Instructions
Plug the Base Unit into power, remove the battery cover and flip
the main power switch to ON. The Network Configuration Indicator
atop the Base Unit will flash and after approximately 45 seconds a
beep should sound indicating the device is being activated.
Before you open the app, make sure the phone is connected to the
Internet through the same Wi-Fi network you’ll be using for the
Sphere Alarm System.
Put your Base Unit close to your Wi-Fi router. It shouldn’t be
placed on the floor. The Sphere Alarm System requires a 2.4 GHz
Wi-Fi network.
The next section, Getting Started with the Sphere App (pg. 11), will
show you how to easily pair your Base Unit to the Sphere Alarm app.

The Sphere Alarm app allows you to control the entire Sphere
Alarm System from your smartphone. You can arm and disarm
the system, share access, and add more sensors to your system,
quickly and conveniently.

Getting Started with the Sphere App
• Use the App to Install the Base Unit
Since the entire Sphere Alarm System revolves around the
Base Unit and the Base Unit is set up and controlled from the Sphere
Alarm app, you must have the app running on your mobile screen
(smartphone or tablet) to proceed with the installation. Upon loading
the app, a Welcome to Sphere Alarm! screen will appear as follows:
12
Tap “Quick Set-
up” to reveal the
device ID of your
Base Unit.
Tap the “Let’s get
started!” button.

Getting Started with the Sphere App
• The app will automatically scan for Base Units and display
their names. Choose one to connect. After successfully
connecting the Base Unit, rename the device and set up a
password for future configuration purposes.
13
Tap your Device ID. (The serial
number should match what’s on
your Base Unit sticker.)
Rename the Device ID number
with something easy for you
to identify with such as “Smith
Home Alarm.”
Create and enter a four-digit
passcode for the entire system
that you’ll remember. (This pass-
code will also be used with your
Wireless Keypad.)
Smith Home Alarm

Getting Started with the Sphere App
• Select the Wi-Fi network you want the Base Unit to connect
with and input the network password to finish the setup.
(Alternatively, you can connect the Base Unit to your router
using an Ethernet cable.)
14
Important: all the components and accessories in this kit are already
paired to the Base Unit. (Accessories purchased later will have to be
paired to the Base Unit.)
Choose your wired (LAN) or
wireless network.
If wireless, enter the network’s
password twice.

Getting Started with the Sphere App
• System Status
The Sphere Alarm app offers complete control over the Sphere Alarm
System including the ability to set the system status and level of user
authority. You can adjust the system status to one of three settings:
Arm, Disarm or Home Arm. Sensors trigger an alarm depending on
the current system status. But whatever the status, you can manually
trigger an SOS at any time.
