Self-Stick Door/Window Alarm
Your RadioShack Self-Stick Door/Window Alarm is a
convenient and easy-to-use security device. You
can easily install the alarm on almost any smooth
door surface or glass window. If the alarm senses an
abrupt shock or vibration, it sounds a 120-dB alarm
to warn you and scare off possible intruders.
Its features include:
Selectable Sensitivity Switch — lets you set the
alarm’s sensitivity higher or lower.
Red Warning Label — can be seen through window
to show that your home is protected.
Automatic Reset — automatically reset the alarm in
about 30 seconds after the alarm is activated.
Intruder Memory Indicator — warns you that the
alarm has been activated.
PREPARATION
Installing the Battery
The alarm requires a 9V battery for power (not sup-
plied, available at your local RadioShack store).
Caution: Use only a fresh battery of the required
size and recommended type.
Follow these steps to install the battery:
1. Use a Philips screwdriver to loosen the screw in
the battery compartment and slide off the cover.
2. Snap a 9V battery into the connector in the bat-
tery compartment and place the battery in the
compartment.
3. Replace the cover and secure it with the screw.
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 battery. Batteries can
leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
Note: When the green low battery indicator flashes,
replace the battery.
Installing the Alarm
Choose a smooth, clean mounting surface, then
peel off the protective film on the back of the alarm
and firmly press the alarm against the surface.
OPERATION
Warning: The alarm is very loud. Prolonged expo-
sure to the siren in an enclosed area may cause per-
manent hearing impairment or loss.
1. To turn on the alarm, slide the cover at the upper
front of the alarm upward, then turn
ON OFF
to
ON
. The red indicator flashes once.
2. Select the alarm’s sensitivity by sliding
HI/LOW
to
HI
or
LOW
. When the alarm senses an abrupt
shock or vibration, it sounds a 120-dB alarm for
about 30 seconds. The red indicator lights and
remains lit to warn you that the alarm has been
activated.
Notes:
• If the alarm is triggered again within two min-
utes of the first alarm and while the intruder
light is still on, the subsequent alarms may be
shorter than 30 seconds.
• To reset the intruder memory indicator, simply
turn alarm off, then on.
