READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
We have designed your security system
to conform to federal regulations, and
you can connect it to most telephone
lines. However, each device that you
connect to the phone line draws power
from the phone line. We refer to this
power draw as the device’s Ringer
Equivalence Number, or REN (shown
on the back of your system).
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
!
DO NOT OPEN.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE
COVER OR BACK. NO USER-SERVICE-
ABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVIC-
ING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
This symbol is intended to alert you to
the presence of uninsulated danger-
ous voltage within the product’s en-
closure that might be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of elec-
tric shock. Do not open the product’s
case.
If you are using more than one phone or
other device on the line, add up all the
RENs. If the total is more than five, your
phones might not ring. In rural areas, a
total REN of three might impair ringer
operation. If ringer operation is im-
paired, disconnect one of the devices
from the line.
This symbol is intended to inform you
that important operating and mainte-
!
nance instructions are included in the
literature accompanying this product.
This security system complies with Part
68 of FCC Rules. You must, upon re-
quest, provide the FCC registration
number and the REN to your phone
company. Both numbers are shown on
the back of the system.
Note: The security functions of this sys-
tem have not been tested by UL.
Note: You must not connect this system
to:
• Coin-operated systems
• Party-line systems

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
Your security system detects move-
SETTING UP MONITORED
SERVICE
ment within a 180° arc up to 36 feet
away. Once your system is armed, any
movement within this range automati-
cally triggers the alarm.
To set up service, you need to:
• Fill out the enclosed monitoring
agreement and mail or fax it to
ORCA Monitoring Services.
After you set up your account with
ORCA Monitoring Services, your sys-
tem calls and reports alarms to their
trained staff of security professionals.
Monitored service does not begin
until ORCA Monitoring Services
receives and processes your moni-
toring agreement. Allow 24 hours
for faxed requests and 5 days for
mailed requests.
The ORCA Monitoring Services staff
first tries to contact you to verify that it is
not a false alarm. By calling you first,
ORCA Monitoring Services ensures
that the police are not contacted if you
accidentally set off your alarm.
• Install the system
• Call ORCA Monitoring Services at
1-800-FOR-ORCA
(1-800-367-
In alarm situations, the monitoring cen-
ter dispatches the police to your ad-
dress and tries to contact someone you
listed on your emergency call list. (You
might want to list your work phone num-
ber as the first number.)
6722) from a telephone on the
same line as your system to have
the system initialized.
During the call, ORCA Monitoring
Services programs the PIN and
other settings (listed on Page 6)
into the system. The preferred set-
tings work best for most situations.
However, you can ask ORCA Mon-
itoring Services to change these
settings to make the system work
best for you.
ORCA Monitoring Services tries each
number once in the order that you listed
them on your monitoring agreement. If
ORCA Monitoring Services contacts
one of the people listed, they do not dis-
turb the other people on the list.

PREPARATION
• Overlooks an area that an intruder
would most likely cross when
entering or moving through your
home.
SELECTING A LOCATION
For your security system to be most ef-
fective, you need to install it in a location
that meets all of the following condi-
tions:
You can place the system on a
shelf or table, or mount it on a wall
or in the corner of a room. The sys-
tem detects movement by sensing
a change in temperature within its
field of view. When someone walks
past the system, it detects the tem-
perature change and triggers the
alarm.
• Is near an AC outlet.
Note: If your best location is not
near an AC outlet, you can have an
electrician install an outlet for you.
• Is near a modular telephone jack.
Note: If your best location is not
near a modular telephone jack, you
can install a modular jack yourself
or have the telephone company
install one for you.
Also, note that the system is more
sensitive to movement across its
coverage area than to movement
directly toward or away from it.
– Radio Shack stores sell jacks,
adapters, and telephone wiring.
– The telephone company charges
to install the necessary jacks.
– The USOC number of the jack to
be installed is RJ-11C (or RJ-
11W for a wall plate jack).

• Does not directly face a window,
heating or air conditioning vent,
appliance, outside wall, or other
heat source.
TESTING THE LOCATION
Once you select a location and before
you mount it, follow these steps to test
the system’s coverage.
These sources could produce rapid
temperature changes that the sys-
tem might incorrectly identify as an
intruder.
Note: To test the location, you do not
need to connect the system to the
phone line, install a backup battery, or
set up service.
• Is high enough not to be triggered
by pets, yet is low enough to be
triggered by someone of average
height walking across the area.
1. Plug the power adapter’s barrel
plug into the jack on the back of the
system as shown on Page 10.
To help prevent false alarms
caused by pets, the system senses
motion at or above its mounted
location. It does not sense motion
below where you mount it. In most
installations, a location about 31/2
feet off the floor provides the best
security.
2. Plug the power adapter into an AC
outlet as shown on Page 10.
Notes:
• If you have not installed a
backup battery, the POWER
indicator flashes.

