CAUTION!
The 9V battery in the Wireless Alarm Panel is for power back-up purposes only, and the unit should
be supplied with main power (through the AC adaptor) at all times. Difficulty in disarming the Wireless
Alarm Panel in
ALARM
mode may occur when it is powered by the back-up battery alone. This is not
a malfunction, and can be resolved by the use of a fresh 9V battery and main power supplied through
the included AC adaptor.
IMPORTANT!
Due to the signal strength of the alarm, we advise that you change the House Security Code settings
(explained in Section 4.3) if you suspect that one of your in-range neighbors may also be using the
MaceAlert™ Solo Wireless Alarm System.
Alarm system limitations
Even the most advanced alarm systems cannot guarantee 100% protection against burglary or
environmental problems. All alarm systems are subject to possible compromise or failure-to-warn for
a variety of reasons.
* Please note that you may encounter problems with your system if:
• The siren is not placed within hearing range or is in a remote part of the premises.
• The sensors are placed behind doors or other obstacles.
• Intruders gain access through unprotected points of entry
(where sensors are not located).
• Intruders have the technical means of bypassing, jamming, or disconnecting all or part
of the system.
• The power to the sensors is inadequate or disconnected.
• The sensors are not located in acceptable operating areas e.g. too close to a heat source.
• Inadequate maintenance is the most common cause of alarm failure. Therefore, test your system
at least once per month to ensure the sensors and siren(s) are working properly.
WARNING:
Security system devices cannot compensate for loss of life or property.

The MaceAlert™ Solo Wireless Alarm System is a quality security system with a wide range of user-
friendly features. The system is controlled by a Wireless Alarm Panel, which gathers information from
wireless sensors placed inside and at the entry points of your home or office. If the Wireless Alarm
Panel detects a security breach, the LCD display will flash and the siren will sound. Details of how to
correctly install and operate the system are contained within this User Guide.
