READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
Your console's telephone dialer is de-
signed to conform to federal regula-
tions, and you can connect it to most
telephone lines. However, each tele-
phone or telephone device that you
connect to the telephone line draws
power from the telephone line. We re-
fer to this power draw as the device's
ringer equivalence number, or REN.
The REN is on the bottom of the con-
sole.
In the unlikely event that your security
console dialer causes problems on the
phone line, the phone company can
temporarily discontinue your service.
If this happens, the phone company at-
tempts to notify you in advance.
If advance notice is not practical, the
phone company notifies you as soon
as possible and advises you of your
right to file a complaint with the FCC.
If you use more than one telephone or
other device on the line, add up all the
RENs. If the total is more than five,
your telephones might not ring. In rural
areas, a total REN of three might im-
pair ringer operation. If ringer opera-
tion is impaired, remove one of the
devices from the line.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-
tions, or procedures that could affect
the operation of this telephone. The
telephone company notifies you of
these changes in advance, so you can
take the necessary steps to prevent in-
terruption of your telephone service.
Note: You must not connect your con-
sole to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key telephone
systems
Your console's telephone dialer com-
plies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You
must, upon request, provide the FCC
registration number and the REN to
your telephone company. Both num-
bers are on the bottom of the console.

GLOSSARY
Here are a few terms that will be help-
ful to understand as you read this man-
ual.
Instant Mode — A way of arming the
system so the alarm immediately trips
if a wireless sensor transmitter set to
INSTANT or the motion detector reports
an intrusion.
Arm and Disarm — Terms for on and
off. When you arm the system, you
turn on protection. Disarming the sys-
tem turns off protection.
Note: The keychain remote control
only arms the system in the instant
mode.
Away Mode — Your system’s armed
mode when all sensors (including mo-
tion detectors) are armed.
Motion Detector — Senses motion by
detecting a change in temperature
when an intruder walks across its path.
Console — The system’s main control
panel.
Remote Control — A device that lets
you arm and disarm the system away
from the console.
Entry/Exit Delay — A setting on the
hand-held remote control that allows
you time while entering and exiting
your house before the system arms or
the alarm trips.
Violation — An alarm condition, such
as that caused by an opened door or
window, detected by a sensor.
Home Mode — The system’s armed
mode when only doors and windows
are armed (not motion detectors). This
prevents you from accidentally tripping
the motion detector(s) yourself as you
move around the house.
Wireless Sensor Transmitter — Trig-
gers the alarm when a secured door or
window opens.
Zone — The area protected by a wire-
less sensor transmitter, a motion de-
tector, or other sensing/transmitting
device.

PLANNING YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM
Before you set up your system, make a
security plan of your home. This is es-
pecially important if you install multiple
sensors to protect several different
zones.
To help accomplish these goals, you
should:
• Post decals on doors and win-
dows stating that your home is
protected by a security system.
Decals (Cat. No. 49-507) are
available at your local RadioShack
store.
Even if you only install the supplied
sensors, take time to think about the
best location for them. If you live in an
upstairs apartment, the front door
might be the best place to mount a
wireless sensor transmitter. If you live
in a house or downstairs apartment,
you might want to cover a back door
and/or window.
• Choose a location for the console
where it is not easily accessible or
seen by intruders.
In addition, most police departments
offer information that might be helpful.
After making a preliminary plan, con-
tact your local police department to
see if they offer guidelines or other ser-
vices for planning a home security sys-
tem.
Start by drawing a simple floorplan of
your home, which you can use through
all stages of planning your system.
Your security system has three goals:
• to prevent loss by discouraging
potential intruders
• to scare intruders away before
they can take your property or
break into your home
• to alert you or others that some-
one is breaking into your home

ASSIGNING SECURITY
CODES
REASSIGNING
SECURITY CODES
A security zone is an area of protection
covered by a single wireless sensor
transmitter, motion detector, or other
sensing/transmitting device. Your se-
curity console monitors up to 16 zones
and alerts you if there is a violation
(see “Zone Indicators” on Page 27).
If you want to remove one accessory,
reassign an accessory to a zone cur-
rently in use, or add an accessory
when all zones are assigned, you must
completely reinitialize the entire sys-
tem.
To reinitialize the system, unplug the
console and remove its battery back-
up. The console loses all stored codes.
Then reinitialize all remote controls,
wireless sensor transmitters, and mo-
tion detectors, assigning each acces-
sory to the desired zone.
When you initialize your security sys-
tem’s sensors, the console assigns a
zone number to the sensor (see “Ini-
tializing the Wireless Sensor Transmit-
ters” on Page 13). The system
includes numbered stickers you attach
to each sensor to show its zone num-
ber. For your reference, make a record
of which area of your home a zone
covers. For example, using the floor-
plan you drew, you could mark the
front door as “Zone 1.”

