Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Alarm triggers without apparent motion (false alarms). |
|
|
| Alarm does not detect motion effectively. |
|
|
| Alarm sounds continuously when batteries are low. | This is a design feature to alert users to critically low battery levels. | Replace the batteries immediately to stop the continuous alarm. It is recommended to replace batteries promptly upon hearing the 'tick-tock' low battery alert. |
| Remote control does not work. |
|
|
| Alarm unit falls from mounting location. | Unreliable adhesive or mounting method for the environment. | For mobile applications (e.g., caravans) or high-traffic areas, use screw mounting for enhanced stability. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and dry if using adhesive. |
