GENERAL RF DISCLAIMER 

Due to the varying range of wireless systems, Visonic and its partners are not held liable if the system does not 
receive or process the RF transmitted communications signals as specified. Radio Waves pass through wood and 
plastic with very little attenuation (loss of signal strength). The same radio waves pass through concrete, earth and 
living matter with greater loss of signal strength and reflect off of metal. To better ensure the reception, initial and 
regular range testing procedures must be followed. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. 

CUSTOMER PREMISES EQUIPMENT AND WIRING 

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a 
telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of 
RENs should not exceed five. To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the 
total RENs, contact the local telephone company. The REN of an alarm system is part of the product identifier that has the 
format US:VSOAL00BAMBERNA.

Note:

 For whole house

install a filter. It is 
suggested to use the 
DSL alarm filter model 
Z-A431PJ31X manu-
factured by Excelsus 
Technologies, or 
equivalent. This filter 
simply plugs into the 
RJ-31X jack and 
allows alarm reporting 
without breaking the 
internet connection.
