Three simple ways
to manage your
system.
Mobile app
Security is just the start.
Your IntelligentHome system has all kinds
of convenient features you can personalize
to your preference and update or change as
often as you like. Here are just a few.
Customize your touchscreen
Wish you could disguise your touchscreen? You can. Using flickr,® your
touchscreen can double as a digital photo frame.
Turn on the lights
Customer website
Don’t like coming home to a dark house? Use the lighting controls to flip
on entry lights—right before you pull in the driveway.
Adjust your thermostat
In-home touchscreen
When you’re at home, it’s touchscreen-simple.
When you’re away, it’s always accessible.
With IntelligentHome, you get an advanced home management
system designed to keep you and your family safe and comfortable.
You can control everything from thermostat and lighting, to
door chimes and security cameras—all from your touchscreen,
mobile device or secure website. So you have access wherever
you are, whenever you want.

Want to change the temperature so your house is cozy and comfortable
when you get home? You can set the thermostat remotely so it’s just the
way you like it no matter when you get back.
Check news and weather
Wondering what it’s like outside or what’s going on in the world? Use the
apps on your touchscreen to check the weather, news and more before
you leave the house.
Keep an eye on the house
Curious if the dog walker showed up or the kids made it home from school
on time? Take a look at your cameras remotely, or personalize your system
to snap a picture when the door opens.

Here are a few
good-to-know terms.
Security Zones
Security Zones are created with sensors that can detect events in the home,
such as the opening and closing of doors and/or windows, motion, smoke, etc.
Entry/Exit Zone
For doorways that are used to regularly enter/exit the home. When armed
and tripped, these zones start an Entry Delay countdown.
Perimeter Zone
When armed and tripped, the alarm will sound immediately.
24-Hour Inform Zone
When tripped (even if the system is armed), there is never an alarm, but the
event is recorded in the history section of the touchscreen and customer website.
Arming Modes
There are three different modes in which you can arm your security system:
Arm Away
Use when everyone is leaving the house. This activates all of the sensors,
including the motion detectors.
Arm Stay
Use when people are still home and active. The motion detectors are
not armed, but the door and window sensors are armed as usual.
Arm Night
Use if everyone’s home and going to bed. The motion detectors are not
armed. If a door or window in the Entry/Exit Zone is opened, there is no
delay period. The alarm will immediately sound.

FAQ:
Q: What happens when my touchscreen loses power?
Your touchscreen contains a back-up battery, so you will still be connected to the
Emergency Response Center (via cellular network) for approximately 24 hours after
you lose power. To conserve power, your touchscreen will turn off the display until
you touch it, and it will disable features non-essential to security (e.g., apps). It will also
begin beeping intermittently to notify you of the power loss. To stop the beeping:
1.
Touch the touchscreen to illuminate it.
2.
Click on the Trouble message on the top right of the home screen.
3.
Click OK next to the AC Power Loss message.
Note: If power is not restored within 6 hours of acknowledging the
power loss, the beeping will begin again.
Q: How do I change or add my security code?

1.
Scroll over Settings.
2.
Enter your current security code.
3.
Click on Security.
4.
Click on Manage Security Codes.
OR
From the customer website:
1. Scroll over the Security tab.
2.
Choose Security Codes from the drop down menu.
Q: What do I do if I forget my security code or secret word?

Q: How do I create or edit my Emergency Dispatch List?
From the customer website:
1.Scroll over the Security tab.
2.
Choose Emergency Dispatch Setup from the drop down menu.
Q: What are Entry/Exit Zones and Perimeter Zones?
Entry/Exit Zones are the doors most commonly used when you exit or enter your
home. When an armed Entry/Exit Zone sensor is tripped, an Entry Delay begins.
Perimeter Zones are all other doors and windows. If an armed Perimeter Zone sensor
is tripped, there is no entry delay, and the alarm will sound instantly.

