simultaneous transmission back to the receiver in your
Watchguard Home Alarm
System
. The receiver can only decode one coded signal at any given time.

If the unit is mounted close to metal frames or doors, this may reduce the radio
transmitting range.

The detector is not waterproof and is designed for indoor use only.
2.5.2. Powering the detector
When you first remove the detector from the box it is not
powered, although the batteries are in place. To turn the
detector on, pull the piece of plastic from beneath one of the
battery terminals (in the direction indicated in
figure 8
). As
soon as the plastic is removed the red and green lights will
flash for a few seconds.
If they do not flash, the plastic has not been removed
properly. You may need to clear any excess plastic from
under the battery terminal. If all plastic has been cleared and
the detector is still not responding then remove the batteries,
which the plastic was covering. Lift the bottom terminals and
push down the top terminals for tighter battery connections.
Slide the batteries back into their original position. If after
this you still don’t have any response from the detector then
the batteries may be flat.

2.5.3. Warm up period
You must wait approximately
3 minutes
for the detector to
warm up after connecting the batteries. This time starts from
when the detector starts flashing both red and green lights
after removing the piece of plastic from under one of the
battery terminals. During this period the detector
will not
respond
and should be left untouched until the 3 minute
period is up. 3 minutes after power up, the green and red
lights will flash together 6 times to indicate the detector is
exiting test mode. The detector will now automatically enter
Intelligent Power Saving
(IPS) mode (see
section 3.8.2
).
