CENTRAL 1000 Monitored Personal Emergency Alert System
(490-2575)                 System Information         Faxback Doc. # 32226

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

After you set up your account with ORCA Monitoring Services, your system
calls and reports alarms to ORCA's trained security professionals.  They
try to contact you to verify that it is not a false alarm.  Calling you
first ensures that emergency services are not alerted if you accidentally
set off your alarm.

In emergency situations, the monitoring center dispatches the appropriate
emergency service to your address and tries to contact each of the people
on your emergency call list in the order you listed them on your monitoring
agreement.  If ORCA contacts one of the people listed, they do not disturb
the other listed people.

Your system also has several options you can customize.  Place a check mark
next to any settings you want to discuss with ORCA, and refer to this page
when you call them to set up service.  If you do not request otherwise,
ORCA programs the preferred settings into your system.

Dial Delay

Preferred setting: 40 seconds

Sets how long the system waits after you trigger it before it calls ORCA
Monitoring Services.

Touch Tone Dialing

Preferred setting:  Touch tone dialing.

Can be set to use rotary dialing if you do not subscribe to touch-tone
phone service.

Silent Alarm

Preferred setting:  Audible alarm

Can be set to only call ORCA without sounding the siren at all.

Plug 'n Power House Code

Preferred setting:  House Code A

Can be set to any house code (A-O).  Determines which Plug 'n Power modules
are controlled by the system.  See "Understanding Plug 'n Power Home
Control", below.

Plug 'n Power Unit Code

Preferred setting:  Unit Code 16

Can be set to any unit code (1-16).  This determines which lamps plugged
into plug 'n power modules flash when you trigger your alarm.  See
"Understanding Plug 'n Power Home Control", below.

Flash All Lights

Preferred setting:  Off

If this option is selected, all lights plugged into plug 'n power modules
(set to the same house code as your system) flash during an alarm.  You
can also have the system flash only the selected Plug 'n Power module or
flash no modules. See "Understanding Plug 'n Power Home Control", below.

UNDERSTANDING PLUG 'N POWER HOME CONTROL

The Plug 'n Power home control system lets you turn appliances on and off,
dim and control lights, and even control your heating/air conditioning
system's thermostat.

Best of all, with Plug 'n Power home control, you do not have to add any
separate wiring.  The system uses your home's existing wiring to send
control signals to plug 'n power modules.

Each module has two switches - a HOUSE CODE switch and a UNIT CODE switch.
Each switch has 16 positions, letting you control up to 256 separate lights
or appliances.

You can control all lamp modules set to the same House Code at the same
time (for example, you can turn on all lights set to House Code B by
pressing a single button).  Or, you can control individual modules by
specifying both the House and Unit Code (for example, you can dim the light
plugged into the module set to House Code C, Unit Code 4 without affecting
other lights).

To use the system for home control, in addition to Plug 'n Power modules
that you plug your lights and appliances in to, you also need a Plug 'n
Power controller to send commands to the modules.  Your local Radio Shack
store sells controllers, including wireless controllers, computer
interfaced controllers, timed controllers, and light-activated
controllers.

Your Central 1000 can receive Plug 'n Power commands from any Plug 'n
Power wireless remote control, so you can control lights and appliances
from anywhere in your home.  The Owner's Manual that comes with the
wireless remote covers Plug 'n Power operation in more details.

NOTE:  If you purchase one Plug 'n Power lamp module and set it to the
       house and unit code you selected when you set up service, a lamp
       plugged into that module flashes when you set off the system.
