Your Nexxtech Door and Window Alarm
is your 24 hour “electronic sentry.” The
alarm can sound instantly, or after a
delay that gives you time to disarm it.
Disarming the alarm is easy using one of
the two supplied keys.
Simple Wireless Installation — mounts
easily to non-metallic doors and windows
with either screws or double-sided tape
(both supplied).
Magnetic Sensor Alarm — sounds a
loud (110 dB at 1 foot (30cm)), piercing
alarm to deter would-be thieves.
Low Power Consumption — uses
less than 0.05 mA when the alarm is not
sounding for longer battery life.

Preparation
4Preparation
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your alarm requires two AAA batteries
(not supplied) for power. For the best
performance and longest life, we
recommend alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required
size and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (standard,
alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.

5Preparation
1. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to
loosen the screw on the bottom of the
alarm, then slide the cover down to
remove it.
2. Place the
batteries in the
compartment as
indicated by the
polarity symbols
(+ and –)
marked inside.
3. Replace the cover and secure it with
the screw.
Note: The alarm works only after the
batteries are installed. The alarm can
only be triggered if you open the door
or window once the first time after the
door or window was closed.

6Preparation
Replace the batteries when the alarm’s
indicator flashes red or when its sound
weakens. If the alarm does not work after
you replace the batteries, remove and
reinstall the batteries.
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
batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals
that can destroy electronic parts.
MOUNTING THE ALARM
Important:
• Your alarm uses a magnet to trigger its
internal alarm. It is designed for non-
metallic doors and windows only.

7Preparation
• Mounting the alarm on metal surfaces
can interfere with proper operation
of the magnet. Do not mount it on
metallic doors or windows.
Selecting a Location
Choose a location that lets you install
the magnet on a door or window and
the alarm next to it on the frame, or vice
versa. Mount the alarm and magnet no
more than 5/16 inch (8mm) apart, with
the magnet’s arrow pointing toward one
of the engraved lines on the side of the
alarm.
Using Screws
1. Use the supplied drilling template to
mark the locations for the alarm and
magnet’s mounting screws.

8Preparation
2. Drill holes 1/16 inch (2mm) in diameter
at the marked locations.
3. Thread one of the supplied screws
into hole A until the screw’s head
extends about 1/8 inch (3mm) from the
mounting surface.
4. Align the keyhole slot on the back of
the alarm with the screw, then slide the
alarm down onto the screw to secure it.
5. Remove the battery compartment
cover and the batteries. Then thread
a screw into hole B. Reinstall the
batteries and replace the cover.

9Preparation
6. Use an object such as a straightened
paper clip to pull the magnet’s
mounting bracket away from the
magnet.
7. Use the two remaining screws to
mount the mounting bracket.
8. Snap the magnet onto the mounting
bracket. Make sure the magnet’s arrow
points toward one of the engraved
lines on either side of the alarm.
Using Adhesive Tape
1. Make sure surfaces are free of dust, oil
and other substances.
2. Peel the backing from one side of each
of the supplied adhesive strips, then
attach them to the back of the alarm
and the magnet.

Using the Alarm
10 Using the Alarm
3. Peel the backing from the other side of
the alarm’s adhesive strip. Press the
alarm firmly against the surface where
you want to mount it and hold it in
place for about a minute.
4. With the magnet’s arrow pointing
toward one of the engraved lines on
either side of the alarm, repeat Step 3
to attach the magnet.
INSTANT ACTIVATION
To arm the alarm while you are at home,
set INSTANT/DELAY to INSTANT then
set ON/OFF to ON.

11Using the Alarm
If the secured door or window is opened
and the magnet moves away from the
alarm unit, a piercing alarm sounds for
about 90 seconds until you set ON/OFF
to OFF. After 90 seconds, the alarm turns
off and the indicator slowly flashes green.
When the alarm sounds, insert one of the
supplied keys into ON/OFF on the front of
the alarm and set it to OFF to silence it.
EXIT/ENTRY DELAY
To arm the alarm when you leave the
house, close the secured door or window,
set INSTANT/DELAY to DELAY, then set
ON/OFF to ON.
When you set ON/OFF to ON, the
indicator lights green for about 12-18
seconds before the alarm is armed,
giving you time to exit and close the door.

12 Features
After about 12-18 seconds, the alarm
arms and the indicator turns off.
Important: When you arm the alarm,
leave the house within 12 seconds to
avoid triggering the alarm.
When you return home and open the
secured door, you have about 12 seconds
to disarm (turn off) the alarm. The indicator
quickly flashes green during the entry
delay. Otherwise, the alarm sounds until
you set ON/OFF to OFF or the alarm
automatically resets (about 90 seconds).
If the alarm was triggered during your
absence, the indicator slowly flashes green.
LOW BATTERY INDICATION
If the indicator flashes red when you set
ON/OFF to ON, the alarm’s batteries are
low. Replace the batteries.
Note: If the alarm was triggered and the
batteries are low, the indicator does not
flash red but still indicates an intrusion
attempt by flashing green.

Care
13Care
Keep the alarm dry; if it gets wet, wipe it
dry immediately. Use and store the alarm
only in normal temperature environments.
Handle the alarm carefully; do not
drop it. Keep the alarm away from dust
and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth
occasionally to keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the alarm’s
internal components can cause a
malfunction and may invalidate its
warranty.
