3.1 Selecting Operating Mode
The alarm has three modes: CHIME, OFF, and ALARM. Use the slide switch on the side of the unit to select your desired mode:
- CHIME Mode: When the door is vibrated or opened, the unit will sound a "DingDong" chime twice. The red light will blink for 30 seconds. After the chime stops, the light will blink for 30 seconds, then the unit will reset to resume protection.
- ALARM Mode: When the door is vibrated or opened, the unit will sound a loud 120dB alarm for 60 seconds. The red light will blink during this time. In Alarm mode, the reactivation time is 5 seconds.
- OFF Mode: The alarm is deactivated.
After selecting CHIME or ALARM mode, a red light will blink for approximately 30 seconds, indicating the unit is arming. Once the blinking stops, the alarm enters its working mode.
