Do NOT mix old and new
batteries. Doing so will
reduce overall performance and may cause
battery leakage or rupture. When replacing
batteries, always replace all 4 at the same
time.
Using 3 or more batteries
may appear to work
properly even if one is inserted incorrectly.
Such usage may lead to battery leakage
or rupture that could result in equipment
damage.

Do NOT mix different
battery brands or types.
Doing so will reduce overall performance and
may also cause battery leakage or rupture.
We recommend using the same type of

STEP 1 - VERIFY PACKAGE
CONTENTS
a. Before installing your Advanced
Text Notification device, you will
need to check the signal strength/
reception in your basement. To do
this, plug in the A/C power adaptor,
flip the “On/Off” switch to the “On”
position and wait for the status light
to change from a red light to a
blinking green light. Blinking green
indicates you have cellular
reception, (this can take up to 1
minute).
b. Next, flip the “On/Off” switch to
the “Off” position and unplug A/C
power. Remove (4) screws, lift lid
and install (4) AAA batteries.
(Figure 1) The negative (-) end of
the battery must touch the spring.
Replace the lid and (4) screws.
c. Plug in A/C power adapter and flip
the “On/Off” switch to the “On”
position. Wait for the status light to
turn solid green indicating network
connection.
NOTE: If the status light remains
red, go online and check the Verizon

the jacks located on the bottom of
the device. Secure the dual float
sensor on the discharge pipe at
the height you want the alarm to
activate using the hose clamp
provided. Loop the wire around
the zip tie to prevent the sensor
from slipping down the pipe. Do
not mount the dual float sensor
near an inflow pipe where water
could splash and give a false
alarm. (Figure 4)

necessary to type the set up as
shown in the diagram including
spaces where indicated.
Otherwise, set up may not be
successful.
NOTE: Do NOT enter a “1”
in front of the area code.
The reference to “{space}”
throughout this manual
indicates a space in the text entered
e.g. Phone[phone] and should not be
entered as shown with brackets and the
word “{space}”, otherwise the entry will be
invalid and you may not be able to send and
receive text alerts.
b. It is recommended to add contact
numbers for Phone1, Phone2 and
Phone3. In case of an emergency
alert, if one of the phone numbers
are out of network range, service
has been interrupted or
disconnected, or the phone is off,
it will NOT receive an alert text
notification. The device will send
alerts to all of the phone numbers
that have been saved to Phone1,
Phone2 and Phone3 entries.
c. If successful, the device will chirp
twice and you will receive a
text message to the phone
number you just entered in
approximately 30 seconds after
the device chirps. (Figure 8) You
can repeat this process up to two
additional phones, using Phone2
and Phone3 commands. See
