Mounting Instructions

The GE Personal Security Window and Door Alarm is designed for easy, wireless installation using the included double-sided tape. For optimal performance, install the alarm indoors.

1. Choose Location: Select a clean, dry surface on a window or door frame where the alarm unit and its magnetic sensor can be mounted side-by-side. Ensure the two parts are aligned and will separate when the window or door is opened. The alarm will trigger if the magnet separates from the base by more than 0.5 inches.
2. Clean Surface: Wipe the mounting area with a clean cloth to remove dust or debris.
3. Apply Tape: Peel the backing from the double-sided tape and apply it to the back of both the main alarm unit and the smaller magnetic sensor.
4. Mount Units: Press the main alarm unit firmly onto the chosen surface. Then, mount the magnetic sensor directly adjacent to the main unit, ensuring the alignment marks on both pieces are facing each other and are within 0.5 inches when the door/window is closed.

Operating the Alarm

The GE Personal Security Window and Door Alarm features a simple switch to select its operating mode.

This image shows a detailed view of the alarm's side switch, clearly indicating the "Alarm," "Chime," and "Off" settings for user selection.

• OFF: In this position, the alarm is deactivated and will not sound when the door or window is opened.
• CHIME: When set to CHIME, the alarm will emit a gentle chime sound each time the protected door or window is opened. This mode is suitable for alerting occupants to entry or exit without a loud alarm.
• ALARM: In the ALARM position, the unit will sound a loud, 120-decibel alarm when the protected door or window is opened. This mode is intended for security purposes to deter intruders. The alarm will continue to sound until the door/window is closed, or the switch is moved to the OFF position.

The alarm is triggered when the main unit and its magnetic sensor are separated, indicating that the protected entry point has been opened.
