OverviewLIFESHIELD HOME SECURITY INTRODUCTION [www.LifeShield.com][1]Your LifeShield Home Security system creates a virtual grid that blankets your home with a safe, secure, wireless grid network. The components that create the wireless grid are known as Grid Controllers (GCs) and include the Base, Console, and the Grid Extender. These componentsall wirelessly communicate with each other, as well as with Sensors and Keychain Remotes within their coverage area. Typically, the wireless coverage area isapproximately 30 feet from a GC. Refer to Figure 1 for an illustration of the system components.You'll enjoy the best coverage and redundancy if each GC is located in a different room in your home, and on an interior wall. GCs can also be located in detachedgarages or sheds in close proximity to your home. For alarm monitoring subscribers, the LifeShield Home Security system will send a message to the Alarm Monitoring Center if an alarm occurs (your system is armed,a Sensor detects activity such as a door being opened, and no disarm code is entered).Performance ConsiderationsIf your home has interior walls made of stone or concrete or has walls which contain metal studs, this may affect the communications between the GCs, Sensors,and/or Keychain Remotes. During the installation process, you can test two-way communications to each GC and Sensor to minimize the impact of these factors.Adding additional Grid Extenders may help improve performance.Backup CommunicationsAlthough not required, the LifeShield system allows you to connect phone lines to your Base, Consoles and Grid Extenders. This provides an additional layer of communication redundancy should your broadband be out of service.If you subscribe to alarm monitoring, it is recommended that you run a communication test once a month to ensure proper communication with the Alarm Monitoring Center.As with all digital phones, noise factors can be reduced by considering where you use and place the phone. Using the Handset or Console near other wireless sources,including microwave ovens, can affect performance.Base (GC)Grid Extender (GC)Sensor/Magnet Console (GC)Keychain RemoteHandset/ChargerFigure 1.

When at the main display, the labels indicate, from left to right, PHNBK and MENU.(Refer to Figure 4)The keys are referred to as softkeys because they change based on the system menufunction selected. At the main display PHNBK provides access to your phone book andMENU provides access to menus for controlling and configuring your system. On the left side of the Console these same softkeys exist. The Console also has keysfor direct menu access to Home Connect (CONNCT), Weather Alerts (WEATHR) andHome Alerts (ALERTS) functions. These keys may not be enabled with every servicepackage; see your service plan description. (Refer to Figure 5)Line 1 Display:Typically, the first line provides information related to security status, such as “Ready to Arm” or “Armed Away.”Line 2 Display:Typically, the second line provides information related to system status, such as “Sensor Open.” If the status is normal, thenthe second line will display the date and time.Line 3 Display:Typically, the third line provides information related to your phone system. When not in use, it displays the number of missedphone calls (Calls:) and the number of messages (Msg:) in your answering system.Handset ICONs:The display also provides icons in the lower left hand corner indicating the remaining battery power and if you have a Home Alert message.

Installing the Siren DetectorINSTALLING YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM [www.LifeShield.com][27]Siren Detector ContentsSDC1000 Siren Detector #6 Screw (2) and Wall Anchor (2)CR2450 BatteryIntroductionSiren Detectors operate in tandem with existing home hazard detectors. A “hazard detector” is a device which monitorsthe home environment for the existence of a hazard condition, such as smoke, fire or carbon monoxide. Hazard detectors utilize internal electronics to sample the surrounding air and monitor for conditions that indicate the occurrence of the targeted hazard. If a hazard condition is sensed, the device typically responds with a visual and/or siren alert.LifeShield Siren Detectors operate differently. LifeShield Siren Detectors are designed to monitor for the occurrence ofsiren sounds coming from a nearby hazard detector. When they detect the siren sound of a hazard detector (located no morethan 4 inches away) and the sound meets certain pre-determined audio requirements, the Siren Detector will report thisevent back to the LifeShield system. Upon receiving the siren detection message, the LifeShield system will sound an audioalert on all pre-programmed audio alert devices and (if the LifeShield system is actively monitored under a current serviceplan and is connected to an operating telecommunications circuit) will send a corresponding message to the monitoring center. This message will be based upon the type of hazard detector for which the siren detector has been configured("Fire/Smoke" or "Both" setting - a fire alarm message will be sent, "Carbon Monoxide" - a carbon monoxide message willbe sent).

