Install your Base Station
Make sure the wall socket is
not controlled by a light switch
which could accidentally cut
power to the Base Station.
Your Base Station’s LED
light indicates the status of
the system. Blue means it’s
armed, no light means it’s
disarmed.
Place your Base Station in a central location in your house.
Don’t install it on the floor.
Plug the Base Station into a wall socket using the included
power cord.
The Base Station is the brains and primary siren of your system.
It communicates with all of your devices and sends us your alarm
signals if you have activated alarm monitoring service.
