I shut off my living room breaker to do some receptical wiring, and the whole time the M1 Keypad is periodically beeping and announcing "Phone Trouble". Flip the breaker back on and the phone trouble goes away.
I have wired the M1 to the house's phone jacks in anticipation of connecting it to my Comcast voice, but there's currently no devices (phones or modem) plugged into the jacks. The phone demarcation box is completely unhooked. The living room branch circuit does not feed the M1 Gold or any attached security equipment. This is what baffles me -- the living room breaker should have absolutely nothing to do with the M1 Gold.
Is it possible the phone wiring is acting as an antenna, picking up stray 120 VAC noise and the M1G is interpreting it as a phone service? Is it a no-no to connect the M1G to phone wiring but not connect the wiring to a phone service?
