SETTING UP THE CONSOLE
Choosing a location for the Console
Hallway
Living Room
Study
Dining Room
Kitchen
Before you select a location for the Console, think of the areas in y our home where you would be most likely to use the Panic Buttons.
Select a location that is central to those areas and that is within the Console’s range (up to 100 feet).
Here are some other things to consider when choosing the Console’s location:
• It must be close to a modular telephone jack so you can easily connect the telephone dialer.
• The Console’s loud alarm might frighten you if you tr ip it while you are next to it, so it is best to place the Console in a large open area (like a living room). But, you should also place it close to a window so neighbors are more likely to hear the alarm.
The siren in the Console can be turned off by ORCA Monitoring Services if you prefer . You can then hide the Console in a closet and use the Powerhorn to scare away int ruders.
5
Setting up the Console
1. Slide off the battery compartment cover and clip a 9V battery onto the battery contacts.
2. Slide the battery into the battery compartment and replace the cover.
If your telephone wiring does not have a modular jack, you can:
Update the wiring yourself. Most good electrical stores sell adapters to convert older wiring methods to modular wiring.
Have the telephone company update the wiring for you.
Note: The telephone company charges to install the necessary jacks.
The USOC number of the jacks to be installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate installation).
3. Plug one end of the supplied telephone cord into the Console and the other end of the telephone cord into a modular telephone jack.
Warning: To reduce the risk of electric shock, never plug a telephone cord into a telephone line jack until the other end of the cord is plugged into the Console.
Note: if you already have a phone plugged into the jack, use the included 'T' adapter to plug the Console and telephone into the same jack.

SETTING UP FOR MONIT ORING BY ORCA
Introduction to digital monitoring
The ORCA P anic System incorporates the same digital communicator technology found in expensiv e high-end security systems. Features supported include remote configuration and alarm type confirmation.
When the Console is tripped, a loud piercing siren sounds and lights connected to Lamp Modules flash on and off. It then calls ORCA Monitoring Services and sends a digitally coded message allowing the station operator to identify your address , telephone number and even the type of alarm which occurred (in this case Panic).
Registering with ORCA Monitoring Services.
Once you ha ve installed the system y ou are ready to set up for monitoring. To do this, all you need to do is:
• Fill out the enclosed monitoring agreement and mail or fax it to ORCA Monitoring Services.
• Call ORCA Monitoring Services at 1-800 FOR ORCA (1-800-367-6722) and follow the instructions to have your system initialized.
Note: Although you can register your system as soon as it has been installed, the ORCA Monitoring Ser vices will not respond to alarm calls until the signed monitoring agreement has been received and you have been allocated y our security code which will be notified to you by return.
Calling Customer Service
After you have registered your system you can easily call the customer service center if you need help, or to change any of the default options as follows:
• Set the Console slide switch to RUN1 or RUN2.
• Press the MONITOR button. The Console automatically dials the customer service number.
• Pick up the handset of a phone connected to the same line as the Console.
Alternatively , you can dial the telephone number in the usual way with any telephone connected to the same line as the Console - just pick up the telephone and dial 1-800-FOR ORCA (1-800-367-6722).

Panic Buttons
When you press the red PANIC button on the KR15A Panic Button the SH10A siren that you installed earlier chimes.
If you hold the button for about 4 seconds the SH10A siren sounds a loud 95 decibel alarm. The Console sounds its siren, flashes lights connected to Lamp Modules (set to A-1) and calls ORCA Monitoring Services for help.
ORCA Monitoring Services will then call you back to verify that it wasn't a false alarm. If it was a false alarm just give the operator your pass word and ORCA will not call the Police.
IMPORTANT:
If there is someone there who forces you to tell ORCA your password, tell them the wrong password, the y will then dispatch the Police.
