We recommend testing your alarm system regularly to ensure there are no issues. Please make sure you are aware of your verification word before proceeding.
- Arm your alarm system and leave the premises.
- Wait outside for the alarm system to be fully armed. You will know once it is armed as the beeping will stop.
- Re-enter the premises without disarming your alarm system. This will cause an activation and your alarm will siren. Please note this will be very loud. If there are any specific areas you would like to test, you can move infront of these sensors or open and close doors and windows.
- Disarm the alarm after 30 seconds by entering your code or swiping your keytag against the reader indent on the keypad.
- The Alarm Receiving Centre will contact you and confirm your verification word. Please note, you may receive an SMS confirming the activation if the alarm is disarmed too quickly. If this happens, rest assured the signal was still received and all is fine with your alarm system.

The PhoneWatch TC and the Domonial systems have GSM connection (similar to a SIM card) and Internet connection. There is no problem if you are going to change the telephone line.

In case of power outage, the internal battery of your alarm will keep it on. The Alarm Receiving Center will contact you in case the power is off for a long time.
Please remember the alarm will still work because of the internal battery of the Central Unit.
You can also activate notifications for the electrical issues in your telephone through PhoneWatch App settings.
PhoneWatch will protect your privacy. The Alarm Receiving Center will only have access to the pictures taken by the PIR Motion Sensor with Camera if that sets off the alarm. If the alarm is not activated or there is no alarm signal, the camera will not take any picture by itself.
The images will be used solely as aids in the management of alarm activation. Thus, in order to evaluate and determine the cause of an activation. Only the Alarm Receiving Center Operators will have access to the images received.

Yes, you can have pets when you have a home alarm. If you have pets under 18 kg, it would be enough to adapt the motion detectors to this.
On the latest alarm types, such a pet adaptation can be done free of charge via remote programming from our technical department. For older alarm systems, the motion detectors must be replaced with pet-friendly detectors.
For more information about pet adaptation and shell protection, please contact our customer service via chat .
When your alarm is activated you should receive a response from our Alarm Receiving Center via phone or SMS. If this does not happen, there may be various reasons why your alarm system does not get in contact with the Alarm Receiving Center.
If that's the case please contact us through our chatbot Cara
If you see a warning light on your keypad, an error may have occurred in the alarm system. This could be due to a problem with the battery or power supply, for example, or because of a problem with sensor monitoring, an error with the GSM / GPRS or interferences.
The user manual that came with your alarm system will provide a more detailed description of what may be necessary measures to rectify a fault. In cases where the instruction manual does not answer what you are wondering about, we ask you to contact our customer support chat .
If you make any changes to the telephony system, you must inform us about this and test your alarm system. Before you go on a trip, it is appropriate to test the alarm. This should be done before your departure so that we can check possible issues.
All customers are otherwise responsible for testing the alarm regularly, preferably once a quarter. This is easily done by triggering the alarm and waiting for a call from the alarm station.
Please note: Never test the panic alarm.
Batteries are covered by a 3 year warranty from date of installation, if you have a battery fault please contact Customer Support where they can assess they reason for the fault.
Batteries are considered consumables and are therefore not covered by the product warranty. There is a cost of €95 for 1-9 batteries and €150 for anything over 9 batteries. PhoneWatch's policy is to replace all batteries when one goes outside of warranty as, in our experience, when one starts to go they may all go in a short space of time. We replace all batteries including your panel battery and then guarantee the batteries for 3 years so if one goes in this time-frame we replace it free of charge.
Systems installed from 2014 may be applicable to receive batteries sent via post which you can change yourself. You can find battery change video tutorials on our page How to change batteries.
