READ THIS FIRST
This equipment generates and uses
radio frequency energy, and if not
installed and used properly, that is, in
strict accordance with the manufacturers
instructions, may cause interference to
radio and television reception. It has
been type tested and found to comply
with the limits for remote control security
devices in accordance with the
specifications in Sub-Parts B and C of
Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are
designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a
residential installation. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause interference to
radio or television reception, which can
be determined by unplugging the
equipment, try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following
measures.
• Reorient the antenna of the radio/TV
experiencing the interference.
• Relocate the console with respect to
the radio/TV.
• Move the console away from the radio/
TV.
• Plug the console into an outlet on a
different electrical circuit from the
radio/TV experiencing the interference.
If necessary, consult X10 Technical
Support for additional suggestions.
The Personal Assistance Console’s
telephone dialer is designed to conform
to federal regulations, and it can be
connected to most telephone lines.
However, each telephone or telephone
device that is connected to the telephone
line draws power from the telephone line.
This is referred to as the device’s ringer
equivalence number, or REN.
If more than one telephone or other
device is connected to the same line,
add up all the RENs. If the total is more
than five, the telephones might not ring.
In rural areas, a total REN of three might
impair ringer operation. If ringer
operation is impaired, remove one of the
devices from the line.
Note: The console must not be
connected to:
• Coin-operated systems
• Party-line systems
• Most electronic key telephone systems
The console’s telephone dialer complies
with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must,
upon request, provide the FCC
registration number and the REN to the
local telephone company. Both numbers
are shown on the bottom of the console.
The telephone portion of the Personal
Assistance Console has been tested and
found to comply with all applicable UL
and FCC standards.
In the unlikely event that the console
causes problems on the telephone line,
the telephone company can disconnect
service. The telephone company
attempts to notify you in advance. If
advance notice is not practical, the
telephone company notifies you as soon
as possible and advises you of your right
to file a complaint with the FCC.
Also, the telephone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment,
operations, or procedures that could
affect the operation of this console. The
telephone company notifies the owner of
these changes in advance, so the
necessary steps can be taken to prevent
interruption of telephone service.
Note: The security functions of this
system have not been tested by
Underwriters Laboratories.

Installation
The X10 Personal Assistance System includes a Personal Assistance Console with an
automatic dialer that calls neighbors or friends when the CALL button is pressed on the
Pendant Remote.
The system may be configured with any combination of the following items:
• Up to 16 Pendant Remotes
• Additional X10 automation modules such as plug-in lamp and appliance modules and
wired-in replacement wall switches.
This manual describes the installation process for the Console and Pendant Remotes. It
does not cover the additional X10 automation modules which are supplied with their own
installation instructions.
Locating the Console
Choose a location for the Personal Assistance Console which is as central as possible in
the house, while providing access to a modular telephone jack and an AC outlet. The
console may be placed on a shelf or table, or may be fixed to a wall using the optional
mounting bracket and screws.
