4.2. Sensor Mounting

Mount the sensor in your desired outdoor location, such as a driveway, walking path, or front door area. The sensor should be positioned to detect heat movements (e.g., people, large animals, vehicles).

1. Choose a mounting location that provides a clear line of sight to the detection area and is protected from direct sunlight if possible.
2. Use the provided screws and anchors to securely attach the rotatable mounting base to a wall or post.
3. Attach the motion sensor to the mounting base.
4. Adjust the sensor's angle using the rotatable ball-and-socket joint to cover the desired detection zone. The detection angle is 60° horizontally and 30° vertically.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Pairing Sensor and Receiver

If the sensor and receiver are not already paired, or if you wish to pair additional sensors/receivers:

1. Plug the receiver into a power socket.
2. On the receiver, long-press the 'Volume' button for 5-7 seconds until you hear a 'Ding' sound, indicating it has entered pairing mode. The LED indicator will flash.
3. Within 5 seconds of entering pairing mode, wave your hand in front of the motion sensor to trigger it. The sensor will send a signal to the receiver.
4. The receiver will play the selected chime, confirming successful pairing.

5.2. Adjusting Sensitivity

The motion sensor has a 3-level adjustable sensitivity switch located inside the battery compartment. This allows you to set the detection range to prevent false alarms in different environments.

• 10ft (3.4m): Low sensitivity, suitable for narrow entrances or to avoid detecting small animals.
• 20ft (5.8m): Medium sensitivity, standard detection range.
• 30ft (9.1m): High sensitivity, for wider areas.

To adjust, open the sensor's back cover and slide the sensitivity switch to your desired setting (Left for 10ft, Mid for 20ft, Right for 30ft).

5.3. Changing Chimes and Volume

The receiver features 'Up' and 'Down' buttons for selecting chimes and a 'Volume' button for adjusting sound levels.

• Chime Selection: Press the 'Up' or 'Down' button on the receiver to cycle through the 58 available melodies.
• Volume Adjustment: Press the 'Volume' button repeatedly to cycle through 5 volume levels (0-110 dB).

5.4. Mute Mode

To activate mute mode, cycle through the volume levels until the sound is off (0 dB). In this mode, the receiver's LED will still flash when triggered, providing a visual alert without sound.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the sensor and receiver with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Battery Replacement: Replace the 4 AA batteries in the motion sensor when the performance degrades or if the sensor stops transmitting. Always use fresh batteries of the same type.
• Environmental Considerations: While the sensor is weatherproof, avoid placing it in locations where it is constantly submerged in water or exposed to extreme physical impact.
