PREPARATION
___————-—
INSTALLING BATTERIES
The main unit of your sensor alarm requires four AA
batteries (not supplied) tor power. For the best per-
formance and longest life, we recommend alkaline
batteries (available at your local RadioShack store).
Cautlons:
- Use only fresh batteries of the required size
and recommended type.
- Do not mix old and new batteries, different
types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or re-
chargeable), or rechargeable batteries of differ-
ent capacities.
1‘ Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two
screws from the battery compartment cover.
then lift off the cover
—____________='_———_————_—
2. Place the batteries in the compartment and on
top of the attached ribbon. as indicated by the
polarity symbols (+ and —) marked inside.
Note: As soon as you press the last battery in
place, the alarm sounds a loud chirp and both
the red and the green indicators light briefly.
3. Replace the cover, then reinsert and tighten the
screws.
Notes:
- The alarm is disarmed after batteries are
installed.
0 Replacing the main unit‘s batteries automati-
cally resets the security code to 1234. Any time
you replace these batteries, be Sure to apply
the current security code to the remote control
so the sensor alarm will recognize the remote
signals (see “Ftemote Control" on Page 10).
When the main unit's LOW BATT indicator flashes
about every 5 seconds, or it the sensor alarm stops
operating properly. replace the batteries.
Aw[ mwr
nauw
”ME, LBW BA"
. Prim:
- Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.
Do not burn or bury them.
Cautions:
- Always remove old or weak batteries. Batteries
can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic
parts.

Remote Control
Each time you remove and replace the batteries in
the main unit, you must program the main unit to
recognize the remote controls signals it you
change the security code, there is no need to repro-
gram the main unit; it will still recognize the remote
signals. Follow these steps to program the main unit
so you can use your remote control.
1. Set the slide switch to either of the ARM set-
tings.
2. Press FROG. The sensor alarm beeps once and
its green FROG indicator lights.
3. Press LEARN. The sensor alarm beeps twice
and its FROG indicator flashes slowly.
4. Enter your tour-digit security code. The sensor
alarm beeps three times and its PROG Indicator
llashes quickly.
10
_—————
_—.—___—————
5. Press ARM or DlSARu on your remote control.
The alarm's FROG indicator lights steadily and
the sensor alarm chirps, indicating that it re-
ceived the remote signal.
6. Press FROG. The sensor alann's FROG indica-
tor turns oil.
Note: It you do not press a button for about 30 sec-
onds, the sensor alarm beeps, its FROG indicator
turns oll automatically, and (ii you have not complet-
ed Step 4) the sensor alarm does not recognize the
remote signals. Start over at Step 1.
Try arming and disarming your sensor alarm lrom
the remote control to be sure the sensor alarm rec-
ognizes the remote signals (see “Arming and Dis-
anning the Sensor Alarm” on Page 18).
11
RESE'ITING THE SECURITY
CODE
If you ever forget your security code, you can easily
reset it to the default code (1234) by removing and
reinstalling the main unit's batteries (see “Installing
Batteries" on Page 5).
Remember that after removing and reinstalling bat-
teries in the main unit, you must program the main
unit to recognize the remote control’s signals (see
“Remote Control" on Page 10).
Note: The alarm is dlsarmad after batteries are in~
stalled.
INSTALLATION
“—
To help you avoid false alarms, mount your sensor
alarm’s main unit:
- where it will not be in direct sunlight
- away lrom heat sources, such as space heat-
ers, radiators, and exposed light bulbs
- out of strong drafts, like those caused by cen-
tral healing vents or air conditioners or air
movement around fireplaces, exterior walls and
windows. and refrigerators
- so it does not detect your pet‘s movements
CHOOSING A MOUNTING
LOCATION
The sensor alarm’s main unit is designed to be
mounted on a smooth. flat wall surface. Select a
mounting location where the alarm is most likely to
detect an intruder. We recommend mounting it at a
height of about 5‘/2 feet (1.7 meters). At this height,
the sensor alarm detects motion up to 30 feet (9.1
meters) away and from an angle of up to 110 de-
13

grees. However, there is a blind area of about 10
feet (3 meters) directly in front at the main unit.

