Operation and Features:

BASE STATION:

• Antenna Volume: Adjust the volume of the Base Station. The lowest volume setting is the mute feature.
• On/Off Button: Hold down the power button to turn the Base Station on and off. The Base Station will emit an on/off tone.
• Programming Additional Motion Sensors: The Base Station can learn the code of up to 7 additional Motion Sensors, responding with unique buzzes. To program additional Motion Sensors, refer to Step 4. To order additional Motion  Sensors, call 1-800-528-9131.
• Clear Memory: Press and hold the Learn Button on the Base Station until you hear 3 beeps.

Assembly and Programming:

1. Attach the Motion Sensor box to the mounting plate using the large silver screw. Tighten the screw until the Motion Sensor stays in place when repositioned.
2. Install 4 AA Alkaline batteries (Lithium batteries recommended for colder environments). The LED light will flash.

SWITCH SETTINGS:

• Switch #1: OFF (15 Feet / 4.5 m Detection Range) / ON (30 Feet / 9.1 m Detection Range) – Default: ON
• Switch #2: OFF (Low Sensitivity) / ON (High Sensitivity) – Default: ON

Note: To avoid detection of small animals, move  Switch #2 to OFF.

3. Plug in the Base Station and adhere rubber pads to the bottom   of the base.

4. Optional: Insert 4 AA batteries as a backup power source in case of a power failure.

5. Ensure the Base Station and Motion Sensor are in close proximity  to each other. Press and release the Learn Button on the Base Station. The Base Station will emit a buzzer sound. Within 60 seconds, press the Learn Button on the inside of the Motion Sensor. The LED light will illuminate, and the Base Station will buzz

6. Insert the battery pack facing away from the circuit board and  fasten the cover with the smallest screws provided.
   Note: Ensure the batteries do not touch the circuit board and that the antenna and battery wires are not pinched.

7. Test the Motion Sensor by waving your hand in front of it. The LED light should flash, and the Base Station will buzz a certain number of times to indicate which sensor has been activated.

MOTION SENSOR INSTALLATION

7. Mount the Motion Sensor horizontally on a solid surface, 3-5 feet (1-1.5 m) off the ground, and within 1/2 mile (0.8 km) of the Base Station (rotate sensor to access screw holes). The unit should   be able to swivel as needed. Attach the sun/rain shield.

Note: Keep the Motion Sensor antenna away from metal objects. Do not mount the Motion Sensor in direct sunlight, near moving tree branches, or in the path of a sprinkler system.

FAQs

• Q: Can I use rechargeable batteries with the Base Station?
  • A: Yes, you can use rechargeable batteries with the Base Station. However, it is recommended to use Lithium batteries for colder environments.
• Q: How many additional Motion Sensors can the Base Station learn?
  • A: The Base Station can learn the code of up to 7 additional  Motion Sensors.
• Q: How do I clear the memory of the Base Station?
  • A: Press and hold the Learn Button on the Base Station until you hear 3 beeps.
• Q: Can I order additional Motion Sensors?
  • A: Yes, you can order additional Motion Sensors by calling 1-800-528-9131.

Operation and Features

• On/Off: To turn the Base Station on and off, hold down the power button until you hear the on/off tone.

• Volume: The Base Station is equipped with adjustable volume controls. The lowest volume setting is the mute feature.

• Batteries: If the Base Station batteries are low, the Base Station will beep every 30 minutes. The AA batteries in the Motion Sensor will last up to 2 years depending on use (Lithium batteries are recommended for colder environments). If the Motion Sensor batteries are low, the Base Station will beep every 30 minutes until the batteries are replaced. The Motion Sensor will continue to operate with a low battery, however the light will not illuminate. For peak performance, inspect batteries annually and replace as needed.

• Programming Additional Motion Sensors: The Base Station can learn the code of up to 7 additional Motion Sensors, responding with unique buzzes. To program additional Motion Sensors see Step 4.
  To order additional Motion Sensors call 1-800-528-9131.

• Clear Memory: Press and hold the Learn Button on the Base Station until 3 beeps are heard.

Assembly and Programming

1. Attach the Motion Sensor box to the mounting plate with a large silver screw. Tighten screw until Motion Sensor stays in place when repositioned.

2. Install 4 AA Alkaline batteries. (Lithium batteries are recommended for colder environments.)

   NOTE: Ensure the batteries do not touch the circuit board and the antenna and battery wires are not pinched.

6. Test Motion Sensor by waving hand in front of sensor. LED light should flash and the Base Station will buzz X number of times indicating which sensor has been activated.

MOTION SENSOR INSTALLATION

• Mount Motion Sensor horizontally on solid surface 3-5 feet (1-1.5 m) off the ground and within 1/2 mile (0.8 km) of Base Station (rotate sensor to access screw holes). Unit should be able to swivel as needed. Attach sun/rain shield.
  NOTE: Keep Motion Sensor antenna away from metal objects. Do not mount Motion Sensor in direct sunlight, near moving tree branches, or in the path of a sprinkler system.

Vehicle Alert Installation: For cars, the best mounting position is about 4 feet (1.2 m) high, between 10-20 feet (3-6 m) back, and angled to see the back of car after passing the sensor.

Troubleshooting

• The Motion Sensor lights up, but the Base Station does not respond.
  • The Motion Sensor must be programmed to Base Station (See Step 4). Ensure Base Station is on and the volume is turned up.
• Motion Sensors detect motion only part of the time.
  • Ensure the Motion Sensor is set to the High Sensitivity setting (See Step 2). To detect cars, it is best to mount Motion Sensor at height of car’s motor and have it between 10-20 feet (3-6 m) from the road. Swivel sensor as needed.
• The Wireless Motion Detection System is giving false alarms.
  • Check for moving tree branches or insects in the sensor window. Motion Sensors can also be triggered by light shining directly in sensor window, such as reflected sunlight, or motion in front of a light source. It is possible that condensation has built up on the sensor. Wipe condensation from the Motion Sensor with a cotton swab. Let it sit inside for a few hours, open to the air, without the batteries and it should correct itself. Check Sensor Switches on the Motion Sensor. See Switch Settings.
• Base Station beeps every 30 minutes.
  • The batteries in the Base Station or the Motion Sensor(s) are low. Replace the 4 AA batteries. Check the Motion Sensor(s), if the LED illuminates on all of the Motion Sensors, change the batteries in the Base Station.
• The Wireless Motion Detection System is not getting the expected transmission range.
  • Keep both antennas vertical and keep the Motion Sensor antenna away from trees and metal objects. Ensure Base Station is in clearest possible sight of the Motion Sensor. The less objects between the devices, the longer the range.
