## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work with a cable land line?  i have comcast (phone only, no tv or internet} and run my telepone into their router/modem**
A: As long as you have phone dial out Line it will work.

**Q: Does this monitor come will all wiring; phone and power adapters?**
A: I don't know.  I bought one that looked just like this about two years ago.  It came with a power supply and a telephone wire.  I connected the monitor to the phone line jack with the included new phone line, then connected the monitor to our phone (instead of to the phone jack).  Then I connected the power supply to a wall outlet and plugged it into the monitor.  You will need a wall outlet near a phone jack, and a telephone to make it work.  It took about an hour to install and program.  Your phone will still work normally.  Write your password on the included directions, then hang the directions on a nail in the wall.  Circle the "How to turn off the alarm" directions on the monitor.

**Q: so...do you set the minimum temp at which you want the monitor to call you?  Does it call if the power goes out?**
A: I agree with everything "cavebiker" says. No way to set temperature alarm point, battery backup for power outages. However if phone line goes down then all bets are off. I have had it for 3yrs and always tests fine but have had a true emergency alarm.

**Q: Do I need a splitter to hook in to my phone?**
A: Hello and thank you for reaching out! The THP217 jack labeled “LINE” should connect directly to a wall phone jack, with no splitter.  If you want a telephone at the same location and the THP217 is using the wall phone jack, the telephone can connect to the other jack on the THP217 labeled “TEL”. It’s ok to use a splitter on the “TEL” jack but not between the THP217 and the wall phone jack.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good value
  

*by S***D on Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2012*

I found this monitor to be a very cost effective soltuion to give you peace of mind when you are away from home. It is simple to set up and has a test feature so you know you have it set properly. So far it has worked perfectly everytime I have tested it. It has battery backup if the power goes out as that is often the cause of the furnace failure as well. Fortunately, I haven't needed it in a real situation but I am sure it will work well. I have also been asked to "babysit" other peoples homes while they are on vacation. I just set this up on their phone line and I don't need to be constantly worrying that their furnace may have gone out between visual inspections. The only drawback is that you must have an active landline, so for those that use their cell phones as their home phone, I don't know if or how you could set it up to work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    It requires some programming, but works as it should
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2013*

This device gives great peace of mind.  Once installed, it will call out to distant phone numbers when temperature inside the house drops below a preset level.  Programming is a bit tricky, but the instructions are complete.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Give it time
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2013*

I bought this because my insurer (homeowners) required it.  It is as advertised and was easy to install.  I gave it only 3 stars, however, because it really hasn't been tested.  The temperature in my house did not fall to a dangerous low.  So it remains untried.
