General Warnings on Remote
Notification and the Comm Link
WARNING: This device is for remote notification only. It
is not a life safety device, and should not be relied upon by
occupants for an immediate warning to fire or other hazards.
ALARMS AND SENSORS CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL
NEVER SUFFER ANY ILLNESS OR INJURY FROM POTENTIAL
SAFETY HAZARDS IN THE HOME
WARNING: While the Comm Link and OmniShield branded
products are designed to produce cell phone and Internet
based warning messages, many factors can and will affect
their ability to do so. Things such as a poor internet
connection, poor cell phone reception, cell phones turned off,
cell phones out of battery, sensors placed out of range, power
outages, etc., will prevent proper messaging.
WARNING: Loss of electrical power or Internet connection
will render the unit inoperative
NOTICE: Smoke, CO, Heat Alarms, Water Sensors, Bed
Shakers and Comm Links are not substitutes for an adequate
homeowner’s fire/property insurance policy.
WARNING: Alarm warning signals may not be heard. A deep
sleeper, hearing-impaired person, young child or someone
impaired by drugs or alcohol may not awaken in response to
an alarm activation. This can occur even when an alarm is
located inside the individual’s bedroom. Be sure emergency
exit drills are practiced that take this possibility into account.
WARNING: This product is intended for use in ordinary
indoor locations of family living units.
WARNING: Radio communication between alarm units
may fail to take place if significant changes to the home have
occurred since installation and testing. Moving large objects
such as a refrigerator or metal cabinet could impede sensor
radio performance.
6
Acceptable Radio Network Spacing
Each sensor will also act as a repeating
station during alarm conditions, so any signal
received by a device will be rebroadcasted.
After final installation, test all alarms
for proper radio inter-connection.
Simply press and release the test
button of an alarm while having a
helper observe the remote alarms.
Maximum
Spacing in
Open Area
200’ (70m)
The sensor-to-sensor radio communi-
cates using radio frequencies between
905.2MHz and 913.2MHz. The range of
this radio has been tested to 200 ft (70m)
in open area distance testing. The Comm
Link’s WiFi communicates at 2.4GHz,
which produces a shorter range when
used indoors.
Choosing the Right Internet Connection
Setting up with Ethernet requires the use of
an Ethernet cord. A 3ft. cord is included with
the Comm Link. A longer cord may be used
if required.
Ethernet
With its hardwired connection to the home’s
router, Ethernet provides the most reliable
connection for the Comm Link.
WiFi
It is best to locate the Comm Link as centrally
within the home as possible. This will reduce
the distance between the Comm Link and
any installed sensors. Shorter distances
produce better radio communication.
WiFi offers the freedom to place the Comm
Link in more convenient locations.
Be sure to fully test the entire OmniShield network after
completing installation. It is important that all devices are
able to communicate properly with each other and the
Comm Link to the Internet.

Setting Up Your New Comm Link
Now that you’re familiar with your new Comm Link, let’s get
started setting up your OmniShield network!
Download the OmniShield App
The OmniShield App is available for free to iOS
users at the Apple App Store, or at Google Play for
Android users. Search “OmniShield”. Open the
App.
Connect to Power
After selecting the best location for the Comm
Link, plug the DC Jack connector into the Comm
Link and the AC adapter into the wall outlet.
Select Your Internet Connection
Select the “WiFi” or “Ethernet” button on the App.
If Ethernet is selected, plug the provided white
cable into the Comm Link and the other end into
your Internet router.
Enter Your Serial No. / Security Key
Enter the Serial Number and Security Key found on
the label on the back of the Comm Link. The letters
in the Security Key must be entered in UPPER CASE.
If you chose the WiFi option, first select your
Comm Link’s WiFi, then select your home’s WiFi
network and enter your WiFi password. Be sure to
know both before you start (often printed on your
home router’s label).

OmniShield App Basics
Sensors and Device Main Page
This page presents the entire list of sensors,
devices and Comm Links that are installed on your
OmniShield network. Each device can be selected
to display the unit’s info page. Each device can be
given a custom name to describe its location.
Your OmniShield App is loaded with features that will help keep
you informed as to the status of your network’s sensors. Below is
a description of the four main icons on the App’s tab bar located
at the bottom of your screen.
The person acting as the primary contact will be required to
include an email address.
A maximum of eight contacts are allowed.
Each contact will have the option to select the various types
of messages they are to receive. All contacts will receive all
emergency notifications.
If a contact responds to a system generated text message, all
other listed contacts will receive the response. For example: “Sorry
folks...I was just cooking some bacon. All is good”.
General App Note: Selecting the symbol found throughout
the App will produce an Information Box explaining the feature in
more detail.

These warning icons can appear to the right of
the sensor’s name to indicate an alarm condition.
The icon will be in color if active, gray if the alarm
condition cleared within the last three days.

Silencing Water Sensors
Comm Link Functions
Testing the Comm Link
The Comm Link should be tested
monthly to ensure proper operation.
To test the unit, press and release the
button on the front face.
All active water sensors on the network will respond with
a tone if within range.
The CFCL10 is equipped with a silence
feature that can remotely silence the water
sensors on the network.
If during normal operation the unit is triggered,
and all
appropriate precautions are being taken,
the remote water
sensors can be silenced by pressing the button on the front face of
the unit. This will cause a text message to be sent.
The silence feature will only silence
remotely triggered sensors. The initiating
water sensor condition must be
resolved to stop the alarm.
Pressing the test button on any sensor on the network will cause a
text message to be sent.
