1. HOW TO SET UP AND CONNECT ALARMS:
Please note: The product label must not be
removed as it contains important information
regarding the product.
All alarms that need to be connected in the
house should be put into ‘Learn Mode’ by sliding
the switch on the back of the alarm to the ‘Learn
Mode’ position.
The red LED will light up to indicate that ‘Learn
Mode’ has been selected.
Please note that when the alarms are placed
in ‘Learn Mode’ they can’t be inserted into the
mounting base.
Press and hold the test button at one alarm only,
until it beeps and the LED flashes. This alarm
will send out a specific house code to the other
alarms.
As the other alarms receive the specific house
code, they will also flash the LED light.
When the red LED light flashes on all alarms,
they are connected and MUST BE SWITCHED
OUT OF ‘LEARN MODE’ and installed.
Label the original “Learn” alarm in order to easily
add new Cavius Wireless Family alarms to the
system.
