Troubleshooting

PROBLEM
The console's alarm does not trip when
you press CALL on the pendant.
If the battery indicator on the Console is
on.
If you lose your Pendant Remote.
If the system trips by itself
If the console does not dial out when you
press CALL on the Pendant Remote.
SOLUTION
• Check that the console's slide switch
is set to RUN.
• Check that the battery indicator on the
Pendant Remote turns on when you
press CALL. Replace the battery and
reinstall the Remote if necessary.
Replace the console's battery. A 9V
alkaline battery provides approximately
20 hours of backup. Replace battery at
least once a year.
Reinstall your complete system to
prevent someone else from using the lost
remote control.
A neighbor may have a compatible
system. Reinstall the complete system
so that it chooses different RF codes.
• Check that you have programmed in
emergency phone numbers. See
"Setting Up the Console."
• Make sure the console is connected to
the phone line.
• Make sure the Pendant Remote's
battery is good.
• Make sure the console has power and
the backup battery is good.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
If the console appears to be "locked up."
Intercom Systems
Intercom systems which send voice signals over existing electrical wiring may interfere
with the ability to control modules from your X10 Personal Assistance system with the
intercom in use. If the intercom system has its own separate wiring it will not cause a
problem.

SOLUTION
• If the RECORD light is on, you may
have just switched the console from
INSTALL to RUN. The console then
plays back the message. Wait 15
seconds and the RECORD light goes
out..
• If the RECORD light is not on, but the
console appears to be locked up, you
might have just triggered the system.
When the console dials out and
someone answers the phone and
presses any key, the console is put
into the listen mode for 75 seconds. If
you immediately call back the person,
or they call you, your phone will be
busy. Wait for 75 seconds: the console
will be operational again and the
phone line will be free.
