PLANNING YOUR HOME SECURITY NEEDS

Before you begin to install your security system, analyze the premises to deter-
mine your security needs. Consider those doors and windows which are more
likely to be used as points of entry by an intruder, the ones that are poorly lit or
the entrances that can not be seen from the street.
Sketch a map of the premisesand determine which doors and/or windows need
contact sensors and which areas of the premises need to be monitored by a
motion sensor. We recommend that you put one door/window sensor on the door
you enter/exit from most often, the other sensor on your secondary entrance and
your motion sensor monitoring the bedrooms, (stairway or hallway leading to the
bedrooms).
If you have determined that you need additional sensors, see Additional Accessories
on page 28.
Below is an example of how to position your security system in a house.

You may choose to install a motion sensor to protect any valuables such as
antiques or paintings. Point the motion sensor directly at the valuables and if
they are disturbed in any way the alarm will be sounded.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE
DOOR/WINDOW SENSOR BATTERY
Each door/window sensor operates on a 12 volt
alkaline battery that is inside the transmitter. The
sensors come with the batteries already installed.
To replace the battery:
1. Push on the clip at the bottom of the transmitter
case with a sharp object (such as a paper clip
or pen knife) and pull it away from the backplate.
2. Pry out the old battery from one end.
3. Push the new battery back into place. A diagram
beside the battery well indicates which end is
positive and which is negative.
4. Snap the transmitter back onto the backplate.
KEYCHAIN TRANSMITTER BATTERY
The Keychain Transmitter operates on a 12 volt alkaline battery which is installed
at the factory.
There are two screws on the back of the transmitter that holds the case together.
To replace the Keychain Transmitter battery:
1. Undo the two screws on the back of
the transmitter.
The back will then come off.
2. Using a small screwdriver or pen
knife, pry out the old battery from one
end.
3. Place the new battery in position.
A diagram beside the battery well
indicates which end is positive and
which is negative.
4. Close the battery cover and re-insert
the two screws.