1.
Click on Settings.
2.
Enter your security code.
3.
Click on Touchscreen.

IntelligentHome
cellular use policy.
IntelligentHome is a broadband-based service that supports
home management, lifestyle and home security functionality.
The customer’s broadband connection, via a high speed cable
modem, is the primary communication channel for the service.
A second communication channel is provided with the service to
support life safety notifications when a loss of broadband service is
experienced. In the event that the broadband connection is disrupted,
the service attempts to establish a connection to the IntelligentHome
platform via a cellular connection. Cellular connections are available
to a majority of customers and are validated during the customer’s
initial installation.
Customers are responsible to maintain their service in good working
order. If a loss of broadband service or the broadband connection
occurs, customers are responsible for notifying and working with
Time Warner Cable to resolve the issue in an expedient manner.
Time Warner Cable will attempt to contact every customer, using
telephone, email and emergency contact information, if a loss
of the customer’s broadband connection is detected. It is critical
that customers respond and contact Time Warner Cable so that
the broadband connection can be restored and that we can ensure
that the life safety functionality of the service is working properly.
If a customer does not take steps to resolve the problem and
Time Warner Cable’s repeated attempts to reach the customer to
remediate the problem are not successful, Time Warner Cable will
suspend the secondary cellular communication channel.
Note
Suspension of the secondary cellular communication
channel will result in a complete loss of external monitoring
of the customer’s lifestyle and life safety services in their
home if the broadband connection is unavailable. The
secondary cellular communication channel will remain
suspended until the customer notifies Time Warner Cable
and the primary broadband connection is restored.

Política de uso celular
de IntelligentHome.
IntelligentHome es un servicio basado en la banda ancha que
contribuye al manejo de la casa, el estilo de vida y la funcionalidad de
la seguridad en el hogar. La conexión de banda ancha del cliente, a
través de un módem de cable de alta velocidad, es el canal principal
de comunicación para prestar el servicio.
También se proporciona con el servicio un canal secundario de
comunicación para apoyar las alertas de protección de vida cuando se
experimenta una pérdida del servicio de banda ancha. En caso de que
se interrumpa la conexión, el servicio intentará establecer una conexión
con la plataforma de IntelligentHome a través de una conexión
celular. Las conexiones celulares están disponibles para la mayoría
de los clientes y son validadas durante la instalación inicial del cliente.
Los clientes son responsables de mantener su servicio en buena
condición. Si se produce una pérdida del servicio o conexión de banda
ancha, los clientes tienen la responsabilidad de notificar y trabajar con
Time Warner Cable para solucionar el problema de manera eficiente.
Time Warner Cable intentará ponerse en contacto con cada cliente,
ya sea por teléfono, correo electrónico y usando la información de
contacto de emergencia, si se detecta una pérdida de conexión de
banda ancha. Es fundamental que los clientes respondan cuanto
antes a estos llamados y contacten a Time Warner Cable, así la
conexión de banda ancha se puede restaurar y de paso asegurar que
la funcionalidad de la protección de vida del servicio esté funcionando.
Si un cliente no toma las medidas para resolver el problema y los
intentos de Time Warner Cable para contactar al cliente no son
exitosos, Time Warner Cable suspenderá el canal secundario de
comunicación celular.
Nota
La suspensión del canal secundario de comunicación celular
dará como resultado una pérdida completa del control externo
de los servicios de estilo de vida y protección de vida en la casa
de los clientes, si no está disponible la conexión de banda ancha.
El canal secundario de comunicación celular permanecerá
suspendido hasta que el cliente notifique a Time Warner Cable
y se restaure la conexión principal de banda ancha.

