Test the sensor signal strength
You can mount the Contact Sensor on a
door, window, drawer, cupboard, jewelry box,
or any object that opens or closes.
Before mounting the sensor, make sure you test
if the location you install the sensor is in range
from your telephone base.
Use adhesive tape to hold the sensor
temporarily in place.
Mount the sensor to a higher position to
avoid obstacles or blockages. Depending
on surroundings and obstructing factors,
like walls or cabinets, the sensor may not
transmit to the telephone base properly.
1. Take the sensor unit and magnet unit to
the desired mounting location, and use
adhesive tape to hold them temporarily in
place at the object and the frame.
2. Enter the
Check signal
mode under the
Sensor setup
menu at your handset to
test the sensor signal strength.
3. Open the door, window, drawer, cupboard,
or jewelry box again and check whether a
good signal is received at your telephone
base.
NOTES
If
No signal
or
Weak signal
message is
displayed in
Check signal
mode, mode, or if
you do not receive an alert when you open the
door, move the telephone base closer to the
mounting location or move the sensor closer to
the telephone base.
Depending on surroundings and obstructing
factors, like walls or cabinets, the sensor may
not transmit to the base properly.
After testing the sensor signal strength, mark
the mounting location on the door, window,
drawer, cupboard, or jewelry box and its
respective frame. Then, remove the adhesive
tape and proceed to the mounting process.

Mount with tape
1. Attach mounting tape
C
onto the
rectangular area at the rear side of the
magnet unit,
2. Stick the magnet unit onto the door.
Mount with tape
You can choose one out of the four spacers
with suitable height, and then add it to the
magnet unit.
1. Push the spacer towards the magnet unit
until it securely clicks into place.
2. Attach mounting tape
C
onto the
rectangular area at the rear side of the
spacer.
3. Stick the magnet unit onto the door.
Mount the sensor
We recommend you mount the magnet unit
on a door, window, drawer, cupboard, or
jewelry box, and mount the sensor unit on its
respective frame.
You can use the spacers provided if there is
a difference in level between the door and
the frame. The spacer will help to align your
sensor to the correct height. You can also
use a spacer if the frame is too narrow or has
some decorative molding.
NOTES
You can mount the sensor unit with mounting
tape first, and then use screws later if you
decide to mount it at that location for long term.
Make sure the mounting surface is clean. A
textured surface or any imperfections to a
smooth surface can keep the mounting tape
from making a strong bond.
Align the magnet unit with sensor unit when
mounting.
The distance between the sensor unit and
magnet unit must be
less than 1 cm (0.4 inch)
.
