Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible
to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications com-
pany. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method
of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated
with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a
certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer
should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not
prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian
maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations
made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give
the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect
the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground
connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water
pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be
particularly important in rural areas.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves,
but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electri-
cian, as appropriate.
‘’The Ringer Equivalence Number is an indication of the maximum
number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone inter-
face. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination
of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer
Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed five.’’
g)
Should you experience trouble with this equipment, please contact
Skylink Customer Support at 1-800-304-1187 for repair or warranty
information. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network,
the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment
until the problem is resolved.
h)
Please follow instructions for repairing if any (e.g. battery replacement
section); otherwise do not alternate or repair any parts of device except
specified.
i)
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the
state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation
commission for information.
j)
NOTICE: If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to
the telephone line, ensure the installation of this model AM-001 does not
disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will
disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a quali-
fied installer.
NOTICE: According to telephone company reports, AC electrical surges,
typically resulting from lightning strikes, are very destructive to telephone
equipment connected to AC power sources. To minimize damage from
these types of surges, a surge arrestor is recommended.

Phone Number Programming
You can program up to 5 Emergency Phone Numbers. When the system is in panic,
the control panel will call these phone numbers and announce its status.
The following will need to be programmed:
- Phone memory (from 1 to 5), this is where the phone numbers will be stored
- Phone number, up to 29 digits.
- Redial count, this is how many times that phone number will be called, from 1
to 9 times.
- Repeat count, this is how many times the emergency message will be repeated,
from 1 to 9 times.
**Note:
You may enter a 3-second pause between digits by pressing [Mute] if needed.
You may also enter consecutive multiple pause periods. For example, you may
enter a phone number: (123)-456-7890 [Mute] 1234. After the phone number
(123)-456-7890 is dialed, it will wait for 3 seconds, then dial 1234, which can be

user's instructions.
- You may quit programming by pressing [PROG] button at any time.
- If no phone number is programmed, the ARM LED will continue to flash.
Testing Phone Numbers:
After you have programmed all the phone numbers, you should verify you have
programmed the phone numbers correctly. This can be done by triggering the
alarm silently by entering the duress password, so it dials to the programmed
phone numbers without sounding the alarm.
Note:
You must inform the recipients of the programmed phone numbers, so they know
what to expect when they receive the phone call from the control panel during an
emergency. These recipients should know the password to your control panel if
you expect them to have remote access of your control panel. For more informa-
tion regarding receiving the emergency call, please refer to page 23.
1. Press [Arm], you should hear beeping from the control panel.
2. Press [3838]. Beeping will stop, and the control panel will start to dial the first number.
3. The called party should receive the call. Pick up the call and say “Hello”, an
emergency message “System Panic” will be played. If the programmed phone
doesn’t ring, ensure the phone number is programmed correctly, or reprogram
this phone number again.
4. After the emergency message has been played for several times (depending on
how many times it was programmed), the called party will hear “Enter Password”.
5. Enter either the master password or secondary password. If the correct
password is accepted, you will hear “Password Accepted”, otherwise, you will
hear “Password Failure”.
6. Press [0][#] on the telephone to hang up.
7. The control panel will start to dial the next programmed phone number.
Note:
- Refer to page 23 [Receiving the Emergency Call] for more info on how to react
to an emergency call.
- The password is treated as a confirmation of the emergency message. Once a
valid password is entered, the control panel will not call that number again, it
will proceed to the next number.
- If any one of the called parties disarms the control panel, the control panel will
not continue to dial the remaining phone numbers.
- After calling all the programmed phone numbers, the control panel will be back
to the previous operation mode.

