Some functions require an optional accessory to be purchased.

You can use this to make it look like someone is home. The light will turn on and off at slightly different times each evening so it is not so obvious that a timer is being used. To activate this feature: 1. Press the TIMER ON / OFF button once.
AL10 USER GUIDE ‐ Draft Rev2 CHANNEL SETTINGS The AlertMaster System uses special radio signals to communicate between the console unit and all its accessories. For the accessories (Door Announcer, Baby Sound Monitor, Audio Alarm Transmitter and Motion Sensor) to activate the base unit, they all have to be on the same "channel." A "DIP switch" is used for channel selection. Your system and all the accessories have been preset in the factory to a standard channel setting.
