3 IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS USE AND CARE • Do not modify the alert system in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the function and/or safety and could affect the life of the equipment. There are specific applications for which the alert system was designed. • Always check of damaged or worn out parts before using the alert system. Broken parts will affect the alert system operation. Replace or repair damaged or worn parts immediately. • Store idle alert system. When alert system is not in use, store it in a secure place out of the reach of children. Inspect it for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use. NOTES BEFORE INSTALLATION • Before installation and operation, you will require a drill, a cross-headed screwdriver,; (3) AAA 1.5V batteries,; and (3) C 1.5V batteries. All of these are not supplied with this kit. • Do not mount the transmitter on a metal frame. • Do not mount the receiver above heat sources such as radiators, or in damp areas such as a kitchen or bathroom. HOW IT WORKS There are three parts to the Driveway Alert Alert system system. The Transmitter contains a passive infrared (PIR) sensor, which detects the moving heat created by an automobile’s engine (or any other noticeably hot object moving at sufficient speed). It can send a signal to the receiver. The transmitter should be deployed outdoors, where it will have a clear view of the driveway. The Receiver mounts inside your home (or business, warehouse, shed, aircraft hangar, secret underground submarine docking station-where you need it, really, provided it’s within range of the outdoor unit). When the Chime/Low/Alert system switch is on Chime or Low position: the receiver will give out chime sound to let you know when the outdoor unit detects motion. At the same time, the LED indicators flash. When the switch is on Alert system position: When motions are detected by the transmitter, the receiver will sound 5 times (B B B B B) and the LED indicators will flash 5 times. Then, the receiver will give out alert system sounds with LED indicators flashing. LOCATION To know exactly where you should place the transmitter, and which way you should aim the PIR, it’s worth thinking about how the PIR sensor works, the range and area it can cover, as well as what may mislead it into generating a false reading. The PIR is, as its name suggests, a passive sensor (unlike a security camera with IR LEDs for night vision, which is active infrared). Basically, all objects emit some infrared radiation (we commonly call it “heat”）and the sensor looks for any of this radiation which moves..

4 OPERATION There is one switch at the right side of the receiver. It operates as follows: Chime/Low/Alert system: Move the switch to Chime position, the receiver will sound with louder chime; move to Low position, it will sound with lower chime; in Alert system position, the receiver will sound with alert system. INSTALLING & REPLACING BATTERIES Transmitter The transmitter requires 3×AAA 1.5V batteries. Remove the transmitter from its mounted position. Remove the two screws on the rear of the Outdoor Unit, which secure the battery compartment cover in place. Safely and responsibly dispose of the old batteries (if applicable). Connect three new AAA 1.5V batteries. Replace the battery compartment cover, securing screws and re-mount the transmitter. When replacing the battery cover, ensure that it makes complete contact with the sponge seal lining the battery compartment. If moisture is able to enter the transmitter, it will adversely affect performance dramatically. Receiver The receiver requires 3 x C 1.5V batteries. Remove the receiver from its mounted position. Remove the screw on the rear of the unit. Safely and responsibly, dispose of any old batteries. Insert three fresh C batteries. Don’t mix old and new batteries. CODE MATCHING When the receiver has been installed with batteries, the LED Indicators of the receiver will flash for 30 seconds, which means it is under a code-matching status. User has to finish the code matching within

5 2 the 30 seconds for transmitter, as per following instructions: Transmitter: Move your hand around the transmitter’s PIR area until the LED indicator is on. At the same time the receiver will sound with three short beeps, indicating the transmitter has successfully matched the code with the receiver. The receiver is equipped with maximum 5 codes. If no code is matched within 30 seconds after battery installation, the receiver will come into an energy-saving mode. When there is a code matched after 30 seconds, the receiver will be automatically out of code matching mode. Note that the receiver is only under a code matching status for the first 30 seconds. It won’t give out any chime or alert system sound even if there is signal coming. WALL MOUNT To mount the devices on the wall, you will require a drill and cross-headed screwdriver. IMPORTANT: Before you drill any hole in the wall, please make sure there are not cables or pipes that you may accidentally damage. Additionally you have to make sure the two mounting positions for the transmitter and the receiver are within the operating range (you should test them to see if they work). Transmitter Unit Drill a hole on the wall at the desired height. 1 Insert a wall plug (included) into the hole. Then insert a screw (included) into the wall plug. Be noted that you should not insert completely the screw into the wall plug, but keep a suitable length out of the wall surface, which is to hold the transmitter. Finally you can hang the transmitter. (Mounting on UPVC or metal doorframe surfaces will reduce the transmitting range.) Receiver Unit Drill two holes on the wall at your desired height. The distance between the two holes should match the two hanging holes at the back of the receiver.. 1 Then insert two wall plugs (included) into the holes. After that, insert two screws (included) into the wall plugs. Be noted that you should not insert completely the screws into the wall plug, but keep a suitable length out of the wall surface, which is to hold the receiver. Finally you can hang the receiver. Avoid positioning on UPVC Frames, above heat sources (e.g. radiator) or in damp areas such as a kitchen or bathroom. MAINTENANCE • Maintain your alert system. It is recommended that the general condition of any alert system be examined before it is used. Keep your alert system in good repair by adopting a program of conscientious repair and maintenance. Have necessary repairs made by qualified service personnel.
