Important Considerations
Install this kit in one home only. Do not reuse for another client.
Plug all devices directly into wall outlets.
Do not use outlets controlled by wall switches.
Do not leave the home until activation is confirmed by support.
Text Before You Begin
Once you arrive at the client home, text 1-716-903-3992 — a specialist
will confirm placement for your specific home before you begin.
Have the following ready:
- 6-Digit Kit ID

- Installation address
have communicated with support.
Install the LTE Router
Your support specialist will confirm router placement
during the Step 1 call. General guidelines:
Bend all 4 antennas straight up. Do not force past vertical.
Place in a central location on an elevated surface, ideally near a window.
Keep at least 2 feet from other electronics (TV, cable box, other Wi-Fi router, power supplies).
Plug the power cord into the router, then plug the adapter into a wall outlet.
Power light should turn on. If not: confirm outlet has power or try a different outlet.
Wait 2–3 minutes for the router to connect before proceeding to Step 3.
No LTE Signal? We will suggest you
use Ethernet Instead
Your specialist will notify you if the LTE connection is
insufficient at this address.
Locate the home’s existing internet router (provided by their ISP).
Plug one end of the ethernet cord into the WAN/Internet port on the Lifeguard router.
Plug the other end into any available LAN port on the home’s internet router.
Router Separation — Important
Keep the two routers at least 2 feet apart. Do not stack or place on the same shelf.
Install the Hub
Your specialist will confirm hub placement during
the Step 1 call.
Place the hub in the same room as the router.
For larger homes, the specialist may advise a more central location.
Plug directly into a wall outlet.
Flashing red = connecting
Solid blue = connected
Hub still red after 5 minutes? Move it closer to the router.
Hub is ready when the light is solid blue.Install Wi-Fi Motion Plugs
Plugs are labeled by room: Living Room, Bedroom,
Bathroom, Kitchen.
Do NOT press or hold the side button.
Plug into a wall outlet in the matching room.
If there is an available outlet plugs should be placed on an interior wall.
Avoid placing behind large furniture or appliances.
If no outlet is available in the room, use the nearest hallway or adjacent outlet.
Green = connecting
Light off after ~1 minute = connected
Move plug to an outlet closer to the router.

Mount each sensor on the moving part of the door.

Press firmly for 10 seconds.
Install Humidity Sensor
