Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: If I have an answering machine turned on will I be able to call in to arm/disarm the host?
A1: No, please be sure to turn off the answering machine on the telephone for the alarm host to be able to receive incoming
calls. The fact that most answering machines will answer within 6 or 7 rings and our Air-Alarm system requires about
15 seconds in order to receive incoming signals and allow arm/disarm, the answering machine will pick up the signal
before Air-Alarm host if the answering machine is not turned off while away from home.
Q2: How can I tell if my Air-Alarm is correctly armed before leaving home?
A2: Please make sure to arm the alarm host and check to see if the blue LED light comes on armed, once certain then leave
home. From the moment it is armed, there will be 40 seconds to 1 minute delay time to leave home depending on the
dwell time setup.
Q3: My siren is not loud enough; I could barely hear them when I am standing outside?
A3: Install the siren closer to the windows, open space, add more indoor sirens or add an outdoor siren for louder siren sound.
Q4: Do the antennas on the Air-Alarm system have to be extended outward for normal use?
A4: No, extending the antennas outward may not be necessary if the area of installation has adequate reception. However,
in an area with weak reception, extending the antenna will provide maximum performance.
Q5: Does the Air-Alarm support dial-in to arm/disarm if it is installed behind a multiple line digital phone system?
A5: No. Currently Air-AlarmII series can only function through a dedicated phone line, such as; a PSTN (Public Switched
Telephone Line), home phone line (aka. POTS - plain old telephone service). Air-Alarm do not support VOIP (Voice Over
Internet Protocol) digital telephone service.
Q6: My Air-Alarm Host intermittently sounds off the alarm during disarm mode?
A6: Please switch the power on the left side of the Alarm Host to the OFF position and disconnect the power jack from
the Host. Wait for several minutes and then plug the power jack back into the Alarm Host and switch the power to
the ON position.
Q7:The Air-Alarm was working and now the wireless devices will not trigger the Alarm Host?
A7: Please follow the “To Add:” instructions for each device and add all the wireless devices back to allow synchronization
with the Alarm Host.
Q8: When I switch on my PIr motion sensor it continuously triggers the Alarm Host even when the Host is not armed?
A8: Turn OFF the PIR sensor, open the cover of the PIR sensor, place the PIR sensor towards a wall to avoid fault triggering,
reference pg12 of the manual “To Add:” the PIR sensor again to zone 11 (default zone for PIR sensor).
