2 Signal Extender
• When connecting the Signal Extender to a standard analog phone line, it is recommended that you install an RJ-
31X jack ahead of all phones and other devices on the line for full line seizure. This allows the Signal Extender
to take control of the phone line when an alarm occurs, even if the phone is in use or off-hook. It also provides
customers with a quick disconnect in case the Signal Extender malfunctions, allowing them to use their phone.
• For UL Listed installations, mount the RJ-31X jack within 5 feet of the Signal Extender.
¾ Install The Battery
Note: To avoid risk of shock or fire, install only IG180 battery
Install the IG180 rechargeable battery pack into the Signal Extender and allow to charge for at least 15-20 hours
before using with AC power.
1) Press down on the battery compartment cover (use the finger indention for a better grip) and slide the cover
downward to remove.
2) Turn the battery pack so that the connector with the red and black wires is near the jack inside the battery
compartment. Match the connector's polarity to the polarity of the jack in the battery compartment (the
connector notches fit into the grooves of the jack only one way). Push the battery pack connector into the jack
until it clicks into place.
3) Make sure you have a good connection by gently pulling on the battery wires. If the connection is secure, the
battery connector will remain in place.
4) Place the battery case cover back on the handset and slide it upwards until it clicks into place.
¾ Mounting
Note: You must be free of static electricity before handling the Signal Extender. Touch a bare metal surface or wear
a grounding strap to discharge yourself.
1) Mount the Signal Extender on an outlet only after the battery has been installed in the Signal Extender and the
battery cover is closed.
2) Find the circuit breaker or fuse controlling the outlet to which the Signal Extender will be mounted and
disconnect power to the outlet by turning the circuit breaker off or removing the fuse.
3) Remove the center screw attaching the outlet cover to the outlet. Do not remove the outlet cover.
4) Plug the Signal Extender into the lower socket of the outlet as shown in Figure x with the Signal Extender
telephone connector facing downward.
5) The Signal Extender contains a sliding tab that protrudes above the Signal Extender. If necessary, slide the tab
up or down until the hole in the tab is aligned with the center screw hole of the outlet cover.
6) Insert the outlet screw through both the tab and the center screw hole of the outlet cover as shown in Figure X,
and tighten as necessary. The tab and the cover should be snug against the outlet, but not so tight that it causes
flexing or stress on either the tab or the outlet cover.
7) Reconnect power to the outlet by turning the circuit breaker on or replacing the fuse.
