Figure 5
Figure 1
When the 9-volt battery in the door alarm is low and needs to be
replaced, the horn will chirp once every 10 seconds. To replace the 9-
volt battery, remove the old 9-volt battery then wait at least 30 seconds
before connecting the new 9-volt battery. The 9-volt battery life for the
door alarm is approximately 6 months. Test your door alarm weekly by
opening the door and allowing the alarm to sound. When the battery
power in the Outdoor Wireless Transmitter is low the door alarm will give
3-4 QUICK BEEPS instead of ONE BEEP like it does when you are
entering the dwelling, see section 5B for normal operating conditions.
The Outdoor Wireless Transmitter battery life is several years, this bat-
tery is not replaceable. Contact Poolguard to purchase a replacement
Outdoor Wireless Transmitter, Model #OWT.

SWIMMING POOL SAFETY TIPS
• Supervise children at all times.
•Never permit swimming alone. Never leave a child alone, even
to answer the telephone.
•Always remove the entire solar cover from a pool before
swimming.
•Remember that alcohol and water safety do not mix.
•Have your pool area fenced and the gate locked to prevent
unauthorized entry to the pool, and install a gate alarm.
•Lock and secure all doors in the house which permit easy
access to the pool, and install a door alarm.
•Have a responsible adult teach swimming and water safety to
your children.
•Maintain clean, clear water in the pool.
• Do not swim during electrical storms.
•Do not permit bottles, glass, or sharp objects to be used
around the pool.
•Ask your pool dealer how you can improve your pool
safety––they will be glad to assist you.
•Above all: remember that common sense, awareness, and
caution will allow you to enjoy your pool.
IMPORTANT: If you are installing more than one of these Door
Alarms at your residence, follow these instructions and Install
the 9 volt batteries and Door Alarms one at a time.
• Install a 9 volt battery into the 1st Door Alarm and install the
Door Alarm and Outdoor Wireless Transmitter according to
the manual. Now press and hold the Outdoor Wireless Transmitter
Pass Thru Switch for 2 to 4 seconds until the Door Alarm gives
ONE BEEP. This ONE BEEP means that the installation is now
complete and you can now install the next Door Alarm.
