Installation Steps
1.
Plug the MXD3G power cube into an AC
power outlet that is not controlled by a light
switch. (Figure 5)
2.
The MXD3G will automatically turn on and
announce “System Initializing.”
When first installed, the unit will speak
the signal strength, usually followed by
either
“Cell Module not activated”
or
“Insufficient Cell Service.”
If the MXD3G
has been previously activated, the
message
“[number]
bars,
System
Ready”
will be heard instead.
Note:
These initial messages occur due to
delays in transmitting data back and
forth during the first activation, and do
not mean that something is wrong
with the MXD3G. Continue with the
following steps.
If the unit announces,
“Cell module not
activated”
when the unit is first plugged
in to AC power, wait about 15-20
seconds for the unit to finish its setup
process. The STATUS indicator should
show a steady green light (Figure 6).
When this occurs, push the RESET
button. After a few seconds the unit
should announce
“[number] bars,
system ready.”
If the unit again announces,
“Cell
Module not activated,”
please contact
your service provider for assistance.
3.
If the MXD again announces,
“Insufficient Cell Service,”
please relocate the base unit to another
place in the residence and plug it into a nearby AC outlet that is not controlled by a switch. Wait 30
seconds and then press the RESET
button. If the unit continues to announce
“Insufficient Cell
Service,”
try another location and repeat until a strong signal is detected. If you are unable to find a
location in the residence that has sufficient cell service, please contact your service provider.
Note:
It is important that the signal strength be 2.5 bars or better. If the signal strength is not sufficient,
the MXD3G may not activate with the cellular network or function properly.
4.
The Status light located on the left edge of the large HELP button will appear steady green,
indicating that the MXD3G is connected properly and the cellular radio has been activated with the
cellular company.
5.
Test the range of the PHB to make sure it works throughout the home and yard. See
Testing the PHB
(Range Test Mode),
below
.
6.
Initiate your first call to the Response Center by pressing the PHB or the HELP button.