the circumstances require).
2. A Minimum Term May Apply
(a) Your Work Order and Consent to Agreement indicates whether you have agreed
to a minimum service term for the Security and Monitoring Service and, if you have,
the number of months in the term.
(b) YOU WILL BE SUBJECT TO AN EARLY TERMINATION FEE IF YOU CANCEL
SERVICES BEFORE THE END OF THE MINIMUM SERVICE TERM (OR IF WE
TERMINATE YOUR SERVICE EARLY “FOR CAUSE” UNDER OUR CUSTOMER
AGREEMENTS). The amount of the Early Termination Fee is set out in your Security
and Monitoring Service Order and Consent to Agreement.
(c) If your Security and Monitoring Service package does not include a minimum
service term or, if it does and you reach the end of the minimum service term,
your service term will be “month-to-month” and you will not be subject to an Early
Termination Fee if you cancel your service.
(d) Prior to the end of your minimum service term, if any, we will notify you of the monthly

IH-QSG-SA1-913
charges and any maintenance or other fees that will apply once your service term
becomes “month-to-month.” While your service term is month-to-month, TWC can change
the monthly charges and any other fees associated with your Security and Monitoring
Service by providing you at least one billing cycle’s notice of the change.
3. What We Do When an Alarm is Triggered
(a) We monitor the Security and Monitoring Equipment from a central monitoring office.
If the monitoring office receives a signal indicating that a fire or smoke condition exists,
we will use all reasonable efforts to dispatch fire responders to the premises. If an intrusion
event is indicated (for example, a door or window has been opened while the system
is “armed”), we will use all reasonable efforts to dispatch the appropriate emergency
responders. The laws of some areas require us to use private security personnel
to respond to and verify certain intrusion alarms before local police will be dispatched.
In those areas, we will use local security firms to respond to such alarms, and local
police will be dispatched if/when the alarm is verified. We may (but are not obligated to)
attempt to contact you or another person that you have identified before we dispatch
emergency responders.
(b) If a person at your premises (or another authorized contact person) provides us
with a pre-agreed passcode and requests that we disregard a triggering event, that we
not contact emergency responders, or that we cancel a previous dispatch request to
emergency responders, we may (but are not obligated to) do so.
(c) You must notify us, in advance in writing (including through our secure website),
of any person you wish us to contact if a triggering event occurs on your premises.
You are responsible for updating and ensuring the accuracy of your contact information.
(d) We may (but are not obligated to) record and retain any communications between
your premises and our central monitoring office.
4. Special Financial Responsibilities Relating to the
Security and Monitoring Services
(a) If a third party (in other words, someone other than you, which may include your
insurance company) sues TWC on any claim that relates to our providing the Security
and Monitoring Service, the Equipment or the Software to you (for example, claiming
that these services did not work correctly or that TWC was negligent in providing these
services), you will indemnify us (in other words, make us whole) for any losses, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, that we suffer.
(b) If we are required to pay any fines, penalties or other costs as a result of a “false” alarm
at your premises, you will reimburse us for such costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees. If there are repeated false alarms at your premises, we may terminate your Security
and Monitoring Service “for cause.”
5. Your Responsibilities Regarding the Security
and Monitoring Equipment
(a) The Time Warner Cable Equipment belongs to us and must be returned to us if you
cease to receive the Service for any reason.
(b) The Time Warner Cable Equipment is linked to the address on your Security and
Monitoring Service Order and Consent to Subscriber Agreement. You may not use the
Time Warner Cable Equipment with another security services provider or move it to
another address. If you do, the equipment may not operate properly or emergency
responders may not be able to find the premises where it is then located.
(c) You will use the Security and Monitoring Service as installed by us, and in a manner
