    Features Your RadioShack Passive Infrared Sensor Alarm is a high-quality, battery-operated security device. It uses a passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor to detect in- truders and activate a built-in alarm. The sensor alarm’s features include: Wireless RF (Radio Frequency) Operation — pro- vides maximum reliability with no wiring required.

    ˆ Preparation INSTALLING BATTERIES The main unit of your sensor alarm requires four AA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best perfor- mance and longest life, we recommend alkaline bat- teries (available at your local RadioShack store). Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and prop- erly.

  • Page 15: Temporarily Placing The Sensor Alarm

    TEMPORARILY PLACING THE SENSOR ALARM Before you permanently mount the sensor alarm, temporarily place it at the selected location so you can check the coverage area. You might need to check several different locations to find the best one. Place the main unit on a stepladder (for example) at the recommended height, then move the stepladder to various locations in the room(s) you want to pro- tect.

  • Page 21 the indicator flashes every second for about 30 sec- onds, then the alarm siren sounds and the indicator stays on. The alarm siren sounds for up to 2 minutes. To stop it sooner, disarm the alarm (see “Disarming”). If you do not disarm the alarm, the sensor alarm is still armed and the siren will sound again the next time the sen- sor detects motion.
  • Page 22: Using The Chime Alarm

    Notes: • You can temporarily silence the alarm only once each time you disarm it. • If entering your security code does not disarm the sensor alarm, try entering the default code (1234). If that code does not disarm the alarm either, remove the sensor alarm from the wall and remove and reinstall the batteries.
