INTRODUCTION
Your Radio Shack Smoke Alarm Si-
ren Detector gives you extra protec-
tion if a smoke alarm is out of
normal hearing range. The detector
listens for the siren from the smoke
alarm. When the detector
hears the
siren, it sends a signal to the base,
which sounds the system’s alarm.

Notes:
• The siren detector does not
detect smoke. It only detects the
sound from a smoke alarm.
• We suggest you use a Radio
Shack Cat. No. 49-466 Smoke
Alarm with the siren detector.
Other smoke alarms might not
work properly.
• Be sure you test the siren detec-
tor as described under “Testing”
on Page 12.

MOUNTING THE
DETECTOR
To ensure the siren detector de-
tects the smoke alarm when it
sounds, mount the detector 4–6
inches from a UL-approved smoke
alarm (Cat. No. 49-466).
Follow these steps to mount the de-
tector.
1. At the desired mounting location,
drill two holes 13/4inches apart,
one above the other.

2. Thread the supplied screws into
the holes until each screw’s head
extends about 1/4inch from the
wall.
3. Line up the keyhole slots on the
detector with the screws on the
mounting location, then slide the
detector down onto the screws
until it is secure.
After you mount the siren detector,
be sure you test it as described un-
der “Testing” on Page 12.
