3. A single line telephone jack. This does not need to be a dedicated
phone jack; a phone can share the jack with the BD-5000 through the
use of a telephone line splitter (not included). These are available at
most hardware, electronics or discount stores. You must have Touch-
Tone® telephone service for the BD-5000 to properly operate. The
BD-5000 will not work on pulse or rotary dialing telephone systems.
B. Installation:
1. Remove the four screws from the back cover.
2. Clip the battery terminals to your 9V battery and place in battery
compartment.
3. With the cover still removed, locate the four little “dip” switches on the
circuit board.

Switch Explanation:
Switch #1: Factory set to OFF. Do not change the setting of this
switch.
Switch #2: Pick Up Ring Count: This is the number of rings at which
your BD-5000 will answer so you can cancel the alarm call out. The
default setting is to answer after five rings. If you have an answering
4
machine or voice mail, you want to be sure the answering machine or
voice mail answers on less rings than what you have this set for. For
more information on this feature, see the section titled Answering
Machines/Voice Mail at Monitored Location under the
OPERATION section.
Switch #3: Call out Frequency: Your BD-5000 can call your
programmed telephone number every 15 minutes or every 2 hours.
This is default set at every 2 hours.
Switch #4: The BD-5000 has the capability of dialing out if the
attached alarm device either closes an alarm contact or opens an alarm
contact. The default setting is Normally Open, meaning that any
attached alarm contact must CLOSE in order to trigger the BD-5000 to
call your programmed call-to phone number.
4. Replace the back cover. Be careful to ensure the cover goes on the
correct way as the telephone jack on the BD-5000 and the battery may
not sit correctly if replaced incorrectly.
5. Plug one end of the supplied telephone cord into the BD-5000. Plug
the other end of the telephone cord into the wall jack of your single line
telephone. CAUTION: The BD-5000 requires a single line telephone,
but does not require this line to be dedicated for the BD-5000 use only.
The BD-5000 may not be compatible with some PBX or other multi-
line business telephone systems. Connecting the BD-5000 to a
commercial telephone system may cause internal damage to both
systems. The BD-5000 can share a wall phone jack with a telephone.
A dual plug adapter or “splitter” (not included), is required and is
available at most hardware or electronics stores. The adapter allows
both the BD-5000 and the telephone to share the same phone line
through connection of a single wall jack.
C. Programming or Changing the “Call-To” Telephone Number:
The Call-To telephone number is the number you want your BD-5000 to
call if motion is detected in your remotely monitored location. Once you
program the phone number into your BD-5000, it is stored indefinitely. It
will not be lost even if you disconnect the battery and the phone line. The
maximum number of digits you can have in a phone number is 40 digits.
Eligible digits include any of the number keys and the “star” (*) key. All
digits and the star (*) key are part of the 40 digit total.
You will be using the (#), (*) and number keys in the programming and
testing of the BD-5000 Plus. Before programming, make sure your phone
line is connected to the BD-5000 and the other end is plugged into your
wall telephone jack.
1. Press and hold the pound (#) key on the keypad.