MOUNTING ACCESSORIES
are hidden from view or easily
accessible (including basement
windows).
MOUNTING THE
WIRELESS SENSOR
TRANSMITTERS
Note: The supplied sensor and
magnetic switch are already con-
nected. If the wire is too long, you
can shorten it by cutting it to the
length required, stripping the
ends, and re-connecting it to the
magnetic switch.
You can install any combination of
wireless sensor transmitters (Cat. No.
49-2585) and motion detectors (Cat.
No. 49-2589), in up to 16 zones.
Follow these steps to mount each wire-
less sensor transmitter.
3. Remove the sensor’s batteries
and attach it to the wall using the
supplied screws, or use double-
sided mounting tape (Cat. No. 64-
2361).
1. Set the DELAY
switch on the
wireless sensor
transmitter to MIN
to protect a win-
dow or to MAX to
protect a door.
First attach the sensor’s back
cover to the wall, then slide the
sensor onto the cover. Replace
the batteries (if you removed
them) and close the battery com-
partment door.
Note: The MAX
setting allows
you to arm a sen-
sor with a 60-
second exit delay
and a 30-second
entry delay (see
“Instant/Delay
Mode” on Page
26).
4. Align the arrows on the switch and
magnet, and install the switch and
magnet using the supplied screws
or double-sided mounting tape.
When set to MIN, the sensor
immediately triggers the alarm
when a window opens, even if you
armed the system in the delay
mode.
2. Select a location for the wireless
sensor transmitter. We recom-
mend that you purchase enough
sensors to protect the front and
back door and any windows that

• Do not mount the magnet
directly onto a metal surface. If
necessary, use a wood or plas-
tic spacer.
• For sliding doors/windows, it is
best to mount the magnet and
switch at the bottom of the win-
dow. This way, the magnet will
make a “clean break” from the
switch when the window is
opened.
• The RadioShack Wireless Sen-
sor Transmitter (Cat. No. 49-
2585) has an NC magnetic
switch and is compatible with
your security console.
MOUNTING THE MOTION
DETECTOR
5. Open the door or window. The
light on the sensor turns on each
time you open the door or window.
Motion detectors are designed to de-
tect motion in a specific area of your
home. For example, you might want to
protect the area around a stereo sys-
tem, jewelry box, or wall safe.
Repeat Steps 1–5 for any additional
sensors you want to install (in up to 16
zones).

The supplied motion detector can
“see” up to a distance of about 40 feet
with a 90 degree field of view. It can be
placed up to about 100 feet away from
the console.
Secure the bracket to the detector’s
bottom using the supplied machine
screw. Then secure the bracket to the
wall. Finally, loosen the screw on the
hinge and adjust the detector to be lev-
el, then tighten the screw to hold the
detector in position.

Looking at the back of the motion de-
tector, set the switch on the left side to
1 (most sensitive) or 2 (less sensitive).
When set to 1, the motion detector trips
the alarm if any movement is detected.
When set to 2, the motion detector
must detect two movements or contin-
uous movement within a short time be-
fore it trips the alarm (this makes it less
sensitive to pets).
To use the tape, place it over the lower
zones of the detector’s lens.
TESTING THE MOTION
DETECTOR
The motion detector includes a special
test mode. Follow these steps to test
the motion detector.
1. Set the sensitivity switch on the
back of the motion detector to 1.
2. Hold down TEST on the back of
the motion detector until the indi-
cator on the front flashes twice.
MAKING A PET ZONE
If you have a pet, you can help reduce
the chance the pet will cause a false
alarm by blocking the motion detec-
tor’s lower zones with the supplied
piece of masking tape.

feet), check that the detector is
horizontal and at a height of at
least 5 feet from the ground.
• The motion detector automati-
cally switches back to normal
operation after 2 minutes in the
test mode. If you want to switch it
back sooner, press the TEST but-
ton.
To test the alarm, arm the console and
wait about 45 seconds. Then walk in
front of the motion detector and check
that the alarm is triggered.
After the motion detector triggers the
alarm, it automatically “locks out” for
about 45 seconds to save battery pow-
er.

