49-329.fm Page 5 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 4:23 PM PREPARATION INSTALLING BATTERIES The main unit of your sensor alarm requires four AA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend alkaline batteries (available at your local RadioShack store). Cautions: • Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
49-329.fm Page 6 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 4:23 PM 2. Place the batteries in the compartment and on top of the attached ribbon, as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside. Note: As soon as you press the last battery in place, the alarm sounds a loud chirp and both the red and the green indicators light briefly. 3. Replace the cover, then reinsert and tighten the screws. Notes: • The alarm is disarmed after batteries are installed.
49-329.fm Page 7 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 4:23 PM so the sensor alarm will recognize the remote signals (see “Remote Control” on Page 10). When the main unit’s LOW BATT indicator flashes about every 5 seconds, or if the sensor alarm stops operating properly, replace the batteries.

Coverage Area (Side View) 1/ feet 5 1/2 5Feet 2 SIDE VIEW "A" ZONE 10 feet "C" ZONE Blind Area (10 Feet) "B" ZONE Note: Your sensor alarm’s coverage depends on how high you mount it, the shape of the room(s), furniture placement in the area, and so on.
49-329.fm Page 15 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 4:23 PM Checking the Coverage Area To be sure the sensor detects motion in the areas you want to protect, follow these steps. 1. If necessary, disarm the sensor alarm (the red indicator should not be flashing) by entering the current security code. 2. Confirm that the area is clear of anything that might trigger the alarm (such as people and pets). 3. Set the main unit’s slide switch to CHIME. A doorbell-type chime immediately sounds.
49-329.fm Page 16 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 4:23 PM are within the coverage area, change the main unit’s location. • If the sensor alarm chimes when you are outside the coverage area, check the area to see what is causing the false alarm and remove the item, or change the main unit’s location. MOUNTING THE SENSOR ALARM After you determine the best location for your sensor alarm, follow these steps to mount it on the wall. 1.

49-329.fm Page 18 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 4:23 PM OPERATION We recommend that you test the sensor alarm at least once a month by arming and disarming it as described in the following section. ARMING AND DISARMING THE SENSOR ALARM Arming To have the alarm’s siren sound as soon as the sensor detects motion, set the main unit’s slide switch to INSTANT. ARM CHIME INSTANT DELAY LOW BATT PROG To have the alarm’s siren sound about 30 seconds after the sensor detects motion, set the slide switch to DELAY.
49-329.fm Page 19 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 4:23 PM To arm the sensor alarm, press ARM on the main unit or on the remote control. At either the INSTANT or DELAY settings, you have 10 seconds to leave the sensor alarm’s coverage area. During this exit delay, the main unit beeps every second and its red indicator flashes. At the end of the 10-second delay, the main unit beeps twice, the indicator flashes about every 5 seconds, and the sensor alarm is armed.
49-329.fm Page 20 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 4:23 PM The alarm siren sounds for up to 2 minutes. To stop it sooner, disarm the alarm (see “Disarming”). If you do not disarm the alarm, the sensor alarm is still armed and the siren will sound again the next time the sensor detects motion. Disarming To disarm the sensor alarm and stop the alarm from sounding, enter your four-digit security code. The main unit beeps twice when you enter the correct code.
49-329.fm Page 21 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 4:23 PM • If entering your security code does not disarm the sensor alarm, try entering the default code (1234). If that code does not disarm the alarm either, remove the sensor alarm from the wall and remove and reinstall the batteries. This resets the security code to 1234. USING THE CHIME ALARM If you prefer to hear a chime instead of a siren when the sensor alarm detects motion, follow these steps. 1.
49-329.fm Page 22 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 4:23 PM USING THE PANIC ALARM If you want to startle an intruder (for example) by instantly sounding the alarm siren, simply press PANIC on the main unit or press ARM and DISARM on the remote control at the same time. The siren alarm immediately sounds, even if the sensor alarm was set to CHIME or not armed at all. The alarm sounds for up to 2 minutes. To stop it sooner, enter your current security code.
49-329.fm Page 23 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 4:23 PM CARE To enjoy your RadioShack Passive Infrared Sensor Alarm for a long time: • Keep the sensor alarm and remote dry.
