4. Operating Instructions

Once the Gigaset Window Sensor is successfully installed and paired with your Gigaset base station, it will begin monitoring your window's status.

• Detection: The sensor continuously monitors the window it is attached to. It is capable of distinguishing between a window that is fully opened and one that is tilted.
• Notifications: Upon detecting a change in the window's status (opened or tilted), the sensor sends a signal to your Gigaset base station. The base station then transmits this information to your smartphone via the Gigaset Smart Home app, sending an immediate push notification.
• App Integration: Through the Gigaset Smart Home app, you can view the current status of all your connected window sensors, customize notification settings, and integrate the sensor into various security scenarios or routines within your smart home system.

5. Maintenance

The Gigaset Window Sensor is designed for low maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal performance:

• Battery Replacement: The sensor is powered by a CR123A lithium battery. The Gigaset Smart Home app will notify you when the battery level is low. To replace the battery, carefully open the sensor casing, remove the old battery, and insert a new CR123A (3 Volt) battery, observing the correct polarity.
• Cleaning: To clean the sensor, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the device.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check the Gigaset Smart Home app for any available firmware updates for your sensor. Keeping the firmware updated ensures the best performance and security.