SETTING UP THE TELEPHONE DIALER
The telephone dialer dials a friend or
neighbor (for example) and plays a
message in the following situations:
• If the person tries to call you after
the console has already begun
dialing other numbers, the caller
hears a busy signal.
• when you press PANIC on the
hand-held remote control with the
system armed
• About 75 seconds after the lis-
tener presses a number, the alarm
resumes for 2–3 minutes.
• when you press ARM and DISARM
together on the keychain remote
control with the system armed
• The console continues dialing and
repeating its message until it gets
a response. If it receives no
response within 4 minutes, the
alarm stops and the console stops
dialing.
• when a wireless sensor transmit-
ter or motion detector connected
to the system reports a violation
while the system is armed
• To stop the console from dialing
before 4 minutes have passed,
pick up any phone on the same
line. After you hear the first ring of
the number currently being dialed,
press 0. Stay on the line to speak
to whomever answers, and wait 2
minutes (for the console to
release the phone line) before
pressing any other keys on the
remote control or console or
attempting to dial another number.
When the console plays its message,
the person contacted can press any
number on a touch-tone phone and
listen-in to your home to determine
the problem. The alarm stops when
the person contacted presses a but-
ton on the phone.
If no one answers at the number called
within about 48 seconds, or if someone
answers but does not press a number,
the console calls the next number (up
to four phone numbers).
SETTING UP PHONE
NUMBERS
Notes:
• If the person you choose to accept
calls from your system does not
have touch-tone service, they can
use a touch-tone pocket dialer,
such as Cat. No. 43-145 or 43-
146.
Notes:
• You should program the console
to call a friend, relative or neigh-
bor who can listen-in to your home
to determine if there is a real prob-
lem. The person can then call the
police if necessary, or call you
back to see if everything is fine.

OPERATION
Arm Away/Arm Home
ARMING/DISARMING
THE SYSTEM
All wireless sensor transmitters and
motion detectors arm when you press
ARM AWAY on the handheld remote
control. If you press ARM HOME, only
doors and windows arm. This lets you
arm the system at night without acci-
dentally tripping the motion detector(s)
yourself when you move around the
house.
You can arm the system three ways:
• Set INSTALL/RUN 1/RUN 2 on the
console to RUN 1 or RUN 2 and
press ARM on the console.
• Set INSTALL/RUN 1/RUN 2 on the
console to RUN 1 or RUN 2 and
press ARM AWAY or ARM HOME
on the handheld remote control.
See “Arm Away/Arm Home” and
“Instant/Delay Mode.”
• Set INSTALL/RUN 1/RUN 2 on the
console to RUN 1 or RUN 2 and
press ARM on the keychain
remote control.
The only difference between RUN 1
and RUN 2 is that when the system is
set to RUN 2 and not armed, the con-
sole sounds a pleasant chime when
you open a door or window. When it is
set to RUN 1, there are no chimes.
Instant/Delay Mode
The ENTRY switch on the handheld re-
mote control lets you arm the system
with or without an exit/entry delay.
The console beeps once when you
arm it. When the system is armed, the
RUN 1 and RUN 2 setting have the
same effect: opening a door or window
with a sensor attached or tripping a
motion detector sets off the alarm.
With ENTRY on the handheld remote
set to INSTANT (and DELAY on the sen-
sor(s) set to MIN), the system instantly
arms and the alarm immediately trips if
a wireless sensor transmitter or motion
detector reports an intrusion.
To disarm the system, press DISARM
on any remote control. The console
beeps twice.
With ENTRY on the handheld remote
set to DELAY, you have a 60-second
exit delay and a 30-second entry delay
before the system arms or trips. A
warning chime sounds during the de-
lay period.

