Installing Batteries in the Driveway Sensor:
1. Open the case of the driveway sensor by
unscrewing the top in a counterclockwise
direction.
2. Remove the battery holder from inside the
sensor case by lifting up. Insert two "C"
alkaline batteries (not included). Note the
positive and negative battery orientation.
The sensor will make a faint cricket sound
when activated.
3. If needed, lubricate the o-ring with a thin
coating of Vaseline. (Recommended every
time the batteries are changed.)
4. Close the case back together tightly. The
O-ring should provide a water resistant
seal.
Setting Up the
Driveway Monitor Receiver:
Plug the antenna into the red RCA jack on the
back of the receiver (the top jack). The an-
tenna should be vertical.
Plug the AC adapter into the power jack on
the back of the receiver (the bottom jack).
The receiver will beep and the alert light will
turn on red for 5 seconds - then come on
green.
Testing the System Prior to Installation
The sensor and receiver are factory set to a unique code. Before installing
the sensor outside, test the unit by rotating the driveway sensor (rotate the
sensor more than 5 feet away from the receiver). (If you listen carefully, you
will hear the sensor softly chirp like a cricket when the unit is transmitting a
signal.) The receiver will chime 2 times and theALERTlight will flash RED for
15 minutes.

If the receiver does not chime or the red ALERT light does not come on
during this test - refer to the Trouble Shooting section of the Reference
Guide.