MOUNTING THE SYSTEM
INSTALLING A BACKUP
BATTERY
You can mount the system on a wall or
simply place it on a desk, table, or shelf.
If AC power is disconnected or fails,
your system operates for up to 24 hours
from a 9-volt alkaline battery (Radio
Shack Cat. No. 23-553, not supplied).
To mount the system on a wall, use the
supplied screws, or screws suitable to
the mounting surface, to secure the
mounting bracket at the selected loca-
tion.
Warning: To prevent a possible electric
shock, always disconnect the system
from the phone line before you install or
replace the battery.
Mounting on a Wall

USING THE WARNING
STICKERS
The four enclosed warning stickers are
an important part of your security sys-
tem. Statistics show that homes with a
security system are 15 times less likely
to be burglarized than homes that do
not have a security system. The stickers
are a first line of defense, warning a po-
tential burglar that you have a system
installed.
Place a sticker at areas where intruders
would most likely enter your home, such
as:
• The front door (most burglars enter
this way)
• The back door
• Front and rear windows
• Fire escape windows (in apartment
buildings)
• Side windows
Radio Shack stores sell additional stick-
ers if you need more than the four sup-
plied.

OPERATION
Note: If the system beeps three
descending tones when you arm it,
it has detected a fault with the
system—either the AC power is
disconnected, the backup battery is
dead, or the SERVICE indicator is
flashing. Disarm the system. Then
correct the problem and try again.
ARMING THE SYSTEM
You can arm your system for either de-
layed or instant alert.
When you arm the system for de-
layed alert, the system waits for the en-
try delay before sounding the alarm.
The default entry delay is 30 seconds,
but you can have ORCA Monitoring
Services set it to be from 20 to 275 sec-
onds. The system beeps once per sec-
ond during the entry delay, unless you
have selected to have it beep only once.
3. Hang up the handset within 60 sec-
onds of entering the command.
The system beeps once and the
ARMED indicator turns on. After
the exit delay (60 seconds default),
the system responds to motion.
When you arm the system for instant
alert, the alarm sounds instantly when it
detects motion. If you select instant
alert, be sure you can get to a telephone
to disarm the system without moving
through the protected area.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
To disarm the system, lift your phone’s
handset and dial 1-800-YOUR PIN and
D (3). The system beeps twice through
the phone. Hang up the phone within 60
seconds. The system beeps twice to
confirm, then disarms.
The system provides an exit delay for
both delayed and instant alert arming.
The default exit delay is 60 seconds, but
you can have ORCA Monitoring Servic-
es set this to be from 20 to 275 seconds.
Notes:
• If the system beeps three steady
tones, the alarm sounded while you
were away. Call ORCA Monitoring
Services to get details about the
alarm.
Follow these steps to arm the system.
1. Lift your phone’s handset and dial
1-800-YOUR PIN. For example, if
your PIN is 6864, dial 1-800-6864.
• If the system beeps three descend-
ing tones, it has detected a fault
with the system—either the AC
power is disconnected, the backup
battery is dead, or the SERVICE
indicator is flashing. Correct the
problem as soon as possible.
2. Press A (2) on your phone’s key-
pad to arm the system for delayed
alert or I (4) to arm the system for
instant alert.
You hear one beep through the
phone.

• If you armed the system for instant
alert, you must disarm the system
from a phone you can reach with-
out setting off the alarm.
ALARM CONDITIONS
When the system detects a violation, it
calls ORCA Monitoring Services then
starts a 5-minute alert siren. ORCA
Monitoring Services first calls your
home to try to confirm the alarm. If no
one answers, or if the person who an-
swers does not know your password,
ORCA Monitoring Services notifies the
police and also tries to contact at least
one person you listed on your monitor-
ing service agreement.
• If the entry delay has elapsed, you
must wait for the system to contact
ORCA Monitoring Services and
begin sounding the siren before
you can disarm the system.
REMOTE ARM/DISARM
You can arm and disarm your system
by calling your home. If you have an an-
swering machine, wait for the answer-
ing machine to answer, then enter the
arm or disarm code (1-800-YOUR PIN
+ A (2) to arm with an entry delay, I (4)
to arm for instant alert, or D (3) to dis-
arm). The system sounds one tone to
verify arming, two tones to verify dis-
arming, or three tones if there is a prob-
lem.
After 5 minutes, the system stops
sounding the siren and rearms. The
next time you disarm the system, it
sounds three tones to let you know that
the system was violated.
Note: If your system has repeated false
alarms, ORCA Monitoring Services
might temporarily disarm your system
until the problem is resolved.
If you do not have an answering ma-
chine, ORCA Monitoring Services can
have your system answer the phone af-
ter a specified number (the preferred
setting is 8 rings). Enter the arm or dis-
arm sequence when ringing stops.
CLEARING THE SERVICE
INDICATOR
After you start service with ORCA Mon-
itoring Services, the yellow indicator
flashes when ORCA Monitoring Servic-
es needs to contact you. If the SER-
VICE indicator flashes, call 1-800-FOR-
ORCA to find out how to clear the indi-
cator. The system still functions as a
stand alone alarm when the indicator is
flashing, but it does not call ORCA Mon-
itoring Services during an alert.
Notes: Remote arming and disarming
does not work if you have voice mail,
call forwarding, another telephone ser-
vice that routes unanswered calls to an-
other number, or an answering machine
that holds the line for more than 60 sec-
onds after you hang up, and might not
work with all remote-controlled answer-
ing machines.

