should immediately test the Brink’s system’s transmission capability by following the directions
in this manual. If the transmission is not successful, call Brink’s Customer Care at
1-800-445-0872. It may be necessary for Brink’s to install a filter provided by your DSL
company in connection with Brink’s control panel. Note that although installation of the filter
will generally allow communication, due to the nature of DSL service the Brink’s system will
not be able to communicate if your telephone is in use or otherwise off the hook.

7 for description of dialer cable and RJ-block.) This disconnects
the Brink’s alarm system from your telephone line. The RJ block
is located on the side of the panel or inside of the panel.

1-800-445-0872 for assistance. Customer Service is available
24 hours a day, seven days a week.
5. If the telephone is still not working properly, the problem is not the
alarm system. 
PLUG THE DIALER CABLE BACK INTO THE RJ-
BLOCK. Notify your local telephone company for service. Until
the telephone service is restored, no alarm signals can be
sent to the Brink’s Monitoring Center, but the system will still
work within your home. It is very important to resolve this
problem quickly to ensure your home continues to be
monitored.
