ADDITIONAL SAFETY NOTES FOR CANADIAN USERS
The following items are included as part of the CS‐03 Requirements. The standard connecting arrangement for
the equipment is CA11A. This product meets the applicable Industry Canada technical specifications.
NOTE: The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This certification
means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective operational and safety
requirements. The Department does not guarantee that the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of
the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of
connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be
extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be
aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by
the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may
give the telecommunications company cause to request the user disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility,
telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution
may be particularly important in rural areas.
Warning: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate. The Ringer Equivalent Number is an
indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The
termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that
the sum of the Ringer Equivalent Number of all the devices not exceed five.

3. Lamp Control
Press the center LAMP CONTROL button to turn the AlertMaster AL11’s lamp on and off. In order for the control to
work, ensure that the lamp is turned on prior to plugging the lamp jack into the back of the AL11.
CHANNEL SETTINGS
The AlertMaster AL11 uses radio signals to communicate between the console unit and all of its
accessories. For the accessories (Doorbell, Door Announcer) to activate the base unit, they all have to be
on the same “channel.” A “DIP switch” is used for channel selection.
Your system and all the accessories have been preset in the factory to a standard channel setting. Under
normal operating conditions, no adjustment is necessary.
If your system encounters interference and repeatedly activates itself for no obvious reason, it may be triggered
by a system nearby in your neighborhood.
If the interference from another AlertMaster Notification System or other wireless source is present, change
channel switch settings on all components.

1. Unplug AC cord and locate DIP switches on the back of the AL11 base unit. Lift rubber cover to access
the switch.
2. Open the battery compartment of the doorbell to access DIP switches.
3. Change the switch position of each switch on both units using a ballpoint pen to slide the switches to
different settings. All settings need to be identical for the system to work.
4. Unplug and change the switch settings on each of your other accessories (Remote Receiver, Door
Announcer, etc.) to match the new channel setting of the AL11 base unit and doorbell.
5. Replace covers and return accessories to their proper place.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
Important Information for Customers
PART 68 OF FCC RULES INFORMATION
This AL11 Notification System complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by
the ACTA. On the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product
identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the
telephone company.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must
comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant
telephone cord and modular plug, RJ11 USOC, is provided with this product. It is designed to be

In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of
devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone
company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product
identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a
decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
If this telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify
you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn’t
practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised
of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that
could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens the telephone company will provide
advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this telephone equipment, for repair or warranty information, please
contact Clarity, 800‐426‐3738. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the
telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.
This telephone equipment is not intended to be repaired and it contains no repairable parts. Opening
the equipment or any attempt to perform repairs will void the warranty. For service or repairs, call
800‐426‐3738.
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission,
public service commission or corporation commission for information.

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the
installation of this telephone equipment does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions
about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
This telephone equipment is hearing aid compatible.
Customer‐Owned Coin/Credit Card Phones
To comply with state tariffs, the telephone company must be given notification prior to connection. In
some states, the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission
must give prior approval of connection.
PART 15 OF FCC RULES INFORMATION
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Your AL11 Notification System has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital

there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation; if this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following
measures:
1. Where it can be done safely, reorient the receiving television or radio antenna.
2. To the extent possible, relocate the television, radio or other receiver with respect to the telephone
equipment. (This increases the separation between the telephone equipment and the receiver.)
3. Connect the telephone equipment into an outlet on a circuit difference from that to which the
television, radio, or other receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer responsible for
