What Is FoolProof™?
FoolProof is a monitoring device that will watch your valued
personal property 24 hours a day, while continually
performing system checks to ensure continuous reliability.
It is able to communicate with multiple remote devices that
are attached to objects that are in your proximity or
possession. This device allows you to manage objects
according to your desired parameters.
The FoolProof device is user programmable (distances,
alarm settings, object titles etc.) and may be set according
to your individual specifications. Once the base unit is
programmed and the user activates remotes, the FoolProof
Security System serves as a small network.
If you should walk away from any or all of the remote units
(outside of the distance zones you specify) or if a remote
unit leaves the specified distance zone, you may be
notified discreetly by a vibration. If you do not respond to
the vibration, the device may attempt to notify you again by
audible alarm (user selectable).
Once the alarm is activated (visual, vibration, or sound),
the LCD screen will display which personal item is in an
alarm state.

Each remote unit contains unique identification information
and will be identifiable only by its own master unit, thus
ensuring that a FoolProof device used by someone else
will not interfere with your FoolProof device.

How Does FoolProof Work?
The FoolProof Personal Security System is comprised of a
base unit and remote units.
The base unit manages the security system. The remote
units are placed on personal items that are to be
monitored. Data is transmitted and received by both units.
FoolProof continuously monitors signal and system
integrity including battery levels. Parameters that meet
your specifications are entered into the base unit. If these
preset parameters are compromised in any way, the
system will go into alarm state. Once the base unit is in
alarm state, it will notify the user by preset alarm modes
(visual, vibration, or sound).

Getting Started
Before using your new FoolProof Security System, you
should complete the following steps.
1. Install the batteries. See page #8.
2. Set up the remote(s). See page #13.
3. Set up the alarm zones. See page #16.
4. Set the time and date. See page #21.
You should also consider setting a password to provide an
extra level of protection. See page #47.

Installing the Batteries
Before using the FoolProof Security System, you must
install the included batteries.
You will need a small Phillips screwdriver.
Base Unit:
Install two AAA size batteries in the back of the base unit.
Open the battery compartment by pressing down on the
battery cover tab and pulling forward.

Page 9Rev.00.AJ FoolProof Instructions
Remote Unit:
Open the unit by unscrewing the small screw located at the
small end of the unit with a Phillips screwdriver. Carefully
insert two AAA batteries in the appropriate directions as
shown below with the + (positive) side of the battery facing
in the same direction as the positive symbol (+) printed on
the green circuit board inside the remote unit.

Operating the Base Unit
Turning the base unit on. Simply insert the batteries and
the base unit will turn itself on.
Each time the base unit is powered on, it will go through a
system check and a self-
test process. You will hear it beep
and the vibrator motor will self-test.
The first screen you will see is the MRSI logo splash
screen. To continue, press any button.
NOTE: The display (not the unit itself) will turn off two
minutes after you last pressed a button on the keypad.
This allows the unit to save battery power. However, the
unit will continue to track the remotes, unless you have
disabled the remotes or shut down the remotes and the
base unit. To view the display again, simply press any
button.
Turning the base unit off or suspending the base unit.
To turn the base unit off, you can simply remove the
batteries or use the Shutdown function. Use the SETUP
menu to access the shutdown and the suspension
functions. See the Setup Functions section on page #34
for instructions.
