INTRODUCTION
The Window Alarm is a vibration-
activated alarm that is fitted
directly to the glass of windows
(and doors). The vibration
caused by an impact on the
window or by someone forcing
open and breaking the window
will activate the alarm.
Safety: The use of ear protection
is advisable when working in close
proximity to the Siren due to the
high sound level produced.
These instructions should be retained in a safe place for future reference.

INSTALLATION
This alarm is suitable for mounting
in dry interior locations only.
1) Fix the alarm in position on
the window glass using the
adhesive pad supplied. Ensure
that the surface is clean and
free from grease and dirt before
applying the adhesive pads.
2) Slide off the battery compart-
ment cover.
3) If fitted, carefully remove the
battery isolation tab from
between the batteries. If the
batteries are dislodged replace
them noting the correct polarity
shown inside the battery
compartment.
4) Replace the battery cover.
SYSTEM OPERATION
Select the operating sensitivity, Hi
or Lo as required using the slide
switch on the side of the alarm.
Lo Alarm active - Low sensitivity
Hi Alarm active - High sensitivity
OFF Alarm inactive /stop siren
Note: Setting the alarm to Low
sensitivity will require a greater
amount of vibration to trigger the
alarm but will make it less prone to
false alarms.
When triggered the alarm will
sound for approx. 30s when the
device will automatically reset or
until the alarm is switched OFF.
TESTING
It is recommended that the alarm
is tested immediately after
installation and at regular
intervals not exceeding 1 month.
To test the alarm, tap the window
next to the alarm to activate the
vibration sensor and trigger the
alarm. To stop the alarm move
the selector switch to the OFF
position. Remember to reset the
selector switch in the original
position after the test.
Note: A cloth can be used to
cover the siren and reduce the
sound output of the alarm during
testing.

To test the battery remove the
battery cover and press the
battery test button, if the battery
status indicator LED does not
illuminate or is dim then the
battery should be replaced.
