CUSTOMER ALERT
Some scammers just don’t quit. They find out you’ve been the victim of a previous scam and that you’re eligible to receive money from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Their next move? Try to hit you with another scam!
According to the FTC itself, these criminals target people who lost money to tech support scams and contact them claiming to be from the FTC’s refund department. They may even use the real names of FTC employees. They insist they can help you if you pay them, give them personal information, or allow them access to your computer. Don’t fall for it! To avoid the scam, always check the Recent FTC Cases Resulting in Refunds webpage to be sure the case is valid. Rather than working with the person who contacts you, use the contact phone number on this list. If you receive a refund check or claim from the FTC, check it against the list. If anyone asks for money, personal information, or access to your computer, don’t grant it. Finally, be sure to report such activity to the actual FTC. If you’ve already fallen for it, contact the FTC to start a new complaint. Immediately change passwords for your important financial accounts. Carefully monitor your finances and credit to be sure any information you might have given away isn’t being used against you. If you pay a scammer, check with the entity you used to pay them, as they might be able to help you retract the payment. |

Internet Service Interruption Notification
Internet Service Interruption Notification
We want to make you aware that on Tuesday, November 19, 2019 between 2:00am and 3:00am SRT will be upgrading our Internet equipment, which will cause an interruption to your internet service. During this time, we will be upgrading a significant piece of hardware equipment which will allow SRT to continue to bring the fastest and most reliable broadband internet service to the area.
While we try to make these changes during the middle of the night, to reduce impact on customers, we understand that it may affect you. The down time will affect your Internet service which may also include connected devices such as smart home gadgets or security or video surveillance systems.
We will do our best to keep the service disruption time to a minimum. If you experience any Internet difficulties following the planned maintenance, please power cycle your modem or router and turn it back on after 30 seconds. If issues persist, please contact our Internet Help Desk at 701-858-7873.
Your security alarm panel may send an alert of a “Com Failure” and start beeping. If you would prefer to turn your panel volume down to avoid hearing a constant beeping, instructions are below. The panel beeping sound is different than a security alarm and will not affect your security alarm from operating properly.
If this occurs, enter your Master Code twice on your Alarm Panel to stop the beeping tone. If your Security System is “Armed”, this “Com Failure” alert will not affect the system from operating properly. However, you will not be able to use your Total Connect functions until the Internet service has been restored.
If your system loses Internet connectivity, to Reconnect Your Lynx Alarm Panel to the Internet:
- Go to “Tools”
- Key in your “4-digit Master Code”
- Select “Test”
- Select “Reboot”
- When prompted, answer “Yes”
Please allow a few minutes for your Alarm Panel to reboot.
Once it has reconnected to the Internet, it will be fully functional again.
To Lower the Volume on the Lynx Alarm Panel so as not to interrupt you in the middle of the night:
- Go to “Security”
- Select “More”
- Select “Settings”
- Select “Volume”
- Adjust the slider with your finger to desired volume.
- Select “Save”
Lowering your volume will only change the sound on your panel. This will NOT affect the volume of the internal siren, which signals you of intrusion or fire detection.
To Reconnect Your Lyric Alarm Panel to the Internet:
- Go to “Tools”
- Key in your “4-digit Master Code”
- Select “Advanced”
- Select “Reboot”
- When prompted, answer “Yes”
Please allow a few minutes for your Alarm Panel to reboot.
Once it has reconnected to the Internet, it will be fully functional again.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact 852-8888.
Thank you for your patience as we upgrade our Internet service.
