•close to a telephone jack so you can easily connect the tele- phone dialer

•central to the doors/windows you want to protect so all sen- sors are within range of the console (100 feet)

•positioned where you can easily check the zone indicators for any problems, but not where an intruder could easily see it

2.Set the house and unit code dials on the console to A1.

Note: You can set the console to any house code, but you must also set all accessories/sensors to the same house code.
