What is it?
The Motion Sensor detects activity in your home, as part of the AlertMe Intruder Alarm. It is battery powered
and looks like this:
It looks out across your home from a vantage point near the top of a wall. There's more info here.
How do I start it up?
To put in a battery, squeeze the tabs on opposite sides of the sensor, and lift off the front (see here for
pictures or here for a movie). The battery is supplied by AlertMe in the Motion Sensor box. Clip the back on the
sensor again when you have put the battery in. The light should then blink twice every few seconds for a while;
this will stop once the Motion Sensor is communicating with the Hub. If the light does not turn on at all, then

If it stops flashing, but does not appear on the website as an icon, wait a few minutes. If that doesn't work, try
taking the battery out for 10 seconds, replacing it, and waiting another few minutes. If it still doesn't appear,
click here.
Where should I put it?
Motion Sensors protect areas you think an intruder might walk through - they are good in hallways, for
example. They are also excellent for monitoring areas where there are many external access points (doors and
windows), where a lot of Door/Window Sensors would be needed.
The Motion Sensor can be used to check for activity in a room or area in your home. The Motion Sensor is
designed for use indoors. A hallway, or in a ground floor room pointing towards a door, are good choices. You
should position it so that it has a good view across the area you want to protect, but try to position your
Motion Detector so that it points away from windows or exterior doors. Your AlertMe Motion Sensor will
sense motion in a range up to 10m. Make sure you put the Motion Detector the right way up! Bear in mind
that the Motion Detector may detect medium to large pets.
