C. Mount Alert Sign. approx.4 feethigh1. Mount Alert Sign to inside garage wall wherever it will be most visible to the driver when approaching the garage. Screws are provided, and there are keyhole slots on the back of the sign to help hang the sign. This is most likely the back wall of the garage if you approach your garage head on, or the side wall if you approach your garage from the side - just put it where you normally look as you are pulling into the garage.2. With the InCar Alerter in the garage with you, plug the Alert Sign into a wall outlet using the enclosed power adapter. Use an extension cord for the power adapter if your outlet is further away than the cord on the adapter.3. As soon as the Alert Sign is plugged in, it will flash for several seconds to show you it is working. It will also send a signal to trigger your InCar Alerter so you can hear what it sounds like. You can silence the Alerter by pressing the button on it; otherwise it will stop beeping automatically in three minutes.7
D. Place Gear Tags on Gear.There are many options for mounting your gear tag. You can use the strap to attach it to any tube on your bicycle. Or if you have a saddle bag or cargo bag that always stays on your bike, just place it inside. Just make sure it is something that is always with your bike.For kayaks, canoes or cargo carriers, you can use the silicon strap to attach a Gear Tag to a bar on the inside of your equipment, or simply place it in your watercraft storage bin.E. Place Alerter in Vehicle. Put the Alerter device in your car wherever you will hear it when it goes off. For the best range, we recommend clipping it to your sun visor or rearview mirror post.F. Done! We recommend that you test your system to make sure everything is installed correctly and working before you rely on it. The alert range will vary slightly based on your garage, vehicle and placement of the components, so make sure you drive several blocks away for a couple minutes and then return to test the system and confirm the alert range for your set-up. (Important Note: Wait 3 minutes after plugging in your sign to do your test and at least 3 minutes between any subsequent tests for the system to fully reset each time.)8
3. HOW IT WORKSOnce your HeadsUp System is installed, it protects you and your gear every time you return home with gear on your roof rack. The Alert Sign is always on, listening for Gear Tags and InCar Alerters. When you return home with your gear on the roof and come within range of the Sign, the Sign detects a new Gear Tag and Alerter and triggers the alert sequence. The Sign begins flashing for 3 minutes, providing you with a visual alert, and the InCar Alerter starts beeping to alert you inside your vehicle. You can silence the Alerter at any time by pressing its button if you want to stop the beeping before it stops automatically in 3 minutes.The visual and audio alerts remind you to unload your roof-mounted gear before you drive in to the garage. And it works every time, saving you from potentially thousands of dollars of damage to your gear, rack, vehicle and garage. Smart move!Additional Notes• The Alerter should stay in your vehicle at all times. Driving in and out of your garage without your gear with just the Alerter in your vehicle will not trigger an alert.•You can ride your bicycle with its Gear Tag directly from your garage and the sign will not go off when you return. The alerts only go off when both a Gear Tag and a vehicle with an Alerter return at the same time.9
•If you store your bicycles, kayaks or other gear with Gear Tags in your garage, the Sign detects that they are present and ignores them for deciding when an alert is needed. A Gear Tag and Alerter need to both be away from your Alert Sign for more than 30 seconds to trigger an alert when you return home.• Your Gear Tags should always be with the gear you want to protect. A Tags can easily be mounted on your bike by wrapping the silicon strap around any tube on your bike as shown in the Installation instructions above. If you have a saddle bag that always stays on your bike, you can just tuck a Gear Tag in that instead. For kayaks, canoes or cargo carriers, you can either use the silicon strap to attach a Gear Tag to the inside of your gear, or simply place it in your watercraft storage bin. The silicon housing on the Gear Tag is water-resistant, but if your tag is likely to sit in water for extended periods, we suggest placing it in a zip-seal bag first.•If, for some reason, you are carrying your gear with a Gear Tag in your trunk instead of on the roof rack, the alert will still go off (although the alert range may be reduced). The Alert Sign senses when you return home in your vehicle with your gear, whether or not the gear is on the roof.• More than one vehicle with a roof rack? No problem: extra InCar Alerters are available individually at headsupsystems.com and at many retailers that carry the HeadsUp System. • More than two bicycles or other gear you want to protect? No problem: extra Gear Tags are available individually at headsupsystems.com and at many retailers that carry the HeadsUp System. 10
•One HeadsUp System can support up to 100 Gear Tags and Alerters. This means it works not only for households with multiple roof racks and lots of gear, but even for condos or apartment buildings with multiple athletes. Just mount one sign in the condo/apartment garage, and each resident can purchase Alerters and Gear Tags separately.•The batteries in your Gear Tags and InCar Alerter are expected to last a minimum of one year with normal usage. The HeadsUp System includes a low-battery warning feature that lights a low-battery LED on the Alert Sign when a Gear Tag or Alerter with a low battery is within range. This way you’ll know to replace the battery before your system stops working.•Please do not remove the battery from a Tag or Alerter unless you are replacing it with a fresh, new battery. The battery use meter is reset each time a battery is replaced, so if you use an old battery, the low-battery indicator will not work properly.•If you are testing your system to verify the range and function, the tag and alerter must be completely removed from the range of the sign (at least 500 feet away in open air) for more than 30 seconds to trigger then sign upon returning home. Also, please wait at least three minutes between tests for the system to reset. •See the FAQ section or Contact Us on headsupsystems.com if you have any questions about your new HeadsUp System and how it works.
