Test the sensor signal strength
You can mount the Contact Sensor on a
door, window, drawer, cupboard, jewelry box,
or any object that opens or closes.
Before mounting the sensor, make sure you test
if the location you install the sensor is in range
from your telephone base.
• Use adhesive tape to hold the sensor
temporarily in place.
• Mount the sensor to a higher position to
avoid obstacles or blockages. Depending
on surroundings and obstructing factors,
like walls or cabinets, the sensor may not
transmit to the telephone base properly.
1. Take the sensor unit and magnet unit to
the desired mounting location, and use
adhesive tape to hold them temporarily in
place at the object and the frame.
2. Enter the Check signal mode under the
Sensor setup menu at your handset to
test the sensor signal strength.
3. Open the door, window, drawer, cupboard,
or jewelry box again and check whether a
good signal is received at your telephone
base.

you do not receive an alert when you open the
door, move the telephone base closer to the
mounting location or move the sensor closer to
the telephone base.
• Depending on surroundings and obstructing
factors, like walls or cabinets, the sensor may
not transmit to the base properly.
After testing the sensor signal strength, mark
the mounting location on the door, window,
drawer, cupboard, or jewelry box and its
respective frame. Then, remove the adhesive
tape and proceed to the mounting process.
