 Model SC500 User’s Information

INTRODUCTION

The SuperCell

TM

 SC500 is a small transceiver that pro-

vides Emergency Signaling, Alarm Monitoring, Call Back 
and Messaging capability. Emergency Signaling may be 
activated by pressing the Alarm Button or through lack of 
motion if desired. SuperCell

The SuperCell

TM

 is turned ON by simultaneously press-

ing and releasing both side buttons marked PWR. This is 
accompanied by a series of up sweeping audio tones. A 
start-up screen will appear that displays a Grace Indus-
tries  logo
,  under  which is displayed  the  model. (Model 
details may be viewed from a Setup sub-menu also).

After   the logo is briefly displayed the Status Screen ap- 
pears. The top line summarizes the active features, and  
status of such items as low battery warnings for example, 

through  a  series  of  icons,  that  will  be  explained  further  in 
this document.

The  center  of  the  screen  shows  a  large  number  which  is 
countdown  seconds  until  the  alarm  sounds  due  to  lack  of 
motion. Moving the SuperCell

TM

 resets the countdown. The

This is to prevent unintentionally turning the SuperCell

TM

 off 

while clearing alarms.  A message will be displayed on the 
bottom status line indicating that the unit cannot be turned 
off  until  the  alarm  has  been  cleared.  To  force  the  Super-
Cell

TM

 to turn off, even with an active alarm, hold down the 

Up  button,  along  with  the  two  PWR  buttons.    This  could 
be necessary in the case where alarms are coming in from 
unknown or uncontrolled sources.

The SuperCell

TM

 operation is controlled by six side push but-

tons noted in the photo above. The button on the left of the 
SuperCell

TM

 unit is the Mode or Menu button, the button on 

the right is the Select button

Note: The display Backlight is activated for ten seconds with 
each  button  press  or  received  Alarm  message. The  Back-
light  may  be  disabled  in  the  unit  Setup  Menu,  for  covert  
security operations.
