Note: The registration process will require you to provide the 
unique serial number of your SafeScout monitoring unit, 
wireless siren and keyfob. These serial numbers are located on 
the back of the corresponding unit. They are also listed on the 
side of the box and the SafeScout Quick Installation Guide. 
Please note that the person who is registered as the “owner” on 
the contact page will have the ultimate authority in making 
future changes. 

 

Please enter the required information to complete the 
registration process. Be sure to make note of any passcodes you 
have entered. 

 

3. Complete the Service Agreement

 

   

 

Find the service agreement and the self-addressed envelope in 
the SafeScout package.   

 

Sign at the bottom on the front of the service agreement.  

 

Place the service agreement in the self addressed stamped 
envelope and mail it to Sentinel Vision. 

 

Your warranty will be extended to a total of two (2) years if 
your agreement is received with in 30 days of registration. 

 

 

4. System Test

 

 

 

(You MUST register prior to moving to this phase of  system 
test.) 

 

The system test requires the telephone line to be free to 
communicate. 

 

Press the grey “Test” button (see Figure A on page 4) on the 
back of the SafeScout monitoring unit to force connect to 
Sentinel Vision and register your SafeScout. Note: If your 
telephone system requires that you dial an 8 or 9 prior to making 
a call, refer to “Dial out with 8 or 9” in the detailed product 
instruction section on page 14. 

 

Your SafeScout monitoring unit will announce “Connecting to 
Sentinel Vision” and begin to sound a series of beeps. After 
approximately 1-3 minutes you will hear, “System is registered” 
from the SafeScout monitoring unit, letting you know that your 
unit has communicated and received the information and that 
you have registered successfully.

5. Using Your System

 

 

Position your system using the view guide at the top of the 
SafeScout monitoring unit to find the desired viewing angle. 
The SafeScout monitoring unit has a 63-degree angle of view, 
which will protect an area up to 40 feet by 40 feet.  There is also 
a clear U-shaped mounting bracket enclosed if you wish to 
angle the SafeScout monitoring unit up or down, mount it to a 
wall, ceiling or under a kitchen cabinet. 

 

There are two methods by which you can arm and disarm your 
system: Either use the keypad on top of the SafeScout 
monitoring unit or use the remote keyfob. To arm your system, 
simply enter your code, followed by the # key (for example, 
enter “1234#”) or press and hold the “arm” (lock closed) button 
on the keyfob. Once the SafeScout is armed, you will hear, 
“System is arming” from the SafeScout monitoring unit. You 
will also hear a series of beeps from the wireless remote siren. 
This “exit delay” will allow you 30 seconds to leave the 
protected area. If you move in the protected area after the exit 
delay beeps have stopped you will cause the SafeScout to trip 
and send an alert.  

 

If you re-enter the protected area and your SafeScout is armed, 
you will hear your remote siren beeping during the SafeScout’s 
30-second entry delay time. To disarm your system, enter your 
passcode followed by the # key. For example, enter “1234#” or 
press the “disarm” (lock open) button on your keyfob. The siren 
should stop sounding when you disarm the system. If the siren 
does not stop beeping, try entering your passcode followed by 
the # key a second time. Once the system is disarmed, the 
SafeScout monitoring unit will state, “System is disarmed.” 

 

If you do not enter your passcode to disarm your system within 
the 30 second entry delay, the SafeScout will initiate an alert 
and the wireless siren will start sounding loudly for 
approximately five minutes.  

 

You can always disarm your system at any time by entering in 
your passcode or using the remote keyfob.
