QUICK INSTALLING/TESTING YOUR SYSTEM
This section describes how to initialize
all of the system’s accessories so they
are recognized by the console and
how to test the system to make sure it
is working properly. Perform all the
procedures in this section, then follow
the instructions in “Mounting Accesso-
ries” on Page 17.
You can add other separately pur-
chased accessories to the system by
following the appropriate initialization
and testing procedures in this section.
SETTING UP THE
CONSOLE
1. Choose a location for the console
that is:
close to a telephone jack so you
can easily connect the tele-
phone dialer
• central to the doors/windows
you want to protect so all sen-
sors are within range of the
console (100 feet)
positioned where you can easily
check the zone indicators for
any problems, but not where an
intruder could easily see it
2. Set the house and unit code dials
on the console to
A1.
Note:
You can set the console to
any house code, but you must
also set all accessories/sensors to
the same house code.
3. Place the telescoping antenna in
an upright position and fully
extend it.
4. For backup power in case of an
AC power failure, place a 9-volt
alkaline battery in the battery
compartment. See “Replacing the
Console’s Battery” on Page 37.
