Installing a Line Grabber Module
Additional phones and equipment that share the same line can interfere with the panel's capabil-
ity to send an emergency call. If your customer has additional phones or equipment on the same
line, consider installing a Line Grabber module (60-978) on each phone jack (refer to Figure 3).
The Line Grabber module disconnects any device that is in use and allows an emergency call to
be sent to the monitoring station.
¾
To install a Line Grabber module:
1. Plug one end of the phone cord (included with module) into a home phone jack.
2. Plug the opposite end of the phone cord into the Line Grabber's right jack.
3. Using a second phone cord, plug one end into the Line Grabber's left jack.
4. Plug the opposite end of the second phone cord into the desired device.
• Follow Steps 1-4 to install a Line Grabber on each phone jack that shares the same line.
Note
For DSL subscribers, install a DSL microfilter between the Line Grabber and the phone jack. Contact
your local cable provider to receive a DSL microfilter.