(10 Fall)
Note: Your sensor alarm’s coverage depends on
how high you mount it, the shape ot the room(s), fur-
niture placement in the area, and so on.
TEMPORARILY PLACING THE
SENSOR ALARM
Before you permanently mount the sensor alarm,
temporarily place it at the selected location so you
can check the coverage area. You might need to
check several different locations to find the best
one. Place the main unit on a stepiadder (for exam-
ple) at the recommended height, then move the
stepladder to various locations in the room(s) you
want to protect.

__—____-——————___—__———
Checking the Coverage Area
To be sure the sensor detects motion in the areas
you went to protect, follow these steps.
1. it necessary. disarm the sensor alarm (the red
indicator should not be flashing) by entering the
current security code.
2. Confirm that the area is clear of anything that
might trigger the alarm (such as people and
pets).
3. Set the main unit's slide switch to CRIME. A
doorbell-type chime immediately sounds.
4. Walk around in the protected area. When the
sensor alarm detects your motion, the chime
sounds againt
- it the sensor alarm does not chime when you
15
fl
are within the coverage area. change the
main unit’s location.
- It the sensor alarm chimes when you are out-
side the coverage area, check the area to
see what is causing the false alarm and
remove the item, or change the main unit‘s
location.
MOUNTING THE SENSOR
ALARM
After you determine the best location for your sen-
sor alarm, follow these steps to mount it on the wall.
1. Il necessary, disarm the sensor alarm (the red
indicator should not be flashing) by entering the
current security code.
2. Drill two holes 13/3 inches (35 mm) apart. Then
thread a screw into each hole, letting the heads
extend about film inch (5 mm).
Note: The two supplied mounting screws are
suitable for mounting the sensor alarm‘s main
unit on a wooden surlace, If you are mounting
the main unit on drywall. masonry, or another
type at surlace. use the appropriate mounting
hardware (not supplied).
3. Turn the main unit about 30 degrees counter
clockwise, then slide the left screw head into
the horizontal groove on the back of the unit.

it you arm the sensor alarm in the INSTANT setting,
when the alarm detects motion in the protected area,
the alarm siren sounds immediately and the indicator
stays on.
it you arm the sensor alarm in the DELAY setting,
when the alarm detects motion in the protected ar-
ea, the indicator flashes every second for about 30
seconds, then the alarm siren sounds and the indi-
cator stays on.
19
_————-
The alarm siren sounds for up to 2 minutes. To stop
it sooner, disarm the alarm (see “Disarming”). it you
do not disarm the alarm, the sensor alarm is still
armed and the siren will sound again the next time
the sensor detects motion.
Disarming
To disarm the sensor alarm and stop the alarm lrom
sounding, enter your tour-digit security code. The
main unit beeps twice when you enter the correct
code.
To temporarily silence the alarm using the remote
control, which gives you time to enter your security
code, lollow these steps.
1. Press DISARM on the remote control.
The alarm stops sounding tor about 30 sec~
onds. During this pause, the main unit beeps
every second and its red indicator flashes.
2. Enter your tour-digit security code within 30 sec-
onds. Otherwise, the alarm will sound again.
Notes:
0 You can temporarily silence the alarm only once
each time you disarm it.
20
—_
- It entering your security code does not disarm
the sensor alarm, try entering the default code
(1234). If that code does not disarm the alarm
either, remove the sensor alarm trom the wall
and remove and reinstall the batteries. This re-
sets the security code to 1234.
USING THE CHIME ALARM
it you prefer to hear a chime instead of a siren when
the sensor alarm detects motion, follow these steps.
1. ti necessary, disarm the sensor alarm (the red
indicator should not be flashing) by entering the
cunent security code.
2. Set the slide switch on the main unit to CHIME.
A doorbell—type chime immediately sounds.
3. When the sensor detects any motion, the chime
sounds again.
Note: There is no need to arm or disarm the alarm
when using the CHIME setting because the chime
sounds even] time the sensor detects motion. To
turn off the chime, set the slide switch to either IN-
STANT or DELAY.
21
_______———-—'—_—___—————-‘
USING THE PANIC ALARM
lf you want to startle an intruder (for example) by in-
stantly sounding the alarm siren. simply press PAN-
lc on the main unit or press ARM and DISARM on the
remote control at the same time. The siren alarm im-
mediately sounds, even il the sensor alarm was set
to CRIME or not armed at all. The alarm sounds tor
up to 2 minutes. To stop it sooner, enter your cur—
rent security code.
