QUICK INSTALLING/TESTING YOUR SYSTEM
This section describes how to initialize
system accessories so the console
recognizes them and how to test the
system to make sure it works properly.
Perform all the procedures in this sec-
tion, then follow the instructions in “Lo-
cating and Mounting Accessories.”
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 modular phone jack.
Central to doors/windows you
want to protect so all sensor
transmitters are within 100 feet.
Positioned where you can eas-
ily check the zone indicators for
problems, but not where an
intruder could easily see it.
2. For backup power in case of an
AC power failure, connect and
place a 9-volt alkaline battery
(Cat. No. 23-553) in the battery
compartment.
3. Plug the console into any stan-
dard AC outlet that is not con-
trolled by an on/off switch, then
fully extend the antenna.
4. Plug the telephone cord into the
console and plug the other end
into a modular phone jack.
