isolation tape out. Once the isolator tape is
removed the alarm is active.
Low Battery Indicator
The alarm has a low battery indicator light.
Push the ‘Battery Test’ button located inside
the battery compartment. If the green light
illuminates when the button is pressed, the
batteries are still good. If the light fails to
illuminate, replace all batteries.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
The alarm requires (4) LR44 (or 357) button
batteries (included). Average battery life for

5
typical usage is up to one year.
1. Slide cover off the battery compartment
located on the front of the main unit.
2. Insert (4) LR44 button batteries noting
polarity.
3. Replace battery compartment cover.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: The magnet must be placed on the
right side of the alarm. The arrows on the
alarm and the magnet must align.
1. Locate a postion on the window or door
to be protected that allows easy access to

6
the OFF/CHIME/ALARM switch. Make sure
switch is in OFF position. Make sure the
surface you are mounting to is clean and
dry. For best results, clean the mounting
surface with a mixture of 50% isopropyl
alcohol and 50% water.
2. Peel the protective covering from one side
of the double-sided tape and then apply to
the back of the alarm. Remove protective
covering from the back side of the double-
sided tape and lightly mount the alarm or
the magnet on the part of the entry that
opens (i.e. the window or door itself)

OPERATION
1. To arm the unit, locate the
OFF/CHIME/ALARM switch on the side.
Slide the switch to the desired position.
When in the ALARM position, if the
protected window or door is opened
(causing the alarm to be separated from
the magnet by more than 1/2"), the
alarm siren will sound continuously until
disarmed or when the door or window is
closed (and the gap between the alarm
and the magnet is less than 1/2”).
When in the chime position, if the door or

10
window is opened, the chime will sound.
It will sound once again when the door or
window is closed and reopened.
2. To disarm the unit toggle the switch to OFF
position. Make sure the window, door or
cabinet is closed before rearming. NOTE:
To test, a cloth can be used to cover the
alarm to reduce risk of hearing damage.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
To clean the unit housing, use a soft cloth
slightly dampened with water and wipe dry.
