Installation
NOTE
The magnet must be placed on the right side of the alarm. The arrows on the
alarm and the magnet must align. Locate a position on the window or door to be
protected that allows easy access to the OFF/ CHIME/ALARM switch. Make sure
the switch is OFF and the mounting surface is clean and dry. For best results,
clean the mounting surface with a mixture of 50% isopropyl alcohol and 50%
water.
Installation Cont
- Peel the protective covering from one side of the double-sided tape and then apply it to the back of the alarm.
- Remove the protective covering from the back side of the double-sided tape and lightly mount the alarm or the magnet on the part of the entry that opens (i.e. the window or door itself).
- Window and door preferred mounting method
- Mount the other piece of the unit on the stationary part of the entryway (i.e. the window or door frame).
- Ensure when the door or the window is closed, the gap between the two pieces of the alarm unit is less than 1/2in.
- Once correct placement is established, press to secure double-sided tape.
Alarm Mode
Operation
- To arm the unit, locate the chime/OFF/alarm switch on the side. Slide the switch to the desired position.
- When in the alarm position, if the protected window or door is opened to separate the alarm and magnet by more than 1/2in., the alarm siren sounds continuous until disarmed or the door or window is closed and the gap is less than 1/2in. When in the chime position, if the door or window is opened, the chime sounds. It chimes once again when the door or window is closed and reopened.
- To disarm the unit, toggle the switch to the OFF position. Make sure the door or window is closed before arming.
NOTE : To test, cover the alarm with a cloth to reduce the risk of hearing damage. To clean the unit housing, use a soft cloth slightly dampened with water and wipe dry. Do not use chemical agents as this may damage and discolor
the unit.
