3. Setup

3.1. Battery Installation

1. Central Unit: Open the battery compartment on the back of the central unit. Insert the 3 CR2 Lithium batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely.
2. Door/Window Sensor: Open the sensor casing and insert the required battery (refer to the sensor's specific markings for type and polarity).
3. Remote Controls: Remote controls typically come with pre-installed batteries or require small button-cell batteries. Check the remote for a battery tab to remove or a compartment to open.

3.2. SIM Card Installation (for GSM Functionality)

The central unit requires a 2G GSM SIM card (not included) to enable SMS and call alerts. Ensure the SIM card is active and has sufficient credit if it's a prepaid card.

1. Locate the SIM card slot on the central unit.
2. Insert the SIM card into the slot, ensuring it is correctly oriented.
3. Power on the central unit. The unit will attempt to register with the GSM network.

3.3. Component Placement

• Central Unit: Place the central unit in a central location within your protected area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure it has good GSM signal reception.
• Door/Window Sensor: Mount the magnetic contact on a door or window frame. Align the two parts (sensor and magnet) so they are no more than 1 cm apart when the door/window is closed.
• Presence Sensor (PIR): The central unit has an integrated PIR sensor. Position the unit to cover the desired detection area, typically a main hallway or room entrance. Avoid pointing it directly at heat sources or windows where sunlight or drafts might cause false alarms.

3.4. Pairing Remote Controls and Sensors

The remote controls and sensors are typically pre-paired with the central unit. If re-pairing is necessary or if adding new accessories, refer to the detailed pairing instructions in the full product manual (not provided here). Generally, this involves putting the central unit into a 'learning' mode and then activating the accessory.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Arming the System

To arm the alarm system, press the Arm button on your remote control. The central unit will emit a confirmation sound, and an indicator light may illuminate, signifying that the system is armed. All connected sensors are now active.

4.2. Disarming the System

To disarm the alarm system, press the Disarm button on your remote control. The central unit will emit a different confirmation sound, and the indicator light will turn off, indicating the system is disarmed.

4.3. Panic Button

In case of an emergency, press the Panic button (often depicted as a bell or lightning bolt) on your remote control. This will immediately trigger the siren and initiate GSM alerts (calls/SMS) to pre-programmed numbers, regardless of the system's armed status.

4.4. GSM Alert Functionality

When an alarm is triggered (e.g., by a motion sensor or door opening sensor), the central unit will:

• Activate the integrated siren.
• Send an SMS alert to pre-programmed phone numbers.
• Initiate a call to pre-programmed phone numbers.

To program alert numbers, refer to the detailed instructions in the full product manual. This typically involves sending specific SMS commands to the alarm unit's SIM card number from an authorized phone.

5. Maintenance

5.1. Battery Replacement

Regularly check the battery status of the central unit and all wireless sensors. Low battery indicators (audible alerts or flashing lights) will signal when batteries need replacement. Always replace with the specified battery type (e.g., CR2 for the central unit) and ensure correct polarity.

5.2. Cleaning

Clean the central unit and sensors periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the device's surface or internal components. Keep sensors free from dust and obstructions to ensure optimal performance.

5.3. System Testing

It is recommended to test the alarm system periodically (e.g., monthly) to ensure all components are functioning correctly. This includes testing sensors, remote controls, siren, and GSM alert functionality.
