It provides a totally reliable source for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing to watch and to be alerted when there is a fire, smoke, propane, gas leak alarm, tornado, hurricane, severe thunder storm alert, or when a national attack warning activates its siren.

HOW YOUR.... CHAPTER 1 ALARM MONITOR KA300 WORKS KA300system is designed to monitor all existing acoustic alarm units in your living area and transfer it to a visual and vibration alarm. It will quickly help you to determine what source triggered the alarm and give you enough time to evacuate from the building or to locate a shelter. The KA300 is not an alarm system but it is the vital source for the Deaf and Hearing Impaired to rely upon in an emergency.

TEST C Example: There are 4 smoke alarms and 3 FIGURE 5 Carbon Monoxide alarms that need to be monitor in your houseOperation Code Switches hold. You will need seven KA300TX transmitters. All seven transmitters will be set at the same operation code as: 1000101010 The other three transmitters will be set at channel two.
CHAPTER 1 (CONT.) Keep the battery installed and turn the power switch to OFF before bringing it to the location. Mark on the given label for channel location as fire, mono-carbon, or weather alert and coordinate them with the installed transmitters. This label is available only for the KA300RX. Hearing Impaired people will need one KBS300RX in their bedroom for the best protection. You can buy many receivers for your needs as long as it still within the 100 feet range.
1: HOW YOUR ALARM MONITOR KA300 WORKS (CONT.) INSTALL KA300 FOR MULTI-FAMILY HOME OR HOTEL There is one hotel code applied for all KA300TX installed in the hallway. The room code is applied for each KA300TX in each room. With this set up, when there is an alarm triggered from a local fire alarm, the KA300RX receiver and KBS300RX will activate with channel one LED indicator. If the evacuating signal comes from the hallway siren, the receivers will activate and indicate channel three LED.
INSTALLING BATTERY CHAPTER 2 KA300TX Uses 3VDC, CR2032 battery and it will be installed by the manufacturer. KA300RX Uses alkaline 9V battery. Do not use rechargeable batteries. 9V Alkaline Battery KBS300RX Uses a 9V rechargeable battery (included). Do not use alkaline batteries.
SETUP OPERATION CODE CHAPTER 3 The operation code is set by DIP-switches located in the front of the KA300TX transmitter, and they are preset at the factory. If your KA300RX receiver does not respond to your KA300TX transmitter signal when the test button is pressed, or it activates from a false signal of a neighboring KA300 system, you need to change the operation code. After the code change on the transmitter, you need to program the new code into the KA300RX receiver memory.
CHAPTER 3 (CONT.) MOUNTING THE KA300TX ON THE EXISTING ALARM Use the self adhesive Velcro to attach the KA300TX to the siren of the existing alarm unit. Do not block the window of the smoke chamber or on top of the alarm sensor.