that is consistent with the instructions and other materials that we provide to you, and
you agree to report any problems with the Security and Monitoring Service to us as
promptly as possible. If you relocate the Equipment within your home after installation,
or obstruct the Equipment or otherwise hinder its proper operation (for example, in the
course of home renovations, or as a result of moving the furniture within your home),
it may not operate properly, and in such circumstances we will not be responsible for any
resulting failure of the Security and Monitoring Service.
(d) If the law in your area requires that you hold a license or permit for the installation,
use or monitoring of the Security and Monitoring Service, you agree to maintain such
a license or permit and provide us with your license or permit number if we request it.
In some areas, we may be able to obtain a required license or permit on your behalf.
You will be responsible for the cost of any license or permit described in this paragraph.
(e) If a fire alarm system has been installed, I certify that all costs attributable to making
the fire alarm system operable for the residence identified by this document, including
sale and installation costs do not exceed five hundred dollars ($500.00). The fire alarm
system available to you as a Security and Monitoring Service customer are not intended
to replace fire alarm systems that are required in order to satisfy building code and fire
protection similar requirements in your area. We recommend that you have and maintain
a fire alarm system throughout your home in addition to that that you purchase from Time
Warner Cable in connection with the Security and Monitoring Service.
(f) You are responsible for determining the Security and Monitoring Service package (and
any optional services) that best meet your needs. We have not provided you with advice
on whether the services you have selected are appropriate for you and we cannot accept
any responsibility for your choices.
6. If You Have Service Problems,
You May Be Entitled to a Credit
(a) We will attempt to correct Security and Monitoring Service problems caused by the
Time Warner Cable Equipment or Software but we are not required to install, service or
replace other equipment (including Customer Owned Equipment) or software. Depending
on the circumstances, we may charge you for service calls.
(b) TWC has no liability for service interruptions except that, if you lose your Security
and Monitoring Service for more than 24 consecutive hours and the cause of the outage
was within our reasonable control, we will provide you a credit for that period if you
request one. All credit requests must be made within 30 days of your next bill following
the outage or service issue.
(c) We have no obligation to compensate you for service problems that are beyond our
reasonable control. Examples of problems beyond our reasonable control include those caused
by storms and other natural disasters, vandalism, terrorism, regulations or governmental acts,
fires, civil disturbances, electrical power outages, computer viruses or strikes.
7. Our Services are Not Guaranteed
and Our Liability is Limited
(a) We operate the Security and Monitoring Service, which is electrically powered, over our
broadband network. If, for any reason, the Equipment or any portion of our cable system
is unable to carry broadband communications (for example, due to power or equipment
problems) or if your home or area experiences power or equipment problems, the Security
and Monitoring Service may not work correctly or may not work at all.
(b) The Security and Monitoring Service may include a battery and/or a wireless backup
designed to enable communication with our central monitoring office during some
types of outages. However, these backups may not work correctly, or may not work at
all. The availability of a wireless backup depends on the availability and quality of wireless
coverage in your area and the status of our arrangements with any wireless providers
that may provide such coverage.
(c) We will conduct cable system maintenance from time to time that may interrupt the
Security and Monitoring Service.
(d) IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH CUSTOMER OWNED EQUIPMENT, YOU MAY BE
ENTITLED TO A WARRANTY PROVIDED BY THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER. FOR SO
LONG AS YOU CONTINUE TO RECEIVE THE SECURITY AND MONITORING SERVICE, WE
WILL ADMINISTER THE ORIGINAL MANUCTURER’S WARRANTY AS THE
MANUFACTURER’S DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE. TERMINATION OF YOUR SECURITY
