Caution

instructions. To verify that the equipment is operating properly and can successfully report an alarm, this
equipment must be tested immediately after installation, and periodically thereafter, according to the
testing instruction found in the installation manual.
Caution
– In order for “alarm dialing equipment” to be able to seize the phone line to report an alarm or
other event when other customer equipment (telephone, answering machine, computer modem etc.)
connected to the same phone line is in use, “alarm dialing equipment” must be connected to a properly
installed RJ31X jack. The RJ31X jack must be connected in series with, and ahead of, all other
equipment attached to the same phone line. Series installation of an RJ31X jack is depicted in the figure
below. If you have any questions concerning these instructions, you should consult your telephone
company or a qualified installer about installing the necessary jack and alarm dialing equipment for you.
