READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your secu rity system
to conform to federal regulations, and
you can connect it to most telephone
lines. However, each device that you
connect to the phone line draws p ower
from the phone line. We refer to this
power draw as the device’s Ringer
Equivalence Number, or REN (shown
on the back of your system).
If you are using more than one phone or
other device on the line, add up all the
RENs. If the total is more than five, your
phones might not ring. In rural areas, a
total REN of three might impair ringer
operation. If ringer operation is impaired, disconnect one of the devices
from the line.
This security system complies with Part
FCC Rules
68 of
quest, provide the FCC registration
number and the REN to your phone
company. Both numbers are show n on
the back of the system.
Your security system detects movement within a 180° arc up to 36 feet
away. Once your system is armed, any
movement within this range automatically triggers the alarm.
After you set up your account with
ORCA Monitoring Services, your system calls and reports alarms to their
trained staff of security professionals.
The ORCA Monitoring Services staff
first tries to contact you to verify that it is
not a false alarm. By calling you first,
ORCA Monitoring Services ensures
that the police are not contacted if you
accidentally set off your alarm.
In alarm situations, the monitoring cen ter dispatches the police to your address and tries to contact someone you
listed on your emergency call list. (You
might want to list your work phone number as the first number.)
ORCA Monitoring Services tries each
number once in the order that you listed
them on your monitoring a greement. If
ORCA Monitoring Services contacts
one of the people listed, they do not disturb the other people on the list.
SETTING UP MONITORED
SERVICE
To set up service, you need to:
• Fill out the enclosed monitoring
agreement and mail or fax it to
ORCA Monitoring Services.
Monitored service does not begin
until ORCA Monitoring Services
receives and processes your monitoring agreement. Allow 24 hours
for faxed requests and 5 days for
mailed requests.
• Install the system
• Call ORCA Monitoring Services at
1-800-FOR-ORCA (1-800-367-
6722) from a telephone on the
same line as yo ur system to have
the system initia li zed .
During the call, ORCA Monitoring
Services programs the PIN and
other settings (listed on Page 6)
into the system. The preferred settings work best for m ost situations.
However, you can ask ORCA Monitoring Services to change these
settings to make the system work
best for you.
Place a check mark next to any settings you want to discuss with ORCA Monitoring
Services, and refer to this page when you call them to set up service.

For your security system to be most effective, you need to install it in a location
that meets all of the following conditions:
• Is near an AC outlet.
Note:
near an AC outlet, you can have an
electrician install an outlet for you.
• Is near a modular telephone jack.
Note:
near a modular telephone jack, you
can install a modular jack yourself
or have the telephone company
install one for you.

be installed is RJ-11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate jack).
• Overlooks an area that an intruder
would most likely cross when
entering or moving through your
home.
You can place the system on a
shelf or table, or mount it on a wall
or in the corner of a room. The system detects movement by sensi ng
a change in temperature within its
field of view. When someone walks
past the system, it detects the temperature change and triggers the
alarm.
Also, note that the system is m ore
sensitive to movement across its
coverage area than to movement
directly toward or away from it.
• Does not directly face a window,
heating or air conditioning vent,
appliance, outside wall, or other
heat source.
These sources could produce rapid
temperature changes that the system might incorrectly identify as an
intruder.
• Is high enough not to be triggered
by pets, yet is low enough to be
triggered by someone of average
height walking across the area.
To help prevent false alarms
caused by pets, the system senses
motion at or above its mounted
location. It does not sense motion
below where you mount it. In most
installations, a location about 3
feet off the floor provides the best
security.

USING THE WARNING
STICKERS
The four enclosed warning stickers are
an important part of your security system. Statistics show that homes with a
security system are 15 times less likely
to be burglarized than homes that do
not have a securi ty system. T he stickers
are a first line of defense, warning a potential burglar that you have a system
installed.
Place a sticker at areas where intruders
would most likely enter your home, such
as:
• The front door (most burglars ente r
this way)
• The back door
• Front and rear windows
• Fire escape windows (in apartm ent
buildings)
• Side windows
Radio Shack stores sell additional stickers if you need m ore than the four sup plied.

from a phone you can reach without setting off the alarm.
• If the entry delay has elapsed, you
must wait for the system t o c ontac t
ORCA Monitoring Services and
begin sounding the siren before
you can disarm the system.
REMOTE ARM/DISARM
You can arm and disarm your system
by calling your home. If you have an answering machine, wait for the answering machine to answ er, then enter the
arm or disarm code (1-800 -YOUR PIN
+ A (2) to arm with an entry delay, I (4)
to arm for instant alert, or D (3) to disarm). The system sounds one tone to
verify arming, two tones to verify disarming, or three tones if there is a problem.
ALARM CONDITIONS
When the system detects a violation, it
calls ORCA Monitoring Services then
starts a 5-minute alert siren. ORCA
Monitoring Services first calls your
home to try to confirm the alarm. If no
one answers, or if the person who answers does not know your password,
ORCA Monitoring Services notifies the
police and also tries to co ntact at least
one person you listed on your monitoring service agreement.
After 5 minutes, the system stops
sounding the siren and rearms. The
next time you disarm the system, it
sounds three tones to let you know that
the system was violated.
Note:
If your system has repeated false
alarms, ORCA Monitoring Services
might temporarily disarm your system
until the problem is resolved.
If you do not have an answering machine, ORCA Monitoring Services can
have your system answer the phone after a specified number (the preferred
setting is 8 rings). Enter t he arm or di s arm sequence when ringing stops.
Notes:
does not work if you have voice mail,
call forwarding, another telephone service that routes unanswered calls to another number, or an answering machine
that holds the line for more than 60 seconds after you hang up, and might not
work with all remote-controlled answering machines.

