VERIFY PACKAGE CONTENTS
UNPACKING
Inspect this device before it is used. Occasionally,
products are damaged during shipment. If the device or
components are damaged, contact customer service at
1-877-9RIDGID.
STEP 2
(a) CHECK SIGNAL STRENGTH
(b) INSTALL BATTERIES
(c) CHECK NETWORK CONNECTION
a. Before installing your AdvanTEXT device, you will need
to check the signal strength/reception in your basement.
To do this, plug in the A/C power plug into a functional
A/C outlet. A solid green status light indicates you
have cellular reception (this can take up to 1 minute). If
instead of a solid green light you receive either:
1) A flashing green light that does not turn to solid green,
you have sufficient cellular reception but your online
activation process (Step 3) may take longer, up to 45
minutes.
2) A red light, this could mean insufficient cellular signal.
Refer to the troubleshooting guide and go online and
check the Verizon wireless 3G coverage map:

b. Next, turn the device "off" by pressing and holding the
power button (MUTE) for 3-5 seconds, the status light
will begin to flash green rapidly as it powers down. The
flashing green status light will turn off indicating power is
off. Install (4) AA batteries by opening the battery door on
the back of the unit. Align the negative (-) end of the
battery to the spring in each holder. (Figure C)
The battery door latch may be tight and seem
difficult to open. This is intentional and to
ensure the batteries are secured properly inside the device during
normal operation.

c. Plug in the A/C power plug, turn the unit back on, wait
for the status light to turn solid green (or blinking green
as described in 2.a.1.) indicating network connection.

1. A receipt for your credit card purchase. (if you do not
receive this email, check your spam folder).
2. An activation email containing your device telephone
number that you will need to complete the
setup process. This process takes on average, 1-5
minutes for the activation email to arrive. If you
received a flashing green light as described in step
2.a.1., it may take up to 45 minutes for the activation
email to arrive.
a. Once you have recorded the device phone number
from your activation email, you will also need to
save this as a contact in your phone. You can name
this anything you want. For example "My Sump Pit" or
your street address for easy identification.
a. Mount the AdvanTEXT device to the sump pump
discharge pipe a minimum of 4 ft. above the sump
cover using (2) of the hose clamps included. (Figure E)
The AdvanTEXT device can also be mounted to an
interior wall. (Figure F) Mounting to an exterior wall,
nearer to dirt or earth ground, can reduce cellular
signal.
