Note: When LED 1 is on this indicates more than one cellular tower within range.
If you cannot obtain a signal strength reading of 2 (TWO LEDS ON SOLID), you will probably need to
move the unit and/or remote antenna higher, or switch to a special antenna as described below.

Antenna issues are unlikely unless the premises are located in a fringe network coverage area, in a
building below ground level, or in a metal structure. Telguard offers a variety of high quality low loss
antenna cables as well as high gain antennas listed in Appendix 4.

ONNECTION
Connect alarm panel and Telco line to the Telguard. Plug the modular jack of the alarm panel into
the black jack of the Telguard and the incoming Telco connection into gray jack. Trip a zone on the
alarm panel and transmit over the Telco line. This step is important to verify the panel is
programmed with valid account code and central station information before transmitting signals
through the cellular network.

ETWORK
Confirm that the Telguard enables the alarm panel to transmit alarm events over the cellular radio
network. The Telguard will confirm activation with the TCC if the registration form was submitted
prior to installation. Make sure that there is no Telco connection for the panel to use, and trip a
zone on the alarm panel. During processing of the first alarm signal over the cellular network the
Telguard will transmit all programming parameters along with the information (central station
number and account code) from the alarm panel. Once this information is received, the TCC will
transmit a message back indicating that the unit is activated. Once this message is received the
LEDs on the unit will begin operating in normal mode; Activation LED 1 will be on.
The initial alarm is to confirm registration and activate the Telguard. This alarm will NOT be
transmitted to the central station.
