found (out of GSM coverage range). Remedy = Re-locate the device or use a longer
aerial or signal booster.
If the LED flashes once every 3 seconds, this indicates the cellular network has been
found (all ok).

Setting up system for the first time:
Please ensure the SIM card does NOT have a PIN number or is locked has been
ACTIVATED with the network provider, insert into SIM slot on the back (see
page 4) and power the unit up.
You must wait for the LED to be slowing flashing (EVERY 3 seconds) before
sending any commands. Please wait a few minutes, as the unit will set auto-
band and other details for the country.
IMPORTANT:
For all text commands, spelling and spaces must be strictly followed.
Country Code:
?? Is the country code and XXXXXXXX is the mobile number without the preceding 0.
Examples:
New Zealand = 64 (+64 and the number without the preceding 0)
If the users number is 0411893070 then Command = add user [phone]
Australia = 61 (+61 and the number without the preceding 0)
If the users number is 0414884900 then Command = add user [phone]
Singapore =0065 (+65 and the number without the preceding 0)
If the users number is 0414884900 then Command = add user [phone]
USA & Canada = 001 (+1 and the Area Code & Number)
If the users number is 414-555-1434 then Command = add user [phone]
!! IMPORTANT !!

!! NOTE !!
If a user sends a text message to the system, which is not an exact match with the
commands, the system responds with:
Sorry either that device does not exist or the message format is not understood, please
check the spelling and try again
If anyone other than a programmed user sends a text message to the system, the
system responds with:
Sorry you are not permitted to access this device
Setting up the first user (Once only command)
Command: Set user
Note: the unit will pick up the users number from the incoming text.
When the Initial user setup has been successful the system responds with:
“ Your number has just been added to the user list”
Note: The initial user could be the installer who would set the system up, add other users (Add
user page 8) and then remove his number (Remove user page 8).

8
Adding a User (Note: Setting up the first user page 7 must be done first)
Command: Add user +??XXXXXXXX (see Country Code page 7)
If the user is already in the list, the system responds with:
Sorry +??XXXXXXXX is already active and cannot be added twice, please check
the number and try again
If the number does not fit the checks, to confirm it is a valid number (all digits must be
numbers excluding the leading +), the system responds with:
+??XXXXXXXX does not appear to be a valid number, please check that there
are no letters or symbols in the number and try again
If the number does not lead with a +, the system responds with:
??XXXXXXXX does not appear to have the country code in international format
(e.g. +??...) please check this and try again
However if everything is fine, the system responds with:
The user number +??XXXXXXXX has been added to the user list
Removing a User
Command: Remove user +??XXXXXXXX (see Country Code page 7)
If you try to remove the only user, the system responds with:
Cannot delete the only user.
If the number sent is not currently on the list, the system responds with:
+??XXXXXXXX is not currently in the user list so cannot be removed, please
check the number and try again
If everything is ok, the system responds with:
The user number +??XXXXXXXX has been removed from the user list
Adding a Administrator
Command: Add admin +??XXXXXXXX (see Country Code page 7)
The system responds with:
The number +??XXXXXXXXXXX has been set as the system administrator
If the admin has already been set, the system responds with:
The administrator number +??XXXXXXXXXXX has already been set
If an administrator number is set then this is the only number the system will accept
commands from. Other user will be sent texts but CAN NOT send any commands.

case it will move the user from administrator to user.
The system responds with: This number has been changed from administrator to a user
Get a list of all the Users
Command: User list
The system responds with:
User list is: +??XXXXXXXX +??XXXXXXXX … (up to 5 numbers)

The system responds with:
The user lookup list feature has been turned on and the unit will only accept
commands from programmed users
