• Two-Way Intercom (G4N Host): The G4N host panel includes an SOS help button and supports two-way intercom functionality once an alarm is connected.
• Anti-Disassembly: The alarm box has a hidden anti-disassembly device. If malicious damage or unauthorized removal is detected, it will immediately alarm and send a notification.

5. Maintenance

• Battery Replacement:
  • PIR Motion Detector (HW-06A): Replace 2 x 1.5V AA Alkaline batteries when a low power alert is received.
  • Door/Window Sensor (MC-06A): Replace the 3V CR2450 lithium battery when a low power alert is received.
  • Remote Controller (YK-11): Replace 2 x 3V CR2016 Li-ion batteries as needed.
• Power Outage: The alarm box has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery that provides up to 8 hours of operation during temporary power failures. Ensure the main power is restored promptly.
• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the alarm box and sensors. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check the TUYA Smartlife app for any available firmware updates for your alarm system to ensure optimal performance and security.

6. Troubleshooting

• System Not Powering On: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected and the power outlet is functional. Check the ON/OFF switch on the alarm box.
• No Network Connection (GSM/4G): Verify the SIM card is correctly inserted and has an active plan. Check for network coverage in your area.
• No Network Connection (WiFi): Ensure your WiFi router is on and the alarm box is within range. Re-attempt WiFi pairing through the TUYA Smartlife app.
• Sensors Not Triggering Alarm: Check sensor battery levels. Ensure sensors are correctly paired with the alarm box. Verify the system is armed.
• App Not Receiving Alerts: Check your phone's notification settings for the TUYA Smartlife app. Ensure the alarm box has a stable internet connection (WiFi or cellular).
• False Alarms: Ensure PIR motion detectors are not placed near heat sources, direct sunlight, or areas with drafts that could cause false triggers. Check door/window sensors for proper alignment.

8. User Tips

• Regular Battery Checks: Although sensors provide low-power alerts, it's good practice to periodically check battery levels, especially for critical sensors.
• Optimal Sensor Placement: For PIR sensors, avoid placing them directly facing windows or heat sources to prevent false alarms. For door/window sensors, ensure the two parts are securely mounted and aligned for reliable detection.
• Test Your System: After installation or any changes, perform a full system test to ensure all sensors are communicating correctly and the alarm functions as expected.
• App Notifications: Ensure the TUYA Smartlife app has necessary permissions on your smartphone to send notifications, so you don't miss any alerts.
