Personal Alarm with Motion Sensor
Your RadioShack Personal Alarm
sounds a 90 dB alarm when you press
a button or remove its hand strap. Or,
you can set it to detect motion and
place it where its alarm will alert you to
intruders or deter a thief. It also has a
built-in flashlight.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your Personal Alarm requires three
AAA batteries for power. We recom-
mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the re-
quired size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries
or different types of batteries.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Gently press on the battery com-
partment cover and slide it off in
the direction of the arrow.
2. Place three AAA batteries in the
compartment according to the po-
larity symbols (+ and –) marked in-
side.
3. Replace the cover.
When the alarm's sound weakens or the
light dims, replace all three batteries.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries prop-
erly. Do not burn or bury them.
TRIGGERING THE ALARM
You can set the alarm to sound when it
detects motion, when you press a but-
ton, or when you pull off the hand strap.
Using the Motion Sensor
Place the alarm on a flat, stable surface,
then slide the switch to
MOTION ALARM
.
The indicator lights for about 30 sec-
onds, during which time you can reposi-
tion the alarm. After the indicator turns
off, the alarm triggers if it is moved.
When the alarm is triggered, its light
flashes and a warning tone sounds for
about 20 seconds. Then the tone stops
and the alarm returns to standby mode.
Any further motion will trigger the alarm
again.
To silence the alarm or turn it off so it
does not sound, slide the switch to the
middle or
LIGHT
position. Or, press the
black button near the hand strap on the
back of the case.
