Temperature Guard Description
The Temperature Guard monitors temperature and power wherever it is located, and dials the programmed emergency phone numbers if the temperature goes out of programmed limits or if the power
goes out for more than five minutes.
Please wait until the Temperature Guard stops speaking before pressing a button. During the Main
Menu and Program Menu, you may enter your selection at any time between options.
Programming Overview
Programming the Temperature Guard is accomplished over the phone and only has to be done once,
unless it is necessary to make a change. Before programming, do the following:
1. Connect a phone line, plug in the power pack to an outlet, and connect the power jack.
Use of a phone and power line surge suppressor is required.
Use of a DSL filter is required if there is DSL service in your home.
Turn the unit on by moving the power switch from the position labeled 0 to the position labeled 1.
2. From another phone line dial the number where the Temperature Guard is located. The Temperature Guard will pick up after the first ring.
3. The Temperature Guard prompts for the 4-digit PIN number. Enter the factory default PIN num-
ber, 0000.
4. You will hear the Main Menu options. You may enter your selection at any time.
5. To access the Program Menu press 3 at the Main Menu.
