Product Overview
Figure 1: The TECHKO S063 Portable Door Wedge Guard. This image shows the device from an angled perspective, highlighting the main body, the ON/OFF switch on the side, and the metal contact plate at the front. The alarm speaker is visible on the top surface.
- Alarm Speaker: Emits a loud 120 dB alarm.
- Metal Contact Plate: Detects pressure when a door attempts to open over it.
- ON/OFF Switch: Activates or deactivates the alarm system.
- Battery Compartment: Located on the underside (not visible in this view), holds one 9-volt battery.
Setup
1. Battery Installation
- Locate the battery compartment cover on the underside of the device.
- Slide or open the cover to access the compartment.
- Insert one standard 9-volt battery, ensuring correct polarity (+ and - terminals match).
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
2. Placement
- Place the door wedge guard firmly under the door you wish to secure.
- Ensure the metal contact plate is positioned to be depressed if the door is opened.
- The wedge design should prevent the door from opening while also providing a stable base for the alarm.
Operating Instructions
- Arming the Device: After placing the device under the door, slide the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position. The unit will arm after a 10-second delay. This delay allows you to exit the room without triggering the alarm.
- Alarm Activation: The alarm will sound instantly if:
- Significant vibration is detected (e.g., someone attempting to force the door open).
- The metal contact plate is depressed (e.g., the door pushes against the wedge).
- Disarming the Device: To stop the alarm, slide the ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position.
