Welcome.
Before you install, you need to decide:
• How are you going to power your Outdoor Siren?
• Where are you going to mount it?
Power Options
You can choose one or more power sources.
Where to install
The Outdoor Siren should be mounted on the
outside of your home. Choose a place that
meets these criteria:
Visibility
Your Outdoor Siren’s LED lights and siren should
be visible to anyone.
Safe access
You should install the Outdoor Siren in a spot where
you can access the batteries safely. If you need to use
a ladder, make sure there is solid ground below.
Close to your power source
If using the Plug-in adapter or hardwiring the
Outdoor Siren, it should be close to an outlet or

make sure the spot gets good sunlight.

compatible with your exterior wall material
• #2 Phillips head screwdriver
• Mounting hardware included with
the Outdoor Siren, including screws,
anchors, and mounting bracket
Caution: When standing on a ladder, please use extra caution
when performing these tasks to minimize the risk of falling.

2. Complete a communications test
Before you begin installation, let’s make
sure the spot you’ve chosen will be able to
communicate with your alarm system.
3. Mount the Outdoor Siren bracket
1. Hold the mounting bracket at the
intended installation location and
level it using the bubble level.
2. Mark your holes using the mounting
bracket as a guide.
3. Drill holes using a 7/32” (6mm) drill bit, if
using the included optional wall anchors.
4. If mounting on a softer exterior surface
such as wood, you can drill the mounting
screws directly into the wall surface.
5. Adjust the tamper arm screw to ensure that it
makes contact with the mounting surface.
Press the Test button inside the battery compartment
on the back of the Outdoor Siren. The LED lights on
the front will flash — this may take up to 30 seconds.
• Green means the test is successful.
• Red means it failed. Try moving a Range
Extender between the Outdoor Siren and the
alarm system, or find a new wall or area to
mount the Outdoor Siren, then test again.
