a) General
• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. These may become
dangerous playing material for children.
• Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high
humidity, moisture, flammable gases, vapours and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and

if the product:
- is visibly damaged,

• Do not hold the product too close to your ear. The alarm sound is very loud.
Extreme volumes can cause hearing damage.
• Do not place sources of open fire, such as candles, on or next to the device.
• Never pour any liquids over electrical devices or put objects filled with liquid
right next to the device. If liquid or an object enters the interior of the device
nevertheless, first power down the respective socket (e.g. switch off circuit
breaker) and then pull the mains plug from the mains socket. Do not operate the
product anymore afterwards, but take it to a specialist workshop.
• Never use the product immediately after it has been brought from a cold room
into a warm one. The condensation generated could destroy the product. Allow
the device to reach room temperature before connecting and using it. This may
take several hours.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of the

contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.
b) Batteries
• Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the batteries.
• Batteries should be removed from the device if it is not used for a long period of
time to avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged batteries might cause
acid burns when in contact with skin, therefore use suitable protective gloves to
handle corrupted batteries.
• Batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave batteries lying
around, as there is risk, that children or pets swallow them.
• All batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and new batteries in
the device can lead to battery leakage and device damage.
• Do not disassemble, short-circuit or throw batteries into fire. Never recharge non-
rechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!

Operation
• On delivery there are 3x type LR44 button batteries in the battery compartment. There is
an insulating film between the battery contacts to protect the product from unintentionally
triggering an alarm during transport. Pull the film out of the slot at the back to expose the
battery contacts.
• The pocket alarm can be carried comfortably in a pocket. However, keep it ready to hand, so
that the alarm can be triggered without any problems in an emergency. Also take note, that
the alarm buttons cannot be unintentionally pressed simultaneously at both sides.
• The product can be attached e.g. to a bunch of keys or a wrist strap at the eyelet (1). The
pocket alarm can also be attached to a pair of trousers or a jacket with the clip (2) on the
back.
• Press the alarm buttons (3) at both sides simultaneously to trigger the alarm. A loud siren
sound is triggered instantly.
Do not hold the product to close to your ear. The alarm sound is very loud. Extreme
volumes can cause hearing damage.
• Press the switch-off button (5) to deactivate the alarm sound.
Replacing the batteries
• Change the batteries when the volume decreases, or at least once a year.
• Unscrew the 4 screws of the battery compartment cover (4) with a suitable Phillips screwdriver.
Carefully remove the battery compartment cover. Note the position of the switch-off button (5),
in case this comes loose when removing the battery compartment cover.
• In this case the alarm buttons (3) loosen at both sides. After changing the batteries, the alarm
buttons must be carefully replaced in the original position.
• Remove the used batteries and insert 3 equivalent new type LR44 button batteries in the
battery compartment. Observe correct polarity (+/-) as indicated in the battery compartment.
The plus side of the battery must point towards the spring in the battery compartment. Insert
the batteries in the same direction.
• Place the alarm buttons on the side of the casing and make sure, that the switch-off button
is in its correct position.