HOME AUTOMATION
Event Trigger
You can control up to 5 different devices not only manually, but also automatically. It is
called Event Trigger. That means when a sensor is triggered, the control panel will
transmit a signal to activate the designated control module. Applications include:
- Lights on when you open the front door
(walking into a room, lights on automatically),
this is called "Event Trigger on".
- Lights off when you open a door. (walk away
from a room, turns lights off), this is called
"Event Triggered off".
Event trigger is only applicable to the sensor(s)
and control module in the same zone. For
example, you can program control module 1 to
be on or off when zone 1 sensor(s) is triggered.
You can also program control module 2 to be
on / off when zone 2 sensor(s) is triggered.
Factory Default: This feature is disabled for
all zones at the factory.
To change the event trigger setting follow the instructions below.

Window / Door Sensor is used to monitor doors or windows that
open and close. When these doors / windows are open or
closed, the sensors will transmit a signal to the control panel to
notify the user. These sensors consist of 2 parts, one is the
transmitter, the other is the magnet.
Before installing the sensor, remove the battery isolator by pulling out the yellow
tab. Once the isolator is removed, the control panel will announce the sensor's
status, such as "Zone 1 Sensor 1 Triggered", and corresponding zone LED will
flash and buzzer will beep. If the magnetic contact is closed, the beeping will stop.
Note:
- Both Window/Door Sensors have been programmed at the factory. They are
Zone 1 Sensor 1 and Zone 2 Sensor 1. Trigger the sensor and listen to the
announcement to determine which one is zone 1 and which is zone 2.
Testing:
After mounting the sensor, test the sensor by opening and closing the door or
window. Open the door or window will result in the followng:
1. Voice announcement - Announce the triggered zone and sensor
2. Beeping - The number of beep represents the zone number
3. Zone LED flashing - Number of flash represents the sensor number.
Mounting the Sensor
The transmitters should be mounted on the door frame or window frame by
double sided tape. The magnet should be mounted on the door or window by
either double sided tape or screws. Make sure the magnet is aligned with the
red marking on the transmitter. If the surface of the frame is flat enough, double-
sided foam tape is sufficient, otherwise, it is recommended to screw the
mounting plate to the frame, then apply double sided tape. After mounting the
sensor, if the AAA+ logo is inverted, remove the front cover and rotate it so the
AAA+ logo is in the upright position.

Undo the screw on the back of the motion sensor and
remove the battery cover. Connect a 9V alkaline battery
to the battery connector. Please note the polarity.
If you are planning to install the motion sensor outdoor,
you should reduce the sensitivity by placing the jumper
at location “2”.
For indoor application, if you want to reduce the
sensitivity, you can change the jumper setting to
“2” as well.
Note:
- Try to mount the sensors as far away from the floor as possible to avoid
damaging them. Mounting the sensors at a higher position will also result in
better operating range.
- Do not mount the sensor to the exterior of the door / window, always mount the
sensor to the interior side of the door / window to avoid being damaged or
stolen by non-intended users.
INSTALLATION
The motion sensor is most suitable for guarding a large area such as living room,
family room, or bedroom. It can also be used to monitor a hallway or stairway.

When installing the motion sensor, avoid placing it near heat or cold producing
devices (i.e. A/C or furnace vents, fans, ovens, space heaters, etc). Air movement,
especially caused by changes in temperature may trigger the Motion Sensor and
cause false alarms. Please carefully test your Motion Sensor so that it will only be
triggered by wanted movement.
You have now successfully installed and programmed the Control Panel and its
sensors. Please follow the rest of the instructions for operations and advanced
programming.
–14–
Testing
Walk test should be performed after the motion sensor is
mounted. Walk in the detected area, if motion is detected, a
red light inside the sensor will glow. If the red light does not
glow, motion has not been detected and you may need to
re-position the sensor. Ensure you walk test all the locations
that you would like the motion sensor to cover.
Note:
- Perform the walk test after you have inserted the
battery for more than 1 minute.
- Before performing the walk test, the sensor should
not detect any motion.
- After motion is detected once, the sensor will not
be triggered unless no motion is detected for 20
seconds. Therefore, wait for at least 20 seconds
during walk testing between 2 activations.
INSTALLATION
You may now close the battery cover and
re-insert the screw.
Mount the ball-head joint on the wall with
screws provided. Slide the back of the
sensor into the ball-head joint. The
mounting angle can be adjusted.

