Contact your installation company.

That's pretty "usual" for a generic cellular communicator.  Some have
more inputs that allow you to supervise the phone line, a seperate panic
button, etc.

Don't know him.  Did you check his credentials and references?  In some
Provinces and States (Countries), installers are required to be licensed
and bonded.

Unless the cell network goes down, you should be OK.  Most cellemetry
systems don't use the voice channel of the network.  They use the
"control" channel.  I've never had a problem with a cellular
communicator *not* transmitting a signal.  If you can get on AlarmNet,
then that is preferred because you're not using a "middleman" to
transmit the signals to your CS (central station).

Good luck!!
