Frequently Asked Questions
What about my pets?
Pets and motion sensors can live together. If you use
the motion sensor with the pet in close proximity it
probably will set off the sensor. Use the test light on
the Guard Dog phone to discover for yourself the
sensitivity of your pet(s), then devise a strategy which
allows the Guard Dog phone to function without pet
interference; you may find that pointing it in a
specific direction or slightly raising the unit solves
the problem.
How does the Self Test function help me?
The test switch on the Guard Dog phone powers the green
LED light near it. It tells the operator instantly when
the motion sensor detects something (light comes on).
Teh light stays during a timed period (the listening
period) then the phone would disconnect (light off),
now, light is off and the Guard Dog phone is instantly
re-armed for the next detection. Knowing how to use
this function allows the operator to discover the exact
perameter and sensitivity of the motion sensor within
their personal environment. Operational tip:
Unplug the phone line. Now the Guard Dog phone
will show LED light "on" for detection and light "off"
for disconnect and reset without calling. Always
remember that the first time you turn the Guard
Dog phone power "on" it takes 60 seconds to arm but the
LED will turn off at 30 seconds. You must wait 30
seconds after the light has gone off before the Guard
Dog phone is armed (only the first time.) Thereafter,
when the light goes off, the Guard Dog phone is
instantly armed.
What if I hear a burglary?
First, be grateful you're not there. Thankfully you are
listening from a remote location. Never attempt to
apprehend criminals. This could be very dangerous! If
professional assistance is required, call 911 and
explain clearly "I am the property owner/manager and I
have a security system that called me and I am able to
listen to sounds at that location. Presently someone is
burglarizing that space. This is a verified alarm."
Now, provide the authorities with as much detailed
information as you can to assist them in their task.
How do I know my best use of my Guard Dog phone?
Simple, think like an intruder. If an intruder entered,
where would he come from (34% come through the front
door), where would he go? What's he want? Predicting
this movement should dictate the Guard Dog phone's
position in the room. First place the Guard Dog phone
in the best place, lastly run the cords. Use extension
cords if necessary. |
