Disconnecting the Model 1108 for Storage or

Seasonal Use.

If you plan to employ the Model 1108 as a seasonal "watchdog"
for a few months during the year, you must disconnect all wires
from the unit completely to avoid damage to the circuitry when
the unit is not in use. If the unit is unplugged but left in place
with all the sensors still connected, the wires act as antennae that
draw in any stray "electrical noise" from such devices as fans,
blowers, microwaves, etc.
Additionally, it is important to remove the batteries, or they will
discharge until they fail.
Preserve your Model 1108 during the off-season, or when not in
use:
• Remove the sensor wires at the screw terminals
• Remove the batteries
• Unplug the unit and store in a safe place
