procedures in this section.
SETTING UP THE
CONSOLE
1. Choose a location for the console
that is:
• close to a telephone jack so you
can easily connect the telephone dialer
3. Place the telescoping antenna in
an upright position and fully
extend it.
4. For backup power in case of an
AC power failure, place a 9-volt
alkaline battery in the battery
compar tment. See “Replacing th e
Console’s Battery” on Page 37.
• central to the doors/windows
you want to protect so all sensors are within range of the
console (100 feet)
• positioned where you can easily
check the zone indicators for
any problems, but not where an
intruder could easily see it
2. Set the house and unit code di als
on the console to
Note:
You can set the cons ole to
any house code, but you must
also set all accessories/sensors to
the same house code.

Notes:
• If you mount magnetic switches
on metal doors or frames,
ensure that they are no more
3
than
/16 of an inch apart. On
wooden surfaces, they can be
3
up to
/8 of an inch apart.
• Do not mount the magnet
directly onto a m etal surface. If
necessary, use a wood or plastic spacer.
• For sliding doors/windows, it is
best to mount the magnet and
switch at the bottom of the window. This way, the magnet will
make a “clean break” from the
switch when the window is
opened.
Notes:
• To protect mo re than one door or
window with a single sensor, use
NC-type (Normally Closed) magnetic switches and loop them in
series from on e d oor o r win dow t o
the next using 18-gauge wire.
Then connect both ends of the
loop to the sensor.
• The RadioShack Wireles s Sen-
sor Transmitter (Cat. No. 49-
2585) has an NC magnetic
switch and is compatible with
your security console.
5. Open the door or window. The
light on the se nsor turns on each
time you open the door or window.
Repeat Steps 1–5 for any additional
sensors you want to install (in up to 16
zones).

or walk out of range of the detector.
Notes:
• If the range is low (less than 30
feet), check that the detector is
horizontal and at a height of at
least 5 feet from the ground.
• The motion detector automatically switches back to normal
operation after 2 minutes in the
test mode. If you want to switch it
back sooner, press the
TEST but-
ton.
To test the alarm, arm the console and
wait about 45 seconds. Then walk in
front of the motion detector and check
that the alarm is triggered.
After the motion detector triggers the
alarm, it automatically “locks out” for
about 45 seconds to save battery power.

SETTING UP THE TELEPHONE DIALER
The telephone dialer dials a friend or
neighbor (for example) and plays a
message in the following situations:
• when you press
hand-held remote control wi th the
system armed
• when you press
together on the keychain remote
control with the system armed
• when a wireless sensor transmit ter or motion detector connected
to the system reports a violation
while the system is armed
When the console plays its message,
the person contacted can press any
number on a touch-tone phone and
listen-in to your home to determine
the problem. The alarm stops when
the person contacted presses a button on the phone.
If no one answers at the number called
within about 48 seconds, or if someone
answers but does not press a number,
the console calls the next nu mber (up
to four phone numbers).
Notes:
• If the person you choose to accept
calls from your system does not
have touch-tone servic e, they can
use a touch-tone pocket dialer,
such as Cat. No. 43-145 or 43-
146.
PANIC on the
ARM and DISARM
• If the person tries to c all you after
the console has already begun
dialing other numbers, the caller
hears a busy signal.
• About 75 seconds after the listener presses a number, the alarm
resumes for 2–3 minutes.
• The console co ntinue s d ial in g an d
repeating its mes sage until it gets
a response. If it receives no
response within 4 minutes, the
alarm stops and the console stops
dialing.
• To stop the console from dialing
before 4 minutes have passed,
pick up any phone on the same
line. After you hear the first r ing o f
the number currently bei ng dia led ,
press
0. Stay on the line to speak
to whomever answers, and wait 2
minutes (for the console to
release the phone line) before
pressing any other keys on the
remote control or console or
attempting to dial another number.
SETTING UP PHONE
NUMBERS
Notes
:
• You should program the console
to call a friend, relative or neighbor who can listen-in to your home
to determine if there is a real problem. The person can then call the
police if necessary, or call you
back to see if everything is fine.
22
49-2551AB.fm Page 23 Friday, February 19, 1999 3:41 PM
• You should
not
program the console to dial the police directly,
unless your local police department has a speci al line for emergency dialers.
When programming eme rgency numbers and/or making test calls to em ergency numbers:
• Remain on the line and briefly
explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.
• Perform such activities in off-peak
hours, such as early morning or
late evenings.
Notes:
• The security console is intended
for use only with residential pho ne
systems.
• You can program a maximum of
16 digits. This allows 10-digit dial ing (area code plus number)
which is now required in some
metropolitan areas. For practical
purposes, we do not recommend
programming a long-distance
number.
Follow these steps to store up to four
emergency phone numbers.
1. Set the switch
on the bottom
of the console

Notes:
• If you only want to program one
phone number, just enter the
same number in every memo ry
location.
• If you store only one emer-
gency number in all four memory loca tions, there is a longer
delay between each time the
console calls the number back.
Repeat Steps 1–6 to change a p hone
number.

Notes:
• Your message s hould instruct the
person to press any number on

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack Wire less Home Sec uri ty S ys tem is an exam pl e of s upe rior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your security system so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the console and accessories dry. If they gets wet, wipe them dry
immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the con sole and accessor ies only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the console and accessories away from dust and dirt, which can
cause premature wear of parts.
Handle the console and ac cessories gently and carefull y. Dropping
them can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the console
and system to work improperly.
Use only fresh ba tteri es of the r equ ired s iz e a nd re co mm ende d typ e.
Batteries can le ak chemicals that damage your sys tem’s electronic
parts.
Wipe the console and acc essories with a damp cloth occas ionally to
keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or
strong detergents to clean the console or any accessories.
Modifying or tamperin g with the console’s or accessories’ int ernal components
can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC authorization to operate the system. If your console is not performing as it sh ould,
take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the
telephone lines, the phone company can ask you to disconnect your console system until you have resolved the problem.

radio/TV.
• Plug the console int o an outlet on
a different electrical circuit from
the radio/TV experiencing the
