SETTING UP THE MAIL ALERT RE-
CEIVER:
1. Plug the AC adapter into any standard electri-
cal wall outlet and the other end into the back of
the receiver. The green power light will turn on.
2. Mail Alert comes with a 9-inch antenna which
plugs into the antenna jack on the back of the
receiver. The antenna should be vertical. Since
it may come out of the package bent - you can
simply bend it back to a straight position.
TESTING THE SYSTEM PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
1. The sensor and receiver are factory set to a unique code. Test the
system by flipping the sensor over while you are more than 5 feet away
from the receiver. When the sensor is face up the red "MAIL" light will start
to flash, signaling the unit is functioning normally.
If the unit does not respond, first check that the receiver has power and
that the battery is inserted correctly in the sensor. If the receiver still does
not respond, see the Sensor Learning section under Troubleshooting on
Page 3.
MOUNTING THE SENSOR:
Attach the Mail Alert sensor to the inside of the mail box using the double-
stick foam tape provided or with two screws. Do not cover the small ven-
tilation plug on the back of the sensor with
the double stick tape. The round end of
the case should be pointing up when the
mail box door is closed.
