Home Guard VM500-2 Frequently Asked Questions
DSL If your home has DSL, you must use a DSL filter with your VM500-2. A filter comes with each unit.
How does the Home Guard work? 1) Locate the HG in the area where you want to monitor the temperature. 2) Plug in the phone line and power pack and then turn the HG on. 3) Call the HG from another phone, or cell phone. 4)
Follow the spoken instructions and the manual to program the phone
number (s) where you want the HG to call you in case of emergencies. 5) Press the "0" key and hang up the phone. 6) That's it. The HG is now monitoring your home!
What happens when the temperature goes below 45 degrees? 1) The HG begins to make emergency phone calls starting with the primary phone number. 2)
If a person or answering machine answers the phone at the primary phone
number, then the HG will say, "Warning the temperature is 45 degrees.
Please enter you PIN number." 3) The HG will wait for a valid PIN number. 4) If a valid PIN number is entered, then the HG will stop making emergency phone calls. 5) If a valid PIN number is not entered, then the HG will call the second programmed phone number. 6)
Once all of the programmed phone numbers have been called, the HG will
wait fifteen minutes and begin making phone calls starting with the
primary number. 7) Steps 1) through 6) are repeated until someone enters a valid PIN number or the temperature goes above 45 degrees.
Can a Home Guard and an answering machine share the same line? Yes,
most answering machines answer the phone on the 4th ring. To have the
answering machine answer the phone, program the Home Guard to answer the
phone on the 5th ring. To access the Home Guard, call your home and
let the phone ring 3 times. Hang up and wait 20 seconds. Call your
home again and on the 2nd ring the Home Guard will answer.
What do I need to do to store my unit when I am not going to use it for a long time? Make
sure you turn off your unit for storage. When you are ready to use it
again, plug it in a few days before you need it to allow the battery to
fully charge.
I purchased a Home Guard last year. Is there anything that I need to do to get it ready for this winter? Charge the battery prior to leaving, by plugging the Guard in allowing it to charge for several days.
