3.
Select the “Connect” option to see the available networks. If the “Connect” option is
not available, press “Setup” then “Factory Default”. The Touchpad can be connected
to either the Wi-Fi DeviceLink card or the home router for internet access. (Internet
access allows for camera control, weather updates, and the ability to modify users.)
4.
Once a network is determined, verify the signal strength. If the signal strength
displayed is less than 35, relocate the Touchpad or Connect+ panel. If neither options
are available, install an RE621 Touchpad Range Extender.
Note:
If connecting to a home network router, the Connect+ needs to be connected
to the same network via ethernet. The Touchpadcannot connect to the panel over an
unsecured or open network.

Pro Tips
When a Touchpad is connected to the BAT-Connect or Connect+ through the DeviceLink
interface it remains available for use during momentary power outages. The BAT-Connect,
Connect+, and the DeviceLink connection are battery backed. If the Touchpad is connect-
ed only via the premise Wi-Fi, Alula recommends that all network equipment including
the Wi-Fi access point be connected to a suitable UPS to ensure system availability during
power outage. The Touchpad may and typically should be installed with both premise and
DeviceLink options, as it is designed to fall back to the DeviceLink interface during loss of
the premise Wi-Fi connection (for any reason).
Push any extra wire into wall before sliding Touchpad onto mounting plate to ensure
the wires don’t get pinched. Drill a hole in the wall through any of the 4 mounting plate
windows if no hole exists.
The Touchpad display turns off on its own after specified allotted time of inactivity
(Auto sleep display setting). It will turn back on when the screen is touched, or for some
alarm conditions. The screen can also be turned off manually by pressing "Sleep."
To unenroll the Touchpad navigate to the Settings menu and then to the section labeled
"Panel." Put the panel, or BAT-Connect, into wireless enrollment mode and press the
unenrollment button on the touchpad screen.
Note:
The unenroll button is displayed on the Touchpad only when the panel is in
enrollment mode.
Weather can be added
to the Touchpad if internet access is available. Toadd weather pull
down from the top of the screen and select the Add Weather option. Once a location is
configured live weather will appear in the pull-down menu or on the system overview screen
when the Auto Sleep Display setting is disabled.
To remove vanity cover, insert a flat head screwdriver at the two points shown below and twist
the screwdriver.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information:
This Communicator meets the government's requirements for
exposure to radio waves. The guidelines are based on standards
that were developed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.
The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to

assure the safety of all persons regardless of age or health.
FCC RF Exposure Information and Statement the SAR
limit of USA (FCC) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of
tissue. Device types: Communicator has also been tested
against this SAR limit. This device was tested for typical
body-worn operations with the back of the phone kept
0mm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF
exposure requirements,
useaccessories that maintain an 0mm separation distance
between the user's body and the back of the phone. The use of
belt clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain
metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories
that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC
RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.
