RECHARGING THE TRANSMITTER
The sensors automatically recharge using built-in solar panels. If using in a dark, interior space
without light, you can recharge the sensor using the power adapter that came with your
receiver:
1. Remove the red plug on the back of the sensor.
2. Connect a power adapter from the power jack to a power outlet.
Note:
Your sensors’ batteries last 2–3 weeks without charging.
ADJUSTING THE VOLUME
Press
(volume) button repeatedly to adjust the volume (four levels and off ). The lights show
the volume level for four seconds.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If you are getting false alarms:
•
Make sure that there are no tree branches or other obstructions blocking the sensors. If the
sensor is continually blocked, it will send an alert every hour.
•
You may receive false alerts during extreme rain, snow, or fog.
If the transmitter is not detecting:
•
Make sure that the transmitter is coded to the receiver. See “Coding your receiver” on page
4
for coding instructions.
•
Turn the sensors’ power off for 60 seconds, then turn the power back on.
•
Move the transmitter closer to the receiver.
•
Keep the transmitter away from large metal objects that may interfere with the radio signal.
•
Make sure that the sensors are correctly aligned:
»
Cover only the top two windows – the sensor should not alert.
»
Cover only the bottom two windows – the sensor should not alert.
»
Cover all three windows – the unit should alert. When properly aligned, the sensor unit
only alerts when all three infrared holes are covered.
