Self-Stick Door/Window Alarm

Your RadioShack Self-Stick Door/Window Alarm is a

convenient and easy-to-use security device. You

can easily install the alarm on almost any smooth

door surface or glass window. If the alarm senses an

abrupt shock or vibration, it sounds a 120-dB alarm

to warn you and scare off possible intruders.

Its features include:

Selectable Sensitivity Switch — lets you set the

alarm’s sensitivity higher or lower.

Red Warning Label — can be seen through window

to show that your home is protected.

Automatic Reset — automatically reset the alarm in

about 30 seconds after the alarm is activated.

Intruder Memory Indicator — warns you that the

alarm has been activated.

PREPARATION

Installing the Battery

The alarm requires a 9V battery for power (not sup-

plied, available at your local RadioShack store).

Caution: Use only a fresh battery of the required

size and recommended type.

Follow these steps to install the battery:

1. Use a Philips screwdriver to loosen the screw in

the battery compartment and slide off the cover.

2. Snap a 9V battery into the connector in the bat-

tery compartment and place the battery in the

compartment.

3. Replace the cover and secure it with the screw.

Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and

properly. Do not burn or bury them.

Caution: If you do not plan to use the alarm for a

month or more, remove the battery. Batteries can

leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

Note: When the green low battery indicator flashes,

replace the battery.

Installing the Alarm

Choose a smooth, clean mounting surface, then

peel off the protective film on the back of the alarm

and firmly press the alarm against the surface.

OPERATION

Warning: The alarm is very loud. Prolonged expo-

sure to the siren in an enclosed area may cause per-

manent hearing impairment or loss.

1. To turn on the alarm, slide the cover at the upper

front of the alarm upward, then turn

ON OFF

. The red indicator flashes once.

2. Select the alarm’s sensitivity by sliding

HI/LOW

LOW

. When the alarm senses an abrupt

shock or vibration, it sounds a 120-dB alarm for

about 30 seconds. The red indicator lights and

remains lit to warn you that the alarm has been

activated.

Notes:

• If the alarm is triggered again within two min-

utes of the first alarm and while the intruder

light is still on, the subsequent alarms may be

shorter than 30 seconds.

• To reset the intruder memory indicator, simply

turn alarm off, then on.
