Temperature Guard VM500-3 Frequently Asked Questions
DSL: If your home has DSL, you must use a DSL filter with your VM500-3. This is included in the box.
How to use the Temperature Guard
Locate the Temperature Guard (TG) in the area where you want to monitor the temperature.
Plug in the phone line and power pack and then turn the TG on.
Call the TG from another phone, or cell phone.
Follow the spoken instructions and the manual to program at least the following items: The phone number(s) where you want the TG to call you in case of emergencies.The upper and lower temperature limits.
Hang up by pressing the "0" key until the TG says "Good-bye".
That's it. The TG is now monitoring your home or business!
What happens when the temperature goes out of programmed limits? 1) The TG 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 TG will say, "Warning the temperature is xx degrees. Please enter you PIN number." xx is the temperature in degrees F. If an answering machine answers, the TG will wait until your greeting message is over, and then it will leave the "Warning..." message. 3) The TG will wait for a valid PIN number. 4) If a valid PIN number is entered, then the TG will stop making emergency phone calls. 5) If a valid PIN number is not entered or an answering machine answers, then the TG will continue making emergency phone calls with the second programmed phone number. 6) Once all the programmed phone numbers have been called the TG will wait twenty 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 back to within limits. 8) If a new alarm condition occurs, steps 1 through 7 are repeated again.
Can a Temperature 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 Temperature Guard to answer the phone on the 5th ring.
To access the Temperature 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 Temperature 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.

I purchased a Temperature 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.
How do I reset the max and min temperature readings on my Temperature Guard model VM500-3 (and humidity readings on a VM500-3HT)?
To reset all max and min values on your unit, press 9 at the main menu. This option is NOT spoken.
Pressing 9 will set the max and min readings to the current temperature (and current relative humidity on models equipped with humidity sensing).
