Component Placement Suggestions:
The LifeShield Home Security system you are about to install is wireless. To maximize wireless coverage, plan to
place the Base, Console and Grid Extender components throughout your home. Ideally, these components will be in
different rooms on interior walls. A key consideration is making sure that all Sensors are within approximately 30 feet
of one or more of these components.
NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO PLAN YOUR COMPONENT PLACEMENT

Communication Connections:
Internet
The Base connects the system to the Internet. Your Internet
connection is likely located where your Modem/Router is
placed. The Internet enables remote access to your system
from LifeShield.com. If you are professionally monitored,
the Internet is also the primary vehicle through which
alarms and events get reported to Central Monitoring for
dispatching the proper authorities to your home.

Phone Line Back Up
If you subscribe to a phone service, the phone line enables the phone
functions on your LifeShield system. It also serves as a backup
method for sending alarms if you are professionally monitored. For
your convenience the phone line connection can be either on the Base,
Console or Grid Extender. If the phone wall jack is being used by an
existing phone, a 2-1 adapter (phone splitter) is required.
