Grid Extenders should be
located in a different room than
the Base or Console to extend
your home coverage, ideally on
an interior wall.
More than one Grid Extender
can be added to the system to
cover larger homes.
i
The Grid Extender includes
battery backup for continued
operation during power outages.
LifeShield recommends that all
GCs, including the Grid
Extender, be plugged into a
phone line to provide backup
communications to the Alarm
Monitoring Center.
!
Always ensure that your Grid
Extenders are plugged into an
electrical wall outlet that is not
controlled by a switch.
Moving the Grid Extender to a
different area or room of your
home, once the system is
installed, could disrupt your
coverage. Always verify system
operation after such a move by
tripping each of your Sensors to
verify they are still within the
coverage area of one of your
system's GCs.
