Changing the
Sensor’s Message
Low Battery Reminder
When any of the Sensor/Transmitters
experience a low battery condition, the
“LOW BATTERY” LED will flash on the
top of the Base Station.It will also sound
a pre-recorded Low Battery Message.By
pressing the “PLAYBACK” button, your
“Low Battery Message” will play, as well
as the recorded message identifying the
Sensor/Transmitter that needs battery
replacement.
Missed message LED
Indicator
The missed message LED indicator light
will blink after detection is made.This is
useful if you’ve been away from home.It
alerts you that activity has been detected
in a specific location.
Playback Button &
Message (“MSG”) LED
When a message is triggered by one
or more Sensor/Transmitters, the
“PWR MSG” LED will flash, notifying
you that a trigger has occurred. By
pressing the “PLAYBACK” button, each
message that was triggered will play.
The system will then clear the trig-
gered messages and the “PWR
MSG” LED will stop flashing. This is
helpful in the event that you miss
hearing the message because you
weren’t near the base station or you
were away from home when it was
activated.

Battery Saving Option
To extend the life of your battery, you
may disable the red LED that glows
through the front of the Sensor/
Transmitter. Move the W1 switch (A)
(see Diagram 1) to the “OFF” position.
Activating Switch Contacts
You can use your SoundAlert Sensor/
Transmitter to activate switch contacts
that will transmit to the Base Station.
This would be used, for example, if
you want a doorbell to activate one of
your recorded base station messages.
1. Move the switch on “SW2” to OFF
position (C) (see Diagram 2).This
deactivates sensor.
2. Use a small screwdriver to open dry
contacts (E) on the terminal block (D).
3. Insert the two wires from your
switch contact into the terminal block.
