READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION

Your console’s telephone dialer is designed to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each telephone or telephone device that you connect to the telephone line draws power from the telephone lin e. We refer to this po wer draw as t he device's ringer equivalence number, or REN. The REN is shown 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 impair ringer operation. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from the line.

Note: You must not connect your console to:

• Coin-operated systems

• Party-line systems

• Most electronic key telephone systems

Your console’s telephone dialer complies with Part 68 of must, upon request, p rovide the FCC registration number and the REN to your telephone company. Both numbers are shown on the bottom of the console.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

After you set up your account with ORCA Monitoring Services, your system calls and reports alarms to O RCA Monitoring Services’ trained staff of security professionals. See “During an Alarm” on Page 26.

The system also automatically calls ORCA Monitoring Services about once per month to perform a routine check in. This call is made between Midnight and 6 AM to avoid possible interference with other phone calls. If you lift the handset and hear strange tones, hang up and wait a few minutes for the call to end. If ORCA Monitoring Services does not receive a check-in within this t i me, they ca l l you to let you k n o w of a possible problem with the system.

ORCA Monitoring Services can also have the system blink the MONITOR indicator and sound a chirp. If you see this, call 1-800-FOR-ORCA to determine the problem.

SETTING UP MONITORED SERVICE

Important:

erational until ORCA Monitoring Services programs the system.

To set up service, you need to:

• Fill out the enclosed monitoring agreement and mail or fax it to ORCA Monitoring Services.

• Install the system.

Your system is not fully op-

• Call ORCA Monitoring Services by lifting your phone’s handset and pressing console or b y dialing 1-800-FORORCA (1-800-367-6722) from a telephone on the same line as your system.

During the call, ORCA Moni toring Services instructs you to press

MONITOR

hang up the phone. They then program option settings (listed on Pages 8–9) into the system. The preferred settings work best for most situations . However, you can ask ORCA Monitoring Services to change these settings to make the system work best for you. (If you do not ask for changes, the preferred settings are used.)

Note:

programming is complete. To avoid interrupting system programming, do not lift your telephone’s handset until you hear the beep.

After ORCA Monitoring Services programs your system, you can beg in using it. However, they do not notify emergency services of an alert until they have recei ved and responded to your monitoring agreement. Allow 24 hours for faxed requests and 5 days for mailed requests.

Note:

5 days before you move to another address.

PLANNING YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM

Before you set up your system, draw a security plan of your home. This i s es pecially important if you install sensor transmitters to protect several different zones.

If you live in an upstairs apartment, the front door might be the be st place to mount a door/window sensor transmitter. If you live in a house or downstairs apartment, you might want to cover a back door or window.

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 alert ORCA that someone is breaking 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. Monitored Alarm decals are included with your system. Additional decals (Cat. No. 49-507) are available at your local Radio Shack store.

• Choose a locat ion for the console where it is not easily accessible or seen by intruders.

In addition, most police departments offer information that might be helpful. After making a preliminary plan, contact your local police department to see if they offer guidelines or other services for pla nning a ho me securi ty system.

Floorplan Goes Here

49-257 0.fm Page 11 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 3:59 PM

ASSIGNING SECURITY ZONES

A security zone is an area of protection covered by a single d oor/window se nsor 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”).

When you initialize your security system’s sensor transmitters, the console assigns a zone number to the sensor transmitter (see “Initializing the Door/ Window Sensor Transmitters”). The kit includes numbered stickers you attach to each sensor transmitter to show its zone number.

For y our re feren ce, m ake 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 ZONES

If you want to remove one accessory, reassign an accessory to a zone currently in use, or add an accessory when all zones are assigned, you must complet ely r e init ia l iz e the syst em.

To reinitia lize t he syst em, set
