SYSTEM SETUP
To set up your system, follow the steps below.
Step 1
Select Unit Location
If possible, select a central location in your home for the
Unit. This location should be in the area where you
spend most of your time. The location should also
enable an optimal signal reception for pendants and
smoke detectors.
The Unit can be placed on a table, desk, or counter. It
also can be mounted on a wall.
Make sure that the location you have selected is near
an electrical outlet and a phone jack.
Step 2
Connect the Unit to your
Telephone Line (Figures 3a and
3b)

The AMBER SELECT / AMBER SELECT
X
communicates with your Monitoring Center through
your telephone line.
1.
Locate the phone jack on your wall where you want
to connect your AMBER SELECT / AMBER
SELECT
X
. If a phone is already plugged into that
jack, unplug it and connect it to the "PHONE"
connector on the back of the AMBER SELECT /
AMBER SELECT
X
. Your telephone will still function
normally.
2.
Connect the wide end (RJ-45) of the phone cord to
the "Wall Jack" on your AMBER SELECT / AMBER
SELECT
X
. Plug the narrow end (RJ-11) of that
phone cord into the phone jack on your wall. The
AMBER SELECT / AMBER SELECT
X
is now
connected to your telephone line.
Note:
Be aware of other phone line services such as
DSL. If DSL service is present on the phone line, you
must install a filter. See Figures 3a and 3b for proper
installation.
