4. Either peel the paper strip from the double-sided tape located on the back of the contact
or you can more securely attach it using screws in the hardware kit. Remove the cover from
the contact and insert the screws through the holes on the top and bottom of the contact.
5. Make sure the magnetic contact aligns with the top of the Sensor base on either the left
or right sides of the base.

FAQ'S ///
HOW FAR AWAY CAN THE SENSOR BE PLACED FROM THE GATEWAY?
Typically 60-80 feet.
CAN I PLACE THE SENSOR IN A DIFFERENT ROOM FROM THE GATEWAY?
Yes, the sensor and gateway use radio frequencies to communicate with each other.
These frequencies can go through objects like walls, ceilings and floors
HOW LONG WILL THE BATTERY LAST?
The battery is expected to last up to 12 months. This will depend on actual use and how often
the sensor is triggered. The Xanboo Door/Window Sensor includes battery saving features that make
the Sensor "hibernate" when there is no activity. It 'wakes-up' when the sensor is triggered
HOW MANY SENSORS CAN I REGISTER WITH MY GATEWAY?
The gateway can support up to 8 sensors.
THE LIGHT ON THE SENSOR IS NOT ON?
This indicates that the sensor has gone into hibernation mode. It will wake up when the sensor is triggered.
