Activation

The device is powered using two CR2477 coin batteries. To activate the 

device, pull out the tab that extends out from the bottom of the device.

Installation

The device ships with adhesive pads to install the device on a flat surface in 

an indoor environment. 
Optional accessory kits are available that allow you to mount the device in 

an indoor and outdoor environment. For more information about the 

indoor and outdoor mounting kits, contact your Aruba sales representative.

Installation using the Adhesive Pads

The four corner grooves on the bottom of the device can be used to attach 

the device on a flat surface.
Before installing the device, ensure that:

the mounting surface is indoor, flat, clean, and dust-free.
It is recommended to clean the surface using a solvent with a 50/50 

Isopropyl Alcohol and water mixture.

the grooves for adhesive pads on the bottom of the device is dust-free.

the device is activated.

Installation Steps

1. Attach the adhesive pads provided in the package onto the four grooves 

at the bottom of the device, as shown in

FCC Class B Part 15

This device complies with Part 15 of the Federal Communications 

Commission (FCC) Rules. Operation is subject to the following two 

conditions:

This device may not cause harmful interference.

This device must accept any interference received, including interference 

that may cause undesired operation. 

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a 

Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are 

designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a 

residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate 

radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the 

manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference harmful to radio 

communications.
If this equipment does cause interference, which can be determined by 

turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct 

the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to 

which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or TV technician for help.

Canada 

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate 

using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the 

transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to 

other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the 

equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that 

necessary for successful communication.
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). 

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
