SirenFob Operation

SirenFob Use & Applications:

• After pairing your SirenFob to one or more YoLink siren products (YoLink Siren Alarm, Outdoor Alarm Controller, Outdoor Alarm Controller 2, etc.) you can control them with your SirenFob.
• Alarm devices, such as the YoLink Vibration Sensor or Motion Sensor, can be paired to your siren or sirens.
• Once paired to your siren(s) and if the siren(s) have been paired to alarm devices, the SirenFob can be used to allow, or prevent, the alarm devices from activating the siren – this is done via the SirenFob’s enable and disable buttons, represented by the locked padlock icon (armed/enabled) and the unlocked padlock icon (disarmed/disabled).

Application Example #1, Standalone Vehicle Protection System:

• Pair a Vibration Sensor to an Outdoor Alarm Controller, place or install them in a vehicle, RV, boat, etcetera.
• Pair the Outdoor Alarm Controller to a SirenFob.
• Press the Unmute (Locked Padlock) button to arm the Vibration Sensor and Outdoor Alarm Controller. If vibration is detected by the sensor, the Outdoor Alarm Controller will activate the siren.
• Press the Stop Alarm button to silence the siren.
• Press the Stop Alarm button at any time to activate the siren (to turn the siren sound on).
• Press the Mute (Unlocked Padlock) icon to mute/disarm the Outdoor Alarm Controller at any time (if the Outdoor Alarm Controller was previously unmuted/armed).
  Remarks: by “standalone” these devices will use Control-D2D device-to- device pairing (see the next section), for operation without the requirement for an internet connection or for a YoLink hub. While not connected to a YoLink hub, these devices will operate and respond per their paired settings and not per any app settings (automation, scenes, Alarm Strategies, etc.). Please also note, if the vehicle in this example returns to a YoLink wireless network (provided by a YoLink hub), any app settings made, such as for alert notifications, will be carried out. Use care to not use the SirenFob to disarm your vehicle alarm devices, and at the same time use the app to arm them and activate the siren(s) or trigger other automations that may conflict with your desired operation.

Application Example #2, Personal Travel Protection System:

• Pair a Motion Sensor to a Siren Alarm. Place them in your hotel room.
• Pair the Siren Alarm to a SirenFob.
• Press the Unmute (Locked Padlock) button to arm the Motion Sensor and Siren Alarm. If motion is detected by the sensor, the Siren Alarm will sound/activate.
• Press the Stop Alarm button to silence the Siren Alarm.
• Press the Start Alarm button at any time to activate the Siren Alarm (to turn the siren sound on).
• Press the Mute (Unlocked Padlock) icon to mute/disarm the Siren Alarm at any time (if the Siren Alarm was previously unmuted/armed).

Control-D2D Device-to-Device Pairing

Pair Your SirenFob:
Before you can use your SirenFob it must be paired to at least one YoLink siren device. You will need to have each device available to perform the pairing process (this is not done in the app). The steps to pair your SirenFob to one or more siren devices are as follows:

1. On the SirenFob, press and hold the Start Alarm button for 5 to 10 seconds, until the LED flashes green, then release the button.
2. On the siren device, press and hold the SET button for 5 to 10 seconds, until the status LED flashes green.
   • Your SirenFob is now paired to your siren device. Pair additional siren devices, if needed.
   • Test your SirenFob. Press the Start Alarm to turn on the siren(s), then press the Deactivate Button to silence the siren(s).
   • The steps to pair your Siren Alarm and/or Outdoor Alarm Controller with YoLink alarm devices is similar. Refer to the associated product’s user guide for exact instructions.
   • After alarm devices have been paired to your siren(s), you can use the Mute/Unmute buttons to prevent or allow them to activate the siren, as explained in the previous section.

Unpair Your SirenFob:

1. On the SirenFob, press and hold the Start Alarm button for 10 to 15 seconds, until the LED flashes green, then red, then release the button.
2. On the siren device, press and hold the SET button for 10 to 15 seconds, until the status LED flashes green, then red.
   • The siren device will no longer respond to the SirenFob.
   • You can pair from 1 to 128 siren devices to your SirenFob!

Battery Replacement

1. Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the housing screw. Carefully place it to the side.

2. Remove the back shell.
   You may find it easier to pry open the case using a fingernail, or a slotted screwdriver. Start at the bottom of the fob, at the keyring loop. Once part of the case begins to separate, move your fingernail or screwdriver gently around the edges of the case, until the back cover comes free.

3. Remove the old batteries.

4. Install two new alkaline AAA batteries. (Do not mix old and new batteries)

5. Reassemble the fob and tighten the screw.

6. Test the operation of your fob.

Firmware Updates

• Your YoLink products are frequently being improved, with new features and functions added over time. It is periodically necessary to make changes to your fob’s firmware. For optimal performance of your fob, and to give you access to any improvements made to your fob’s model, these firmware updates should be installed (added to your fob) when they become available.
• In the Detail screen of your fob, you will see the Firmware section, as shown in the image below. A firmware update is available if it says “#### ready now” (where #### is a four-digit combination of letters and/or numbers).
• Tap in the Firmware area to start the update. The fob will update automatically, indicating the progress by percentage-complete. You may use your fob during the update process, as the update is performed “in the background”. You may see the LED slowly blink green during the update, and the update may continue for several minutes beyond the LED turning off.
• Firmware is like settings in your fob that define the overall operations of the fob, for example, determining when and how the fob’s sounder should beep. These settings are added to the fob when it is manufactured, and they are periodically updated, as needed, to add improvements, new features, new integrations, etc, to your fob, as they become available. If you use your SirenFob without an associated YoLink hub, firmware updates can not be made on your fob.

Factory Reset

When directed by customer support, and/or as an attempt to resolve a problem with your fob, it may be necessary to perform a factory reset. Factory resetting your fob returns it to the factory default programming and settings. This is a simple process:

• Hold the Unmute button for 20 to 30 seconds, until the LED blinks red and green alternately, then release the button.
• Factory reset is complete when the LED stops flashing.
• Pressing the button for longer than 30 seconds will abort the factory reset process.
• Factory reset will not remove the fob from the app. The only way to remove the fob from the app is to delete it (in the app).

Troubleshooting

• If your fob does not operate as expected, if the fob has worked before, but stopped working, check and replace the batteries, if needed. If the fob has not worked before, perform the pairing process as previously explained, then test the fob again.
• If this does not resolve the issue, please contact our customer support department (see the contact info on the last page of this guide).
• We recommend checking for and performing any available firmware updates before contacting customer support.

Warnings

• For optimal performance and lifetime of your fob, please adhere to the following warnings:
• The SirenFob is water-resistant but not waterproof. Do not allow your fob to get wet or be submerged in water or other liquids. Promptly dry off your fob if it does get wet.
  • The SirenFob is intended generally for use in indoor environments or safe from the elements. Do not leave your fob outside and/or where it it may be exposed to extreme hot or cold environments. The battery life can be adversely impacted by extreme hot or cold environments. The fob can be harmed by ice, water, or condensing moisture.
  • When replacing the batteries, only use new alkaline or lithium non-rechargeable batteries.
  • Do not use zinc blend batteries.
  • Do not mix old and new batteries.
  • Adhere to the battery manufacturer’s safety and disposal or recycling instructions.
  • If storing your fob unused for extended periods, remove the batteries.
  • Please contact Customer Support before attempting to repair, disassemble, or modify your fob, any of which can permanently damage your fob and void the warranty.
