On the side of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number of this equipment. NOTIFICATION TO TELEPHONE COMPANY The customer shall notify the telephone company of the particular line to which the connection will be made, and provide the FCC registration number and the ringer equivalence of the protective circuit. FCC Registration Number: F53CAN-30678-AL-E Ringer Equivalence Number: 0.1B USOC Jack: RJ-31X TELEPHONE CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS Except for the telephone company provided ringers, all connections to the telephone network shall be made through standard plugs and telephone company provided jacks, or equivalent, in such a manner as to allow for easy, immediate disconnection of the terminal equipment. Standard jacks shall be so arranged that, if the plug connected thereto is withdrawn, no interference to the operation of the equipment at the customer’s premises which remains connected to the telephone network shall occur by reason of such withdrawal. INCIDENCE OF HARM Should terminal equipment or protective circuitry cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone company shall, where practicable, notify the customer that temporary disconnection of service may be required; however, where prior notice is not practicable, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service if such action is deemed reasonable in the circumstances. In the case of such temporary discontinuance, the telephone company shall promptly notify the customer and will be given the opportunity to correct the situation. ADDITIONAL TELEPHONE COMPANY INFORMATION The security control panel must be properly connected to the telephone line with a USOC RJ-31X telephone jack. The FCC prohibits customer-provided terminal equipment be connected to party lines or to be used in conjunction with coin telephone service. Interconnect rules may vary from state to state. CHANGES IN TELEPHONE COMPANY EQUIPMENT OR FACILITIES The telephone company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment, operations or procedures, where such actions are reasonably required and proper in its business. Should any such changes render the customer’s terminal equipment incompatible with the telephone company facilities the customer shall be given adequate notice to the effect modifications to maintain uninterrupted service. RINGER EQUIVALENCE NUMBER (REN) The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices that you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that you may connect to your line, you may want to contact your local telephone company. EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE FACILITY If you experience trouble with this telephone equipment, please contact the facility indicated below for information on obtaining service or repairs. The telephone company may ask that you disconnect this equipment from the network until the problem has been corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.

Your DSC security equipment has been designed to give you the greatest possible flexibility and convenience. The LCD keypad will guide you through each operation with English language prompts. The keypad provides audible feedback each time a key is pressed; with unique audible sequences, it will also signal system troubles and other indications of system status. Read this manual carefully and have your installer instruct you on your system’s operation. Become familiar with the features that have been implemented on your system. All users of this system should be equally instructed in its use. About this Manual This manual is a thorough explanation of all system functions, including troubleshooting and programming access codes in addition to performing basic system functions. Most users of the system will not need to know all of this information. The first section of this manual, titled “General System Operation,” explains general system concepts and instructs the user on how to arm and disarm the system and bypass zones. Photocopy this section and distribute it to general users of the system. The remaining sections of the manual are reserved for more detailed system information. Fire Detection This equipment is capable of monitoring fire detection devices such as smoke detectors and providing a warning alarm if a fire condition is detected. Good fire detection depends on having adequate numbers of fire detectors placed in appropriate locations. This equipment should be installed in accordance with NFPA 72 (NFPA, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincey MA 02269). Carefully review the “Fire Escape Planning” guidelines in this manual. NOTE: Your installer must enable the fire detection portion of this equipment before it will work. Monitoring This system is capable of transmitting alarms, troubles, and emergency information over telephone lines to a monitoring station. If you inadvertently initiate an alarm, immediately call the monitoring station to prevent an unnecessary response. NOTE: Your installer must enable the monitoring function before it will work.

Operation 1.1 Getting to Know Your System Your security system is made up of a control panel, one or more keypads and various detectors and sensors. The control panel will be mounted out of the way in a utility room or basement. The metal control cabinet contains the system’s electronics and stand-by battery. There is normally no reason for anyone except an installer or service person to have access to the control panel. The keypads each have an audible indicator, an alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD), status lights and command entry keys. The keypad is used to send commands to the system and to display the current system status. Each keypad will be mounted in convenient locations inside the protected premises, near designated points of entry/exit. Zones and Partitions The protected premises has been divided by your installer into zones and partitions. A zone is an area of protection that has one or more detection sensors connected to it (motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, door contacts or shock sensors). A single zone might be a room, a hallway or a door or window. Two or more of these zones will be linked together by the control panel to form a partition. A partition is a region of the protected premises. A partition can be armed and disarmed independently from other partitions. All of the partitions together form the entire system. Some zones will belong to more than one partition, such as points of entry/ exit and hallways. These are called global zones because they are not assigned to a single partition. Access Codes As a user of the system, you will be assigned a 4- or 6-digit access code. Access codes are used to arm and disarm the partition(s) to which they are assigned. Some access codes can perform additional system functions, such as programming system options and bypassing zones. Your access code may not allow you to access certain system functions.For instance, if your code is only allowed to arm and disarm Partition 1, you will not be able to arm or disarm other partitions, or the entire system. Keypads Several LCD keypads will be installed throughout the protected premises, usually one at each entry/exit door. Some keypads are programmed only to access a single partition. These are called partition keypads.
