Programming Your PIN Number (Option 8) 

The Temperature Guard has a programmable 4-digit PIN number (0000-9999) to access the program 
menu, and to stop the Temperature Guard from making emergency phone calls.  The PIN number must 
be 4 digits and must not include a # sign.

Enabling / Disabling the Temperature and Power Status Message (Option 9)

 

From the factory, the Temperature Guard prompts the caller for the PIN number before allowing the 
caller to hear the current temperature and power status.  This prevents anyone from learning that the 
home is unoccupied.  To have the Temperature Guard report the temperature and power without enter-
ing the PIN, perform the steps below. 

 

1  From the Program Menu, press

sage Before PIN Entry. 

6  You will be automatically returned to the Program Menu