TESTING THE SYSTEM
There are three ways to test your sys-
tem:
TESTING THE
MONITORING SERVICE
• Testing Coverage
Periodically have the system call the
monitoring service to confirm they are
properly receiving its signals during an
alert. Before you do this, have your
password handy. First call ORCA Mon-
itoring Services at 1-800-FOR-ORCA to
let them know you are going to test the
system. Then arm the system, wait for
the exit delay to expire, and walk
through the covered area.
• Testing the Siren
• Testing the Monitoring Service
TESTING COVERAGE
Periodically test the coverage to be sure
your system will detect intruders. To do
this, disarm the system. Then walk
around the covered area. When the
system detects your movement, the red
ARMED indicator flashes. If the system
does not sense your movement, reread
“Installation” to be sure it is properly in-
stalled.
ORCA Monitoring Services should call
you within a few minutes of the alert.
Give them the password and advise
them again that you were testing the
system.
TESTING THE SIREN
Periodically test the siren to be sure it
will sound when triggered. To do this, lift
the handset of any phone connected to
the same line as the system. Then dial
1-800-YOUR PIN and T (8) then hang
up within 60 seconds. The system waits
for the exit delay. Then, when it detects
motion, it sounds the siren for 3 sec-
onds.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Radio Shack Central 2000 Easy Installation Monitored Motion Detector Secu-
rity System is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. Follow these guide-
lines to keep it working properly for years.
Keep the system dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids
can contain minerals that corrode electronic circuits.
Use and store the system only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices and
distort or melt plastic parts.
Handle the system gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir-
cuit boards and cases and can cause the system to work improperly.
Keep the system away from dust and dirt, which can cause prema-
ture wear of parts.
Use only a fresh 9V alkaline battery in the system. An old or weak
battery can leak chemicals that could damage electronic circuits.
Wipe the system with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
CLEANER
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-
gents to clean your system.
Modifying or tampering with the sytem’s internal components can cause a malfunc-
tion and invalidate your sytem’s warranty and void your FCC authorization to oper-
ate it. If your system is not performing as it should, take it to your local Radio Shack
store or contact ORCA Monitoring Services at 1-800-FOR-ORCA for assistance. If
the trouble is harming the phone lines, the telephone company might ask you to dis-
connect the system until you resolve the problem.

49-351.fm Page 17 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 4:37 PM
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO LIGHTNING
KNOW
Your system has built-in protection cir-
cuits to reduce the risk of damage from
surges in phone and power line current.
These protection circuits meet or ex-
ceed FCC requirements. However,
lightning striking the phone or power
lines can damage your system.
In the unlikely event that your system
causes problems on the phone line, the
phone company can disconnect your
service. The phone company attempts
to notify you in advance. If advance no-
tice is not practical, the phone company
notifies you of your right to file a com-
plaint with the FCC.
Lightning damage is not common. How-
ever, if you live in an area that has fre-
quent electrical storms, we suggest that
you unplug your system during storms
to reduce the possibility of damage.
Also, the phone company can make
changes to its lines, equipment, opera-
tions, or procedures that could affect
the operation of your system. The
phone company notifies you in ad-
vance, so you can take steps to prevent
interruption of your phone service.

TROUBLESHOOTING
We do not expect you to have any problems with your system. However, if you do,
try the suggestions in this section first. If you still cannot solve the problem, call 1-
800-FOR-ORCA or contact any Radio Shack store for assistance.
Frequent False Alarms
• Always disarm the system as soon as you get home.
• Do not let children arm and disarm the system.
• If you are not sure whether the system is armed or disarmed, disarm it.
• Be sure everyone authorized to be in your home knows both the PIN and your
password.
• Periodically test your system. See “Testing the System” on Page 15.
Three Tones When You Arm or Disarm the System
• Be sure the system is properly connected to AC power and a backup battery is
installed.
• If the yellow SERVICE indicator is flashing, call 1-800-FOR-ORCA for instruc-
tions. The system does not call ORCA Monitoring Services during an alert if the
SERVICE indicator is flashing.
Cannot Arm or Disarm the System
• Be sure you are using the correct PIN.
• Be sure the system is properly connected to the phone line and that either AC
power or the backup battery is connected (or both).
• Slow down. Even if the system is sounding the alarm, you have plenty of time
to enter the PIN.
Indicators are Flashing
• See “Understanding System Indicators” on Page 14 for a complete description
of all indicators.
