Welcome to Magnavox Home Security!
Congratulations on the purchase of your Magnavox Home Security System. Your new Home Security
Controller and accessories use the latest computer technology to detect and report an intrusion in your
home.
Your Home Security System comes with Door/Window Sensors to protect selected doors or windows from intrusion. t
also comes with a Unit that turns the lights on and off at your command.
f anyone breaks into your home, your home security system will sound a siren and make the lights flash. You can also
program it to automatically call the professional monitoring service when an intrusion is detected. The monitoring service
provides professional security monitoring and technical support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Best of all, you can operate your Home Security System from a distance using the Full-Function Remote. You can also
turn lights on and off from a telephone outside your home.
This manual explains everything you need to know to install and operate your Home Security System.

Setting U the Door/Window Sensors
Your Door/Window Sensors communicate with the Central Controller when an intrusion is detected. To ensure proper opera-
tion of your system, each Sensor sends a signal to the Controller on a regular basis. Your system also lets you know when batter-
ies need to be replaced. These features ensure maximum security protection.
im ortant! Install each Door/Window Sensor one at a time. Make sure to rubberband the magnets together with the
arrows facing each other before you insert the batteries for that sensor. DO NOT put batteries into a Door/Window Sensor
until you are ready to install that particular Sensor. Failure follow these instructions may result in false security zones. you
accidentally separate the magnets while you are installing the Sensor, or if you insert the batteries into all the Door/Window
Sensors at the same time, follow these steps to start over:
1. Remove batteries from all Door/Window Sensors.
2. Press the TEST button on each Door/Window Sensor.
3. Set the Controllers Slider Switch to NSTALL SEC, then press the TEL CODE and MON TOR buttons at the same time.

Creating Magnet
or Wood Spacer
S acers
f your magnets are more than
apart you may need to add a plastic
or wood spacer below each magnet
to get them closer together. When
mounting sensors on a metal frame,
the frame can interfere with the
signal transmission. Adding a spacer
can eliminate interference.

Setting U a Motion Detector
Your Motion Detector will detect intrusion and report back to the Central Controller if there is a security breach. n order to
ensure your Motion Detector is operating correctly, it has been designed to send a status signal back to the Central Controller on
a regular basis. n this way, your system will let you know when your batteries in your Motion Detector need replacing, ensuring
maximum security protection.
As a result, it is important to install the Door/Window Sensors and Motion Detectors one at a time.
DO NOT put batteries into
a Motion Detector until you are ready to install it. Failure to follow this may result in false security zones being set up. n the
event you accidentally insert all batteries at the same time, follow the following steps to start over:
Remove all batteries from your Motion Detector.
2. Press the TEST button on the Motion Detector.
3. Set the Slider Selector Switch on the Central Controller to NSTALL SEC.
4. Press the TEL CODE and MON TOR buttons at the same time.
5. Follow the steps below, being careful not to put batteries into the Motion Detector until you are ready to install it.

to differentiate the Motion Detector from additional
Motion Detectors you may purchase later.
d. Press the TEST button on the back of the Motion
Detector until the Central Controller beeps.
A Zone ndicator Light will appear on the Central
Controller near a number on the inside door. That
means the Motion Detector you just installed has
been designated as that particular zone by your Home
Security System. (For example, if a Zone ndicator
Light appears by the number on the inside of the
Central Controllers door, the Motion Detector has
been installed as zone 4.) f you wish, you may write
the name or location of this Motion Detector by the
number on the door of the Central Controller.
e. Slide the switch on the back of the Motion Detector
to or 2. f you select the systems alarm will
sound immediately when the Motion Detector
detects movement. f you select 2, when the Motion
Detector detects movement, it will wait a few sec-

Setting U Professional Monitoring Service
Monitoring is the most important aspect of home security and maximizes the use of your system. Your new Home Security System has a
feature that can be programmed to connect the professional monitoring service when an intrusion is detected. For a small monthly fee,
the professional monitoring service will monitor your system 24 hours a day, every day of the year. When security is breached, your
Central Controller will automatically send a digital alarm signal to the central monitoring station. An Alarm Monitoring Agent will imme-
diately call your home to verify the status of the alarm. The Monitoring Agent will then dispatch help by providing directions to your
home, as well as the exact location of the break in. The Monitoring Agent can also be designated to call you at work, on a pager, on a
cellular phone, or at a neighbors.
