Safety
Important Safety Rules
The safety alert symbol ( ) is used with a signal
word (DANGER, CAUTION, WARNING), a pictorial
and/or a safety message to alert you to hazards.
DANGER indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury. WARNING indicates a
hazard which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury. CAUTION indicates a hazard which, if
not avoided, might result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE indicates a situation that could result in
equipment damage. Follow safety messages to avoid
or reduce the risk of injury or death.
The manufacturer cannot possibly anticipate every
possible circumstance that might involve a hazard.
The warnings in this manual, and the tags and decals
affixed to the unit are, therefore, not all-inclusive.
If you use a procedure, work method or operating
technique that the manufacturer does not specifically
recommend, you must satisfy yourself that it is safe
for you and others. You must also make sure that the
procedure, work method or operating technique that
you choose does not render the generator unsafe.
Hazard Symbols and Meanings
Electrical Shock
Failure to follow above warning could cause
personal injury, damage and/or malfunction of
equipment.
Low voltage wire cannot be installed in
same conduit as power voltage wiring.
WARNING

IMPORTANT: Read the warranty information and the
FCC statement before using this product.
The performance of local and long distance telephone
lines vary and may affect operation of this equipment.
Therefore, it is important that this equipment be
fully tested after installation to confirm telephone
compatibility. Please see Testing your GenAlert in
Maintenance for complete instructions.
Special Installation Considerations:
This equipment requires a single line telephone,
but does not require this line to be dedicated for
its use.
You must have Touch-Tone® telephone service
for this equipment to properly operate.
This equipment will not work on pulse or rotary
dialing telephone systems.
This equipment may not be compatible with some
PBX (Private Branch eXchange ) or other multi-
line business telephone systems.
A dual plug adapter or “splitter” (not included),
is required only if you share the same phone line
through the connection of a single wall jack.
NOTICE: Connecting this equipment to a commercial
telephone system may cause internal damage to both
systems. This equipment can share a wall phone jack
with a telephone.

•
To prevent possible injury, always de-energize
the generator and transfer switch before making
connections to the generator.
The unit must be installed in accordance
to generally accepted low voltage wiring
techniques.
WARNING
BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM4
IMPORTANT: DO NOT program emergency phone
numbers for the police, fire or other emergency
personnel or departments unless you have specific
approval from such agencies. This equipment does
not identify the location that is calling and therefore
cannot provide an audible notification of what address
this phone call originated from.
Statement of Use
GenAlert is designed to alert you by telephone if your
generator either fails while running or fails to turn on.
GenAlert automatically calls one phone number when
the alarm is triggered and relays a factory recorded
message.
NOTICE: The GenAlert Warranty is VOID unless
the system is installed by a licensed electrical
professional.

Installation
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment
connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation
of your GenAlert Plus does not disable your alarm
equipment. If you have questions about what will
disable alarm equipment, consult your alarm system
installer.
Items Required for Installation
One 9-Volt alkaline or lithium battery
(not included)
Phillips screwdriver (not included)
2 conductor wire
(20 AWG or larger, not included)
A single line telephone jack
The telephone line does not need to be a dedicated
phone jack. A phone can share the jack with GenAlert
through the use of a telephone line splitter (not
included).
Installation
Remove four cover screws (A) from back cover.
Attach the 9V battery to connector (B) and place
battery in the battery compartment (C).

Operation
Programming GenAlert
The programmed telephone number is the number
you want your GenAlert to call if your home standby
generator fails during operation. The phone number
is remembered even if you disconnect the battery and
the phone line from the unit.
You may program up to forty (40) digits in a phone
number. The pound key (E) and star key (C) are used
to program and test GenAlert.
Before programming, make sure your phone line is
connected to GenAlert and the wall telephone jack.
Press and hold the pound key (E) on the
GenAlert’s keypad.
While holding the pound key (E), use the keypad
(B) to enter the telephone number you want
GenAlert to call.
Keep holding down the pound key (E) until the entire
phone number is entered.