HOME AUTOMATION
The Control Panel can be used to control lights and home applicances with a
Control Module, (Control Module is sold separately). Garage door opener can be
controlled with a Garage Door Receive (sold separately). The Control Panel can
control up to 5 Control Modules / Garage Door Receivers.
There are 3 ways to control these modules / receivers:
1. Using the keypad on the control panel to
operate these modules / receivers manually
2. Calling in away from home using a touch tone
phone (Refer to “Remote Operation by Telephone”)
3. Setting up Event Trigger
(Refer to Advanced Programming)
These control modules should be programmed to the control panel as device
1 to 5. Please follow the programming instructions below to program these
control modules.
Learn Control Modules
Both control panel and control module are transceivers, meaning they can transmit
and receive signals from each other. For home automation, the user will initiate an
action from the control panel, such as sending a signal to turn on the light, then the
control module will receive such signal and respond. The control module will then
send back a confirmation to the control panel
to indicate the light has been turned on.
Therefore, during programming,
it is required to program 2 things:
1. Signal from control module to
control panel (confirmation signal)
2. Signal from control panel to
control module (command signal)

Disarming a triggered control panel
If "System Panic" is announced from the control panel after it has been disarmed,
that means the alarm was triggered when it was in armed mode. Follow the
procedures below to set the control panel back to standby mode.
1. If the alarm was caused by sensor(s), there will be flashing LEDs and
beeping indicating which sensor(s) triggered the alarm. You may want to
check the condition of the triggered sensor(s), the sensor(s) may be damaged
if there were break-ins.
2. You need to reset the sensor manually by triggering it twice, i.e. open and
then close a door / window sensor, or walk in front of the motion sensor. The
LED representing that sensor will stop flashing after it receives the signal
from the sensor.
3. You must now enter the password again on the control panel or press the
disarm button on the keychain remote, as an acknowledgement of the alarm
event. This will set the control panel back to standby mode.
Disarming under Duress
If you are forcibly compelled to disarm the control panel, you may enter the Duress
Password. Entering the duress password will terminate the entry delay, i.e. no
more entry delay beeping. But the control panel will silently call the emergency
phone numbers for help. The called party will hear the voice announcement
“System Panic”.
Note:
- The default duress password is [3838].
–19–
Note:
- The control panel can also be disarmed remotely when nobody is home, with a
touch tone phone. Please refer to “Remote Operation by Telephone” on page 24.
- If 3 consecutive incorrect passwords are entered, alarm will sound immediately,
the control panel will be in panic mode, and start calling the emergency phone
numbers.
OPERATION
2. You must enter a valid password, either the Master Password, or Secondary
Password to disarm the system before entry delay expires. The system can
also be disarmed by pressing button 3 on the keychain remote.
3. When a valid password is entered, you will hear “System Disarmed” and the
entry delay beeping will stop, the ARM LED will be off.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING
Learn Sensors
You can program up to 10 sensors to the control panel. There are 5 zones on
the control panel, each zone can program up to 2 sensors. Before program-
ming a sensor, you must decide which sensor location (zone number and
sensor number) you would like to program the sensor to. It is strongly recom-
mended that you refer to “Sensor Location Selection Guide” before deciding
which sensor location you would like to program the new sensors to. Some
features you may need to consider are: 1) Beep/Alarm setting, 2) auto mute, 3)
alert zone , 4) event trigger. Explanation for each feature can be found in the
following pages in Advanced Programming:
1. Beep/Alarm Setting - Page 26
2. Auto Mute - Page 29
3. Alert Zone - Page 30
4. Event Trigger - Page 42
Sensor Location Selection Guide
You can program up to 10 sensors to the control panel. There are 5 zones and
maximum 2 sesnors per zone. The 4 features mentioned above are Zone
dependent features meaning both sensors in that zone will operate based on
the setting for that zone. So if you program 2 sensors into one zone, those 2
sensors will react in the same manner for those zone dependent features. For
example, if you enable the Auto-Mute feature for zone 1, both zone 1 sensor 1,
and zone 1 sensor 2 will have this feature enabled. It is not possible to enable a
zone dependent feature for sensor 1 only, but not sensor 2.
Therefore, the followings are some suggestions of how you should select the
sensor location.
1. Check all the zone dependent features, and determine if you would like to
enable any one of them.
2. If you decide not to enable any zone dependent features and keep the
factory default setting, you can simply program the sensor to any sensor
location based on your own preference. Omit the following steps and
proceed to "Learn Sensor - Continue".
3. If you decide to enable some of the zone dependent features, check Table C
below. Circle the zone dependent feature selections. If there are features
that you would like to enable for more than 2 sensors, you need to select
more than one zone for those features.

