Regular maintenance and inspection (at least monthly) by the installer
and frequent testing by the user are vital to the continuous and
satisfying operation of any alarm system. The installer should assume
the responsibility for developing and offering a regular maintenance
program to the user, as well as acquainting the user with the proper
operation and limitations of the alarm system and its component parts.
Recommendations must include a specific program of regular
testing (at least weekly) to insure that the system is operating
properly at all times.
TELEPHONE LINE PROBLEMS
In the event of telephone line problems, disconnect the SYSTEM 238
by removing the modular connector plug from the Telco interface jack.
Do not disconnect the connection inside the SYSTEM 238
cabinet. Doing so will prevent the premise phones from operating. If
your phone works correctly after the control panel has been discon-
nected from the phone line, the control panel has a problem and should
be returned for repair.
If the phone does not work after you have disconnected the control
panel from the phone line, notify the telephone company and request
prompt repair. The user may not under any circumstance (in or
out of warranty) attempt any service or repairs on the SYSTEM 238.
The control panel must be returned to C&K SYSTEMS or an authorized
service agency for repairs.
DS1
WATCH
DOG
Watchdog Indicator
The SYSTEM 238 is protected by an advanced
circuit, called a Watch Dog circuit, that constantly
monitors the microprocessor.
As long as the panel has power and is operating
normally, the Watch Dog LED (DS1) on the circuit
board will flash. If the Watchdog circuit detects a failure, it will attempt
to reset the panel.

longer flashes, call the C&K Technical Support Hotline at 1-800-
227-8065 in the U.S. or your local C&K Representative.

WARNING: This device is intended to be installed by a profes-
sional alarm installer.

areas, the sum of the RENs devices should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the
number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should
call your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.
Should you experience trouble with the telephone lines, disconnect the equipment from
the line to determine the source of the trouble. If it is determined that the equipment is
malfunctioning, discontinue its use until the malfunction has been corrected. Any repairs
or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the
telephone company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment. Repairs to this
equipment should be made by an authorized agent of C&K Systems, Inc. Contact your
local alarm installation company for service.
Should this equipment cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may
temporarily discontinue your service. If possible, they will provide you with advance no-
tice. Otherwise they will notify you as soon as possible. The telephone company will also

affect the operation of your equipment, allowing you the opportunity to maintain uninter-
rupted service. You will also be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