Notes:
USING THE PANIC
ALARM
• The supplied motion detector
(Cat. No. 49-2589) only operates
in the INSTANT mode.
Pressing PANIC on the handheld re-
mote control, or ARM and DISARM at
the same time on the keychain remote
control, causes the console’s alarm to
sound, even if the system is not armed.
If you want to use the exit/entry
delay feature, you can use
another motion detector (Cat. No.
61-2614) instead of the one sup-
plied with this system. However,
the ARM HOME feature might not
work.
Note: The telephone dialer does not
dial out unless the system is armed.
• You must set the switch inside the
wireless sensor transmitter’s bat-
tery compartment to MAX in order
for it to arm in the delay mode.
When set to MIN, the sensor
immediately arms, regardless of
whether the handheld remote con-
trol is set to DELAY or INSTANT.
ZONE INDICATORS
All sensors and motion detectors re-
port to the console about every 90 min-
utes. If the console does not receive a
signal from a sensor within 4 hours, it
reports a problem with that sensor by
slowly flashing its zone indicator.
• The ARM button on the console
automatically arms the system in
the DELAY mode.
• The keychain remote control only
arms the system in the INSTANT
mode.
• Other
separately
purchased
remote controls might arm the
system only in either the DELAY or
INSTANT mode. See the remote
control’s owner’s manual.
The console’s zone status indicators
show four conditions for Zones 1–8.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack Wireless Home Security System is an example of superior de-
sign and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your se-
curity system so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the console and accessories dry. If they gets wet, wipe them dry
immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the elec-
tronic circuits.
Use and store the console and accessories only in normal tempera-
ture environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of elec-
tronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the console and accessories away from dust and dirt, which can
cause premature wear of parts.
Handle the console and accessories gently and carefully. Dropping
them can damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the console
and system to work improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your system’s electronic
parts.
Wipe the console and accessories with a damp cloth occasionally to
keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or
strong detergents to clean the console or any accessories.
Modifying or tampering with the console’s or accessories’ internal components
can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and void your FCC au-
thorization to operate the system. If your console is not performing as it should,
take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance. If the trouble is affecting the
telephone lines, the phone company can ask you to disconnect your console sys-
tem until you have resolved the problem.

After you replace the remote control’s
batteries, re-initialize the remote con-
trol as described in “Installing the Key-
chain Remote Control” on page 11 or
“Installing the Handheld Remote Con-
trol” on page 12.
REPLACING THE
CONSOLE’S BATTERY
The console’s backup battery allows
the system to work during a power out-
age. A 9-volt alkaline battery provides
at least 12 hours of backup. BATTERY
LOW lights on the console when you
need to replace the backup battery, but
you should replace the battery at least
once a year.
Note: When you press a button on the
keychain remote, BATTERY lights to
show the battery is good.
After replacing batteries, follow these
steps to confirm that the console still
recognizes the remote control.
Do not unplug the console from AC
power when you replace the battery.
Otherwise, the console loses all mem-
ory of the installed wireless sensor
transmitters, motion detectors and re-
mote controls, and the voice message
and stored numbers. You must then
set the INSTALL/RUN 1/RUN 2 switch on
the console to INSTALL, re-record your
emergency message, re-program
emergency numbers, and then re-in-
stall all the wireless sensor transmit-
ters, motion detectors and remote
controls.
1. Set INSTALL/RUN 1/RUN 2 on the
console to RUN 2.
2. Press ARM on the remote control.
If the system arms, the console recog-
nized the remote control.
If the system did not arm:
1. Set INSTALL/RUN 1/RUN
2
to
INSTALL.
2. Press ARM on the remote control.
The remote control transmits a
random code to the console. The
console acknowledges this with a
chime and logs in the remote con-
trol. If you do not hear a chime,
press CODE with a pencil and then
press ARM.
REPLACING A
REMOTE’S BATTERIES
If the console does not respond to a re-
mote control’s signal, replace the bat-
teries in the remote control’s battery
compartment, according to the polarity
symbols (+ and –) marked inside the
compartment.

TRANSMITTER’S
SENSOR BATTERIES
To avoid this, remove the sensor’s old
battery and wait at least 4 hours before
installing the new one. This ensures
that the sensor is assigned to its origi-

If any of the console’s zone indicators
flash slowly, the wireless sensor trans-

the console still recognizes it.
Intercom systems which send voice
signals over existing electrical wiring
might interfere with the ability to control
modules from your security system

FCC CAUTIONS
LIGHTNING
This equipment generates and uses
radio frequency energy, and if not in-
stalled and used properly, that is, in
strict accordance with the manufactur-
er’s instructions, may cause interfer-
ence to radio and television reception.
Your security console dialer has built-
in protection circuits to reduce the risk
of damage from surges in telephone
line and power line current. These pro-
tection circuits meet or exceed the
FCC requirements. However, lightning
striking the telephone or power lines
can damage your console dialer.
It has been type tested and found to
comply with the limits for remote con-
trol security devices in accordance
with the specifications in Part 15 of
FCC Rules, which are designed to pro-
vide reasonable protection against
such interference in a residential in-
stallation. However, there is no guar-
antee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation.
Lightning damage is not common.
Nevertheless, if you live in an area that
has severe electrical storms, we sug-
gest that you unplug your console and
rely on its battery power during storms
to reduce the possibility of damage.
If this equipment does cause interfer-
ence to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by unplug-
ging the equipment, the user is encour-
aged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following mea-
sures.
• Reorient the antenna of the radio/
TV experiencing the interference.
• 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, contact your local Ra-
dioShack store for additional sugges-
tions.