REMOTE LOCATION
Follow the instructions below to erase keychain or keypad remotes / receivers.
When sensor failure occurs, try the following:
1. Check if the sensor is located at where it should be, and whether there is any
physical damage to the sensor.
2. If the failed sensor is not physically damaged, try to activate the sensor and see
if the control panel reacts to such activation.
3. If not, try to remove the sensor from its location, and bring it closer to control
panel and activate the sensor. It is possible that the sensor is installed too far
from the control panel and it cannot establish a steady communication with the
control panel. If this is the case, please install the sensor closer to the control
panel.
Low Battery
Control Panel
The control panel is powered mainly by the adapter. However, during power outage,
it will be powered by the 4 AAA backup batteries. Under standby conditions, these
batteries can last for 48 hours.
When the backup batteries are running low, the “LO BATT” LED on the control
panel will be on, indicating you should replace the backup batteries. Ensure all 4
batteries are replaced altogether at the same time. After replacing the batteries,
the “LO BATT” LED should be off, indicating the backup batteries are in good
operating condition.
Sensors
All of the sensors are battery powered. Depending on the operating condition and
environment, the battery life varies from 9 months to 2 years. 9V alkaline battery is
used for the motion sensor, the battery life is approximately 9 months. Door /
Window Sensor operates on a Lithium CR-2032 battery, with battery life of approxi-
mately 2 years.

the following instructions carefully. You should also notify all the persons you will
be calling so they know how to react when they receive the emergency call.
The control panel will call you when there are emergencies such as break-ins,
smoke, fire events, or someone at home needs assistance.
1. When the phone rings at the calling location, the person who answers the
phone will hear a message related to the emergency events, such as
“System Panic”, or “Zone 1 Sensor 1 Triggered” etc. This message may be
repeated several times depending on how it was programmed.
2. After the message has been repeated for
a certain number of times, the control panel
will ask for a valid password, you will hear
“Enter Password”.
3. Enter the 4-digit password to have access
to the control panel. If a valid password is
accepted, you will hear “Password Accepted”,
otherwise, you will hear “Password Failure”.
4. After entering the correct password, you
can follow the “Phone Command” instruc-
tions to perform the required tasks, such
as disarm, turn on / off devices or check the
system status etc. For further information
of how to control the system remotely,

Alert Zone (Bypass Zone)
As explained earlier, the control panel can operate in 2 different modes, 1) Alert
Mode, 2) Alarm Mode. In alarm mode, when a sensor is triggered, the control
panel will either give a 30 seconds entry delay, or siren will sound immediately
(with instant alarm). However, there are sensors that you do not want to trigger
the alarm when the system is armed. Such as an outdoor sensor, or any other
sensors that you only want to give you alert notification. Under such circum-
stances, zone(s) can be programed to react only when the control panel is in
alert mode, these zones will be automatically bypassed when the control panel
is in alarm mode. These zones can also be considered as "Bypass zones".
It is recommend to enable alert zone if:
- You do not consider the sensors in that zone an emergency
- Sensors in that zone are located outdoors
- When nobody is home, you do not want to know the status of the sensor(s) in
that zone
Factory Default: This feature was disabled for all zones at the factory.

