
Where there is good cellular coverage, if GSM-350 is used

Far from sources of wireless interference, such as:
Computers or other electronic devices, power conductors, cordless phones, light dimmers, etc.
o
Large metal objects (such as metal doors or refrigerators)
o
Note: A distance of at least 1 meter (3 ft) is recommended.
When mounting wireless devices:

Make sure that the signal reception level for each device is either "Strong" or "Good", but not "Poor".

Wireless magnetic contacts should be installed in a vertical position and as high up the door or window as possible.

Note: 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 (5.0).
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.
Connection to telephone company provided coin service is prohibited. Connection to party lines service is subject to state tariffs.
The installer should verify line seizure. Be aware of other phone line services such as DSL. If DSL service is present on the
phone line, you must install a filter. It is suggested to use the DSL alarm filter model Z-A431PJ31X manufactured by
Excelsus Technologies, or equivalent. This filter simply plugs into the RJ-31X jack and allows alarm reporting without
breaking the internet connection.