AND MONITORING SERVICE DOES NOT AFFECT THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER’S
WARRANTY, ONLY OUR ADMINISTRATION OF IT. A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY FOR CUSTOMER-OWNED EQUIPMENT IS AVAILABLE FOR
INSPECTION BEFORE SALE AT OUR WEBSITE OR UPON YOUR WRITTEN REQUEST.
OTHER THAN THE ADMINISTRATION OF ANY WARRANTY PROVIDED BY THE ORIGINAL
MANUFACTURER, TWC PROVIDES NO WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE CUSTOMER
OWNED EQUIPMENT.
(e) EXCEPT FOR ANY LIMITED WARRANTY PROVIDED BY THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER,
WE PROVIDE CUSTOMER-OWNED EQUIPMENT TO YOU ON AN “AS IS” BASIS
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING SO-CALLED “IMPLIED”
WARRANTIES (SUCH AS WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE). OUR SERVICES ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO WORK OR TO BE
ERROR-FREE. THE SERVICES, EQUIPMENT AND SOFTWARE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND
“AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. THIS INCLUDES SO-CALLED
“IMPLIED WARRANTIES” (SUCH AS THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE). AMONG OTHER THINGS, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE
SECURITY AND MONITORING SERVICES, THE EQUIPMENT OR THE SOFTWARE WILL
PREVENT OR PROTECT AGAINST ANY LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY TO ANY PERSON OR
ANY PROPERTY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. IF THE LAW WHERE YOU LIVE SAYS
WE CAN NOT EXCLUDE CERTAIN WARRANTIES, THEN THOSE WARRANTIES ARE NOT
EXCLUDED.
(f) WHEN YOU PURCHASE SECURITY AND MONITORING SERVICES OR EQUIPMENT
FROM US, YOU ARE NOT PURCHASING INSURANCE. YOU ASSUME ALL RISKS FOR
LOSSES OR DAMAGES TO PEOPLE, PREMISES AND BELONGINGS. YOU WILL INSURE
AGAINST SUCH RISKS BY PURCHASING INSURANCE FROM A QUALIFIED INSURANCE
COMPANY.
(g) EXCEPT FOR THE SERVICE INTERRUPTION CREDITS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 4 OF
THIS AGREEMENT, TWC WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSSES OR DAMAGES
OF ANY KIND BASED ON BREACHES OF THIS AGREEMENT OR YOUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH US, REGARDLESS OF THE BASIS OF ANY CLAIM, INCLUDING LOSSES OR DAMAGES
CAUSED BY OR CONTRIBUTED TO BY OUR NEGLIGENCE (INCLUDING IN SELECTING,
INSTALLING AND MONITORING THE EQUIPMENT) OR OUR ACTIONS OR FAILURE TO
ACT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES (INCLUDING IN RESPECT OF SCHEDULING AND
KEEPING INSTALLATION AND SERVICE CALLS).
(h) TWC WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE COMPENSATION TO YOU IN EXCESS
OF $1,000 UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. TWC WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO ANY THIRD
PARTY, INCLUDING YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY, AS A RESULT OF PROVIDING
YOU WITH THE SECURITY AND MONITORING SERVICES, THE EQUIPMENT OR THE
SOFTWARE. YOU WAIVE (IN OTHER WORDS, GIVE UP) ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO
GIVE YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY THE POWER TO SUE TWC (WHICH IS KNOWN AS
“SUBROGATION”).
(i) IF YOU RECOVER ANY LOSSES OR DAMAGES FROM AN INSURANCE COMPANY IN
CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OUR PROVISION OF THE SECURITY
AND MONITORING SERVICE, THE EQUIPMENT OR THE SOFTWARE, YOU RELEASE TWC
FROM ANY OBLIGATION TO PAY YOU ANY SUCH AMOUNTS AND FOR ALL INSURANCE
DEDUCTIBLES RELATING TO THE POLICY GIVING RISE TO SUCH RECOVERY.
8. You are Agreeing to Limit Your Legal Rights
(a) You waive (in other words, give up) the right to commence any proceeding against TWC
if the relevant events occurred more than one year earlier. This waiver is not enforceable,
and the normal statute of limitations in your area will apply, if you notified TWC in writing
of the events giving rise to the proceeding within one year of their occurrence.
(b) Under Section 15 of the Residential Services Subscriber Agreement, each of us agrees
to submit certain Disputes to the American Arbitration Association for resolution under
its Commercial Arbitration Rules or, by separate mutual agreement, to another arbitration
institution. You may opt out of this arbitration provision. If you do so, neither you nor TWC
can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must
notify TWC in writing within 30 days of the date that you first became subject to this
arbitration provision. You must use one of these addresses to opt out:
Time Warner Cable
