You should have the following for proper operation of your GSM Alarm System.

1) Your GSM Alarm System, with the Main Unit, Remote Control, Sensors, a Power Adapter, USB Cable and mounting accessories.

2) A micro SD Card, up to 32GB. You can order a compatible card from SafetyBasement.com. Should you already have an SD card, please be sure it has been erased.

3) A cellular SIM card. A compatible card is available from SafetyBasement.com. Please check with SafetyBasement for SIM card requirement before using another card. ANY SIM card will require a monthly fee.

4) A small Phillips head screwdriver.

5) 3 AAA batteries for wireless PIR unit.

Slide DOWN to LOCK



POWER & CELLULAR SIGNALInsert the power adapter plug into the Main Unit.

The Charging Light should be RED. It will remain red for some time until the backup battery is fully charged.

Turn the Main Unit ON.

Look at the Status Light under the Camera Lense.

Shortly, the Status Light will blink 3 times, every 2.5 seconds. This means that the Main Unit has found a cellular signal and is working properly.

If the status light does not blink like this within 2 minutes, turn off the unit and check the installation of your SD and SIM Cards.

Try again. If the unit does not blink 3 times, every 2.5 seconds, try moving the unit to an area where there may be a better signal.

Try moving on to the next step of this setup to see if you are connected.

If you are unable to connect, you should check to make sure your SIM Card has been properly activated. Contact SafetyBasement or your cellular provider.

STATUS LIGHT



Your SIM Card has a phone number. You will need this phone number to text or call your GSM Alarm System. Please write this number down. When using the phone number, you will enter an 11 digit number, such as 12345551234. That’s 1, followed by your Area Code, then phone number with NO spaces.

CHECK THE TIME

DEFAULT PASSWORD IS258000

We will be using standard text messages to communicate with the GSM Alarm system. Use your standard text app as you would when texting anyone. TIP! Once you know how to work your GSM Alarm System, use your text app and keyboard shortcuts to making talking to your system as easy as possible. Refer to your phone and text app instructions for shortcuts.A list of codes is at the end of this manual.

ALARM NUMBER IS

MY PASSWORD IS

258000#200# Send this text to the phone number of your SIM card.

>>System time: 16:47 Your alarm should reply within a few seconds with the system time. The time is always on a 24 hour clock / military time.

If the system is not responding, check the format of your text. Make sure you are sending to the complete phone number, 11 digits, no spaces.Your text should also have NO spaces.



SET THE TIME

258000#03*1700# Send this text to the phone number of your SIM card. In this example, we are setting the clock to 5pm, 1700.

>>Ok, setting successfullyIf you enter the wrong password, the system will not respond as a security feature.

If you enter the correct password, but something is wrong with the format of your command, the system will tell you.

We may need to set the time of day. Remember, the alarm uses a 24 hour clock, military time.

>>Format error, please input the right command!

SET THE LANGUAGE

Note the full 11 digit phone number. Remember, this must be a number that accepts text messages.

NOTE! From now on, we’ll be using “PASS” rather than a number in the examples. Use your new password here.

PASS#200# Test the new password. Request the current time.

>>System time: 17:27



CONNECT A WINDOW SENSOR

We’re going to connect a sensor, then name it. You will follow this guide for each sensor device you want to add. The system can accept up to 8 sensors. You can give each sensor a name, such as “Garage” or “Kids Room.”

We’ll start with a Door / Window Sensor. These work by detecting when the magnet has been pulled out of range of the sensor.

In the setup we’ve been following, the PIR Sensor was added as the 2nd device, #2. We are going to name Device #2. We’re going to place this sensor in the garage, so let’s name the device “Garage.”

Your Sensor Name CAN include spaces, but your total text message should be less than 48 characters.

NAME THE PIR SENSOR

Now, following the previous steps, continue to add up to 8 devices to your system, until complete.



PASS#80*Alarm At Home!#

TIP! Aim the Motion Sensors in the general area you want to detect motion in. Avoid pointing at areas that have frequent movement, such as aquariums.

TIP! Keep this manual handy, and write down your SIM #, PASSWORD and the order of your wireless devices. This will make naming them easier later.

TIP! Remember, the system power switch must be OFF to connect via USB.

TIP! Remember, the system power switch must be ON for any of the functions to work.



VIEWING THE VIDEO

USB PORT on Main Unit

The Alarm System records 640x480 video when the alarm is activated. The videos are saved as files on the SD Card you installed earlier. You can play these files back on your Windows or Mac PC.

1. On the main unit, set the power switch to OFF. The Main Unit must be OFF to access the video files.

2. Plug the small end of the included USB cable into the USB PORT on the Main Unit.3. Plug the other, wide end, of the USB cable into a spare port on your Windows or Mac PC.4. As with any external device, wait for the Main Unit drive to “mount” onto your system This

may take a moment. In some cases, your system may install standard drivers to access the SD Card. This is normal.

5. Your computer will “mount” 2 drives; MainDVD.ISO and UNTITLED. IGNORE MainDVD.ISO.

6. Click on UNTITLED. You may need to Double-Click.7. Inside is another folder called RECORD. Your recorded video files are in this folder. Click or

Double-click to access.8. COPY these files to your main PC for smoother playback, and for archiving.9. You may DELETE the files from this RECORD folder.10. If you DELETE, you must EMPTY YOUR TRASH before removing your Main Unit from

your PC.11. UNMOUNT the 2 folders from your system BEFORE you disconnect the Main Unit from

your PC. You UNMOUNT by (PC) Right-Clicking on Drive, choose REMOVE.

PROBLEMS PLAYING VIDEO?Your videos should play using the built-in video players that come with your Mac or Windows PC. However, should you run into a problem, please try VLC. This free program can play nearly any video file. If VLC is not able to play the file, the file is most likely corrupt and unplayable.VLC can be downloaded here: http://www.videolan.org
