The keyfob also has a panic button. To use this panic button, simply
press
and hold
down for approximately one (1) second.
One remote keyfob is included with your SafeScout system and a
maximum of 6 keyfobs can be used with your SafeScout system. If you
would like more keyfobs, they are available through Sentinel Vision. For
ordering information please call our toll-free number 877-873-8800.
SafeScout keyfob
It should be noted that interference from environmental conditions such
as but not limited to florescent lighting, fish tank pumps and radio waves
could reduce the distance at which the keyfob will operate the SafeScout
monitoring unit. For optimum performance it is best to have a clear line
of sight from the keyfob to the monitoring unit with no obstructions.
Keyfob Battery Replacement Instructions
It is recommended that the battery located within the keyfob be replaced
at least once a year. To do so use a small Phillips head screwdriver to
loosen the two screws located on the back of the keyfob. Remove the
back casing cover and using a non-metallic tool (examples: a plastic pen
cap; small piece of cardboard) slide the battery out of the battery clip.
Slide the replacement battery firmly in place using your finger, replace
the back casing cover and tighten the screws securing the back casing
cover of the keyfob. Please use a Panasonic CR2032 3V Lithium,
Duracell DL2032 or equivalent
WARNING
: Make sure the new battery has the same orientation as the
old battery, the plus “+” side facing up, the same side of the keyfob PCB
as the three buttons. Failure to do so could destroy your keyfob

Siren
The SafeScout system includes a wireless siren. The SafeScout
monitoring unit communicates to the siren using standard wireless RF
(radio frequency) technology. This means you can install the siren in a
remote location away from the SafeScout monitoring unit. The delay
(soft) and alarm (loud) sounds come from the siren, not from the
SafeScout monitoring unit.
To install the siren, first open the battery compartment on the back of the
siren using a small Phillips head screwdriver (not included). Connect a 9
volt battery to the back-up battery terminals. Close the battery
compartment and screw back in the screw. Then simply plug the siren
into any standard electrical wall outlet. We have designed the siren to be
mounted on the lower half of an outlet so you can still use the other half
of the electrical receptacle. The siren should be placed no further than 50
feet from the SafeScout unit.
Never
connect the wireless siren to an
electrical extension cord or surge protector strip.
Use the extended faceplate screw provided to fasten the siren to your
outlet instead. Simply remove the center screw from the faceplate of the
wall outlet. Be careful to leave the faceplate in the same position. Plug
the siren into the lower outlet, then use the long screw provided with
your SafeScout to screw the siren into the wall outlet. Be careful not to
tighten the screw too tightly. (We recommend that you keep the old
screw in case you move.) If you need help with this process, please seek
help from a qualified electrician.