INSTALLING YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM[www.LifeShield.com] [28]Installing the Siren DetectorInstalling Your LifeShield Siren DetectorPrior to adding a Siren Detector it is necessary to first install and activate your LifeShield system and to have a Handset and/orConsole available for use in the Siren Detector installation process.Select the “Target” Hazard Detector(s)Choose which existing hazard detector(s) in your home you would like to have monitored. NOTE: Siren Detectors are designedto be mounted within 4 inches of an existing hazard detector and may not operate properly if mounted farther away.Remove the Siren Detector BracketTurn the Siren Detector over and press the Bracket release tab while gently pulling the bracket away from the device. IF HAZARD DETECTORS ARE INTERCONNECTED WITHIN APROTECTED PREMISES, ONEHAZARD DETECTOR MAY SOUNDITS SIREN BASED UPON A SIGNAL RECEIVED FROM ANOTHER INTERCONNECTEDHAZARD DETECTOR. IN THISMANNER, ONE SIREN DETECTORMAY BE USEFUL FOR MONITOR-ING HAZARDS REPORTED BYMORE THAN ONE HAZARD DETECTOR. DETERMINE IF ONE OR MOREHAZARD DETECTORS ARE INTERCONNECTED BY PRESSINGAND HOLDING THE TEST BUTTONON ONE HAZARD DETECTOR FORAT LEAST 30 SECONDS. IFSIRENS ON OTHER HAZARD DETECTORS SOUND DURINGTHIS TEST, THESE OTHER HAZARD DETECTORS ARE INTERCONNECTED. IF HAZARDDETECTORS IN THE PROTECTEDPREMISES ARE NOT INTERCON-NECTED, A SIREN DETECTOR ISREQUIRED FOR EACH EXISTINGHAZARD DETECTOR IN THE PROTECTED PREMISES THATNEEDS TO BE MONITORED. THE USE OF AT LEAST TWO (2)INDIVIDUAL SIREN DETECTORS(MONITORING TWO INDIVIDUALHAZARD DETECTORS) ISSTRONGLY RECOMMENDED, REGARDLESS OF THE EXISTINGHAZARD DETECTOR INSTALLATION TYPE.!THE LIFESHIELD MODEL SDC1000 SIREN DETECTOR DOES NOT DETECT THE EXISTENCE OF HAZARDS SUCH AS FIRE, SMOKE, OR CARBON MONOX-IDE. INSTEAD, IT MONITORS FOR AND DETECTS THE SOUND OF HAZARD DETECTOR SIRENS THAT FEATURE ALL FOUR OF THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS: 1. ARE LOCATED WITHIN 4 INCHES OF THE SIREN DETECTOR, 2. ARE MANUFACTURED IN THE LAST 10 YEARS IN ACCORDANCEWITH UL985 INDUSTRY STANDARDS, 3. CREATE SOUND VOLUME OF AT LEAST 85 DBA AT 10 FEET AT 3000 HZ, AND 4. SOUND FOR AT LEAST 20CONTINUOUS SECONDS. WHILE MOST HAZARD DETECTORS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS, SIREN DETECTOR USERSARE EXPECTED TO SUCCESSFULLY TEST THE SIREN DETECTOR TOGETHER WITH THE HAZARD DETECTOR AT LEAST TWICE PER YEAR. IF A SIREN DETECTORDOES NOT SUCCESSFULLY RESPOND TO A HAZARD DETECTOR SIREN DURING A TEST, IT MUST NOT BE RELIED UPON TO DETECT A SIREN DURING AN ACTUALHAZARD CONDITION. THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA) RECOMMENDS REPLACEMENT OF HAZARD DETECTORS THAT ARE 10 YEARS (ORMORE) OLD SINCE THE INTERNAL ELECTRONICS MAY NO LONGER RELIABLY DETECT HAZARDS. USERS ARE EXPECTED TO REPLACE HAZARD DETECTOR BATTERIES AT LEAST ONCE PER YEAR SO THAT THE ELECTRONICS (INCLUDING THE SIREN) OPERATEPROPERLY DURING A HAZARD CONDITION.THE SIREN DETECTOR MUST BE SUCCESSFULLY TESTED (TOGETHER WITH THE HAZARD DETECTOR) AT LEAST TWICE PER YEAR. A LOW BATTERY OR OTHERCONDITION CHANGES MAY CAUSE POOR PERFORMANCE OF THE HAZARD DETECTOR AND/OR SIREN DETECTOR.ONCE SIREN DETECTORS ARE INSTALLED, TESTING THE SIRENS WITH EXISTING HAZARD DETECTORS MAY RESULT IN A FIRE OR CARBON MONOXIDE MESSAGE BEING SENT TO THE MONITORING CENTER, RESULTING IN AN EMERGENCY DISPATCH TO YOUR PREMISES. THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS TO AVOID THIS SITUATION:OPTION A. TEMPORARILY DISABLE THE MONITORING OF YOUR SYSTEM THROUGH YOUR LIFESHIELD WEB ACCOUNT PRIOR TO TESTING THE HAZARD DETECTORS. RE-ENABLE MONITORING AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLETED TESTING.OPTION B.
