location.
1.5 Dip Switches and Their Functions:
There are seven dip switches on the back of the unit. They are set at the factory for
the most common installations, but this section describes the feature of each dip
switch should you wish to change any of these functions.
2. DO NOT plug in any components or battery until directed to do so in the
manual.
3. Make sure the toggle switch on the front of the FreezeAlarm is on the
STANDBY position for programming. The ALARM light on the front of the
unit will flash when in STANDBY mode.
4. Select the dip switch options per the Dip Switch Menu found below.
5. Ignore the ON or OFF labels on the dip switches themselves. Use only the
following table for proper explanation of each dip switch setting. UP means
the switch should be pointing towards the top of the FreezeAlarm case and
DOWN means the switch should be pointed towards the bottom of the case.
All the switches should come from the factory in the DOWN position.

Call Out Frequency. When the FreezeAlarm goes
into alarm mode and begins calling out, it will call
the three programmed phone numbers. If no one has

canceled the alarm call-out, it will begin the
sequence again in either 15 minutes or in 2 hours
according to the setting selected.
10 or 3 Ring Call-Out. If the FreezeAlarm received
no answer when calling a phone number, this switch
determines how many times the phone should ring
before the FreezeAlarm hangs up the call and
moves on to the next programmed number. This
saves on long distance charges. Select the 3 ring
option and, if the FreezeAlarm is calling an
4
answering machine set to answer on 4 or more
rings, the FreezeAlarm will hang up before the
answering machine answers, saving on any long
distance charge. This may not work in all areas as
some telephone companies may still charge for an
attempted long distance call which does not go
through.