CLEARING THE SERVICE
INDICATOR
After you start service with ORCA Monitoring Services, the yellow indicator
flashes when ORCA Monitoring Services needs to contact you. If the SERVICE indicator flashes, call 1-800-FORORCA to find out how to clear the indicator. The system still functions as a
stand alone alarm when the indicator is
flashing, but it does not call ORCA Monitoring Services during an alert.

TESTING THE SYSTEM
There are three ways to test your system:
• Testing Coverage
• Testing the Siren
• Testing the Monitoring Service
TESTING COVERAGE
Periodically test the coverage to be sure
your system will detect intruders. To do
this, disarm the system. Then walk
around the covered area. When the
system detects y our movement, the red
ARMED indicator flashes. If the system
does not sense your movement, reread
“Installation” to be sure it is properly installed .
TESTING THE SIREN
Periodically test the siren to be sure it
will sound when triggered. To do this, lift
the handset of any ph one c onn ec ted to
the same line as the system. Then dial
1-800-YOUR PIN and T (8) then hang
up within 60 seconds. The system waits
for the exit delay. Then, when it detects
motion, it sounds the siren for 3 seconds.
TESTING THE
MONITORING SERVICE
Periodically have the system call the
monitoring service to confirm they are
properly receiving its signals during an
alert. Before you do this, have your
password handy. First call O RCA M onitoring Services at 1-800-FOR-ORCA to
let them know you are going to t est the
system. Then arm the system, wait for
the exit delay to expire, and walk
through the covered area.
ORCA Monitoring Services should cal l
you within a few minutes of the alert.
Give them the password and advise
them again that you were testing the
system.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Radio Shack Central 2000 Easy Installation Monitored Motion Detector Security System is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. Follow these guidelines to keep it working properly for years.
Keep the system dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
can contain minerals that corrode electronic circuits.
Use and store the system only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and
distort or melt plastic parts.
Handle the system gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the system to work improperly.
Keep the system away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Use only a fresh 9V alkaline battery in the system. An old or weak
battery can leak chemicals that could damage electronic circuits.
Wipe the system with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
CLEANER
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean your system.
Modifying or tampering with the sytem’s internal components can cause a malfunction and invalidate your sytem’s warranty and v oid your FCC aut horizat ion to op erate it. If your system is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack
store or contact ORCA M oni toring S ervices at 1-800-FOR-ORCA for assistance. If
the trouble is harming the phone lines, the telephone company might ask you to disconnect the system until you resolve the problem.

49-351 .fm Page 17 We dnesday, August 18, 1999 4:37 PM
THE FCC WANTS Y OU TO
KNOW
In the unlikely event that your system
causes problems on the phone line, the
phone company can disconnect your
service. The phone compa ny attempts
to notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, the phone company
notifies you of y our right to file a com plaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its li nes, equipmen t, operations, or procedures that could affect
the operation of your system. The
phone company notifies you in advance, so you can take steps to prevent
interruption of your phone service.
LIGHTNING
Your system has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage from
surges in phone and power line current.
These protection circuits meet or exceed FCC requirements. However,
lightning striking the phone or power
lines can damage your system.
Lightning damage is not common. However, if you live in an a rea that has frequent electrical storms, we suggest that
you unplug your system during storms
to reduce the possibility of damage.

Frequent False Alarms
• Always disar m the syste m as soon as you get home.
• Do not let children arm and disarm the system.
• If you are not sure whether the system is armed or disarmed, disarm it.
• Be sure everyone authorized t o be in yo ur hom e kn ows bot h the PIN and your
password.
• Periodically test your system. See “Testing the System” on Page 15.
Three Tones When You Arm or Disarm the System
• Be sure the system is properly connected to AC power and a backup battery is
installed.
• If the yellow SERVICE indicator is flashing, call 1-800-FOR-ORCA for instructions. Th e system does not call ORCA Monit o ring Services duri n g a n alert if the
SERVICE indicator is flashing.
Cannot Arm or Disarm the System
• Be sure you are using the correct PIN.
• Be sure the system is properly connected to the phone line and that either AC
power or the backup battery is connected (or both).
• Slow down. Even if the s ystem is soun ding the alarm , you have p lenty of time
to enter the PIN.