Remote Operation by Telephone
The control panel can be operated while you are away from home. You can
have access to the control panel with any touch tone phone to perform a variety
of operations, listed below.
- Arm
- Disarm
- Lights, Home Applicances on / off (Requires additonal Control Module)
- Garage door open / close (Requires additional Garage Door Receiver)
- System status

There are 2 ways you can have access to the remote phone operation:
1. You can call the control panel when you are away from home; or
2. When the control panel calls you during emergency.
COMMUNICATION
To access the control panel away from home
Calling in when you are away from home
1. Call your home phone number, or the number that the phone line of the control
panel is connected to.
2. Hang up after the second ring.
3. Wait at least 10 seconds, but not more than 40 seconds, then call the phone
number again.
4. The control panel will pick up the phone call and request for a valid user
password, you will hear “Enter Password”. You can enter either the Master
Password or Secondary Password. If the password is correct, you will hear
“Password Accepted”, otherwise, you will hear “Password Failure”.
5. Once the password is accepted, you can have access to all the operations
listed below.

ADVANCED PROGRAMMING
Auto Mute
When a sensor is triggered in alert mode, audio warning will be emitted, either
beep or alarm. For example, if a door is opened, the beep will not stop until the
door is closed. If the door is open for 2 hours, the beep will go on for 2 hours.
There are times that this is not desired. With the auto mute feature enabled, the
beep will go on for only 20 seconds. After that, even if the sensor remains open,
the beep will stop only the zone LED will flash to indicate the sensor is triggered.
Beep will go on again if the sensor is closed and opened again.
Note: Auto Mute only functions when the control panel is in alert mode (disarmed).
If the control panel is in alarm mode (armed), a triggered sensor will result in
entry delay or instant alarm.
Factory Default: This feature was disabled for all zones at the factory.
To enable auto mute feature, follow the instructions below.

Beep / Alarm
User can customize the audio warning so that when a sensor is triggered, the
control panel may beep or alarm may sound instantly. Depending on whether the
control panel is armed or disarmed, the audio warning is different.
System Disarmed (Alert Mode)
If a zone is set to “Beep”, the control panel will beep when a sensor is triggered,
until the sensor is deactivated. Motion Sensor will beep for 20 seconds for every
detected movement.
If a zone is set to “Alarm”, alarm will sound instantly when a sensor is triggered.
Alarm will stop when the sensor is deactivated, or reaches a 3-minute time out period.
System Armed (Alarm Mode)
If a zone is set to “Beep”, the control panel will give entry / exit delay.
If a zone is set to “Alarm”, the siren will sound immediately without entry delay
- Alarm Mode (System Armed): If a sensor is triggered (i.e. opening a door) with
the alarm setting on, the siren will sound immediately without entry delay, it is
called “Instant Alarm”. The siren will not stop until the siren timeout or a valid
password is entered. Control panel will call the emergency phone numbers to
notify the users of the alarm situation.
When a sensor is triggered, there are 4 options:
ZONE SETTING
OPERATING MODE
BEEP
ALARM
Disarmed (Alert)
1) Beep
2) Alarm sounds immediately
Armed (Alarm)
3) Entry / Exit Delay
4) Alarm sounds and calls
preprogrammed phone
numbers immediately
Factory Default: All zones were programmed to Beep at the factory.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING
You may consider to programming the zone(s) into Alarm mode if:
- You need immediate attention if that sensor is triggered, such as flood sensor,
smoke sensor etc.
- The sensor will not be triggered on a daily basis, such as a door that you
normally will not open, and if it opens, you would like to know immediately.
–27–
Caution:
It is not recommended to program an outdoor sensor to Alarm mode, which may cause
false alarm. For outdoor sensors, they should be programmed into an Alert Zone,
please refer to page 30 for details.
