Failure to do so may cause electric
shock and/or excessive heat
resulting in a fire.
RRegularly remove any dust, etc.
from the AC adaptor/power plug by
pulling it from the power outlet, then
wiping with a dry cloth. Accumulated
dust may cause an insulation defect
from moisture, etc. resulting in a fire.
RUnplug the product from power
outlets if it emits smoke, an
abnormal smell, or makes an
unusual noise. These conditions can
cause fire or electric shock. Confirm
that smoke has stopped emitting
and contact an authorised service
centre.
RUnplug from power outlets and
never touch the inside of the product
if its casing has been broken open.
Danger of electric shock exists.
RNever touch the plug with wet
hands. Danger of electric shock
exists.
RDo not connect non-specified
devices.
Installation
RTo prevent the risk of fire or
electrical shock, do not expose the
product to rain or any type of
moisture.
RDo not place or use this product
near automatically controlled
devices such as automatic doors
and fire alarms. Radio waves
emitted from this product may cause
such devices to malfunction
resulting in an accident.
RDo not allow the AC adaptor to be
excessively pulled, bent or placed
under heavy objects.
RInstall the product only on a vertical
surface. Do not install the product on

determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF (radio
frequency) energy. DECT features
operate between 1.88 GHz and
1.90 GHz with a peak transmission
power of 250 mW.
RDo not use the product in health
care facilities if any regulations
posted in the area instruct you not to
do so. Hospitals or health care
facilities may be using equipment
that could be sensitive to external
RF energy.

RConsider the installation
environment carefully when
installing the product. Pay particular
attention to infants, children, and the
elderly, as they may be more
sensitive to loud sounds and strobe
lights.

4Installation
Install the siren in the desired
location.
Registering the siren
This procedure is not required for
devices that were included as part of
a bundle.
Before you can use the siren, it must
be registered to the hub.
If you purchased devices separately
(i.e., not as part of a bundle), you must
register each device to the hub.
You can register each device by using
the registration buttons or the [Home
Network] app.
Note:
RBefore registering the siren, make
sure the AC adaptors of the hub and
siren are connected and each
device is powered.
Using registration buttons
1Hub:
Press and hold M OTHER
DEVICEN until the LED indicator
blinks slowly in green.
2Siren:
Press and hold MN until the
LED indicator blinks slowly in
green (page 8).
RWhen registration is complete,
the hub sounds one long beep.
Note:
RTo cancel without registering the
siren, press MN on the hub and
on the siren again.
RIf registration fails, the hub sounds
several short beeps.
Using the app
When you register the siren by using
the [Home Network] app, you can
assign a name to your devices and
group them by location. For more
information, refer to the User’s Guide
(page 13).

Confirming the
usage area
Wireless communication
range
The wireless communication range of
each device in the system from the hub
is approximately 50 m indoors and
approximately 300 m outdoors.
Wireless communication may be
unreliable when the following obstacles
are located between the hub and other
devices.
RMetal doors or screens
RWalls containing aluminium-sheet
insulation
RWalls made of concrete or
corrugated iron
RDouble-pane glass windows
RMultiple walls
RWhen using each device on
separate floors or in different
buildings
Note:
RYou can use the siren’s LED
indicator to confirm the siren’s
communication status (page 8). If
the LED indicator is lit in green or is
blinking quickly in red, the siren is
communicating properly with the
hub.
Usage area cautions
Using the siren in the following areas
may cause deformation, malfunction, or
operational failure.
RIn direct sunlight
RAreas exposed to grease or steam,
such as kitchens
RNear fire or heating devices
RNear magnetic fields (such as near
microwaves and magnets)
RAreas subject to extreme
temperature changes, such as next
to air conditioners
RAreas with reflective objects, such
as glass, that can interfere with
detection of temperature variation
RAreas where the temperature is
affected by strong illuminating
objects (such as fluorescent lights)
RNear devices that emit strong radio
waves, such as mobile phones
