For the best per-
formance and longest life, we recommend alkaline batteries (available at your local RadioShack store). Cautions:
* 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. etna _ eeee 2, Place the batteries in the compartment and on top of the attached ribbon, as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside. Xe S| UN A 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. Replacing the main unit's batteries automati-
cally resets the security code to 4234. Any time you replace these batteries, be ure to apply the current security code to the remote control een tn ELT ON ee so the sensor alarm will recognize the remote signals (see Remote Control on Page 10). When the main unit's LOW BATT indicator flashes about every 5 seconds, or if the sensor alarm stops operating properly, replace the batteries. arm[, {NSTANT CHIME: persy

* 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. ee Aan A
Remote Control Each time you remove and replace the batteries in the main unit, you must program the main unit to recognize the remote control's signals. If 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

ceived the remote signal. 6. Press PROG. The sensor alarm's PROG indica-
tor turns off. Note: If you do not press a button for about 30 sec-
onds, the sensor alarm beeps, its PROG indicator turns off automatically, and (if 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 from the remote control to be sure the sensor alarm rec-
ognizes the remote signals (see Arming and Dis-
arming the Sensor Alarm on Page 18). 11 a RESETTING 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 disarmed after batteries are in-
stalled. INSTALLATION ee To help you avoid false alarms, mount your sensor alarms main unit:
* where it will not be in direct sunlight
* away from heat sources, such as space heat-
ers, radiators, and exposed light bulbs
* out of strong drafts, like those caused by cen-
tral heating 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 alarms main unit is designed to be mounted on a smooth, flat wall surface. Select a mounting location where the alarm is most ikely to detect an intruder. We recommend mounting it at a height of about 51/2 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 SS grees. However, there is a blind area of about 10 feet (3 meters) directly in front of the main unit. Coverage Area
(Side View) 51/2 Feet Blind Area
(10 Feet) Note: Your sensor alarms coverage depends on how high you mount it, the shape of 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 stepladder (for exam-
ple) at the recommended height, then move the stepladder to various locations in the room(s) you want to protect.
~s Ree cee ER ne SS Checking the Coverage Area To be sure the sensor detects motion in the areas you want to protect, follow these steps. 1. If 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 CHIME.

After you determine the best location for your sen-
sor alarm, follow these steps to mount it on the wall. 1. If necessary, disarm. the sensor alarm (the red indicator should not be flashing) by entering the current security code. 2. Drill two holes 12/e inches (35 mm) apart. Then thread a screw into each hole, letting the heads extend about 9/16 inch (5 mm). Note: The two supplied mounting screws are suitable for mounting the sensor alarm's main unit on a wooden surface. If you are mounting the main unit on drywall, masonry, or another . type of surface, use the appropriate mounting hardware (not supplied). 16 17 a OPERATION Lee renee ee ASSESS ee We recommend that you test the sensor alarm at least once a month by arming and disarming it as described in the following section. ARMING AND DISARMING THE SENSOR ALARM Arming To have the alarms siren sound as soon as the sen-
sor detects motion, set the main unit's slide switch to INSTANT. aru INSTANT DELAY CHIME Low aaTT PROG To have the alarms siren sound about 30 seconds after the sensor detects motion, set the slide switch to DELAY. 18 eg eS To arm the sensor alarm, press ARM on the main unit or on the remote control. At either the INSTANT or DELAY settings, you have 10 seconds to leave the sensor alarms coverage area. During this exit delay, the main unit beeps every second and its red indicator flashes. At the end of the 10-second delay, the main unit beeps twice, the indicator flashes about every 5 seconds, and the sensor alarm is armed. 0 OO 0 Oo 070 0 0 660000 RadioShack if 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. if 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
= esha rapenenanpereeenineunmnnnpsruntnsummranninenesnemmnanaanspasenanan) The alarm siren sounds for up to 2 minutes. To stop it sooner, disarm the alarm (see Disarming). !f you do not disarm the alarm, the sensor alarm is sti armed and the siren will sound again the next time the sensor detects motion. Disarming To disarm the sensor alarm and stop the alarm from sounding, enter your four-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, follow these steps. 1. Press DISARM on the remote control. The alarm stops sounding for about 30 sec-
onds. During this pause, the main unit beeps every second and its red indicator flashes. 2, Enter your four-digit security code within 30 sec-
onds. Otherwise, the alarm will sound again. Notes:
You can temporarily silence the alarm only once each time you disarm it. 20 RES
* If 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 from the wall and remove and reinstall the batteries. This re-
sets the security code to 1234. USING THE CHIME ALARM If you prefer to hear a chime instead of a siren when the sensor alarm detects motion, follow these steps. 1. If necessary, disarm the sensor alarm (the red indicator should not be flashing) by entering the current 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 every time the sensor detects motion. To turn off the chime, set the slide switch to either IN-
STANT or DELAY. 21 I USING THE PANIC ALARM
{f you want to startle an intruder (for example) by in-
stantly sounding the alarm siren, simply press PAN-
IC on the main unit or press ARM and DISARM on the remote control at the same time. The siren alarm im-
mediately sounds, even if the sensor alarm was set to CHIME or not armed at all. The alarm sounds for up to 2 minutes. To stop it sooner, enter your Cur-
rent security code. 22 CARE eee To enjoy your RadioShack Passive Infrared Sensor Alarm for a long time:
e Keep the sensor alarm and remote dry. \f they do get wet, wipe them dry immediately. Use and store the sensor alarm and remote only in norma! temperature environments. Handle the sensor alarm and remote gently and carefully. Dont drop them. Keep the sensor alarm and remote away from dust and dirt. Wipe the sensor alarm and remote with a damp cloth occasionally to keep them looking new. Modifying or tampering with the sensor alarms or remotes internal components can cause a malfunc-
tion and invalidate the system's warranty. If your sensor alarm system is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assis-
tance. REPLACING THE REMOTE CONTROLS BATTERY Your sensor alarms remote control uses the sup-
plied 12V alkaline battery for power. When the re-
23 ee CO mote control's indicator lights dimly or not at all when you press ARM or DISARM, or if the remote control stops operating properly (the main unit can-
not receive the remote control's signals), replace the battery. We recommend you replace it with an alka-
line battery (available at your local RadioShack store), Cautions: Use only a fresh battery of the required size and recommended type. Follow these steps to replace the battery. 1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screw from the back of the remote control, then lift off the back case. 2. Remove the old battery, then place a fresh bat-
tery inside the back cover, as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and ~) marked inside. 3. Be sure the small loop on one end of the key-
chain fits over the post inside the back cover, then replace the cover. Reinsert and tighten the screw. Note: You do not need to reset the remote control or main unit after replacing the remotes battery. 24 SS ee Cautions:
* Dispose of the old battery promptly and prop-
erly. Do not burn or bury it.
* Always remove an old or weak battery. Batter-
ies can leak chemicals that can destroy elec-
tronic parts. FCC STATEMENT This equipment has been tested and found to com-
