Setup Instructions
The sensors and receivers are pre-paired at the factory for your convenience. Follow these steps for installation and initial setup:
1. Install the Receivers:
- Plug each receiver into a standard electrical outlet in your desired location. Ensure the outlet is within the 800ft operating range of your sensors.

2. Mount the Sensors:
- Identify the desired location for each sensor (e.g., door, window, drawer, cabinet).
- Clean the surface thoroughly where the sensor will be mounted.
- Peel off the protective film from the double-sided adhesive tape on the back of both the main sensor unit and the magnetic strip.
- Attach the main sensor unit to the fixed frame of the door/window and the magnetic strip to the moving part (door/window itself).
- Ensure the main sensor unit and the magnetic strip are aligned and placed within 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) of each other when the door/window is closed. The red indicator light on the sensor should face the magnetic strip.

3. Pairing Additional Sensors or Changing Chimes (if needed):
If you need to pair new sensors or change the chime for a specific sensor, follow these steps:
- Select Melody: Press the "Forward" or "Backward" button on the receiver to cycle through the 20 available melodies until you find your preferred one.
- Enter Pairing Mode: Long press the Volume Control button on the receiver for 5-7 seconds until the LED blinks rapidly and you hear a "ding" sound. The receiver is now in pairing mode.
- Activate Sensor: Quickly separate the two parts of the door sensor (main unit and magnetic strip) to activate the transmitter and send a signal to the receiver.
- Confirmation: Upon successful pairing, the receiver will sound the selected melody, indicating that the sensor is now linked.

Operating Instructions
1. Adjusting Volume:
The receiver has dedicated volume buttons (usually indicated by '+' and '-' symbols or similar icons on the side). Press these buttons to cycle through the 5 available volume levels, including a mute option (0 dB) up to 110 dB.
2. Changing Ringtones:
Use the "Forward" and "Backward" buttons on the receiver to select from the 20 different melodies. Each press will advance or go back one melody.
3. Receiving Alerts:
When a paired door/window sensor detects an opening (i.e., the main unit and magnetic strip separate), it will send a signal to the receiver. The receiver will then play the selected chime and its LED indicator will flash, providing both audible and visual alerts.
Maintenance
1. Sensor Battery Replacement:
The door sensors are powered by a CR2450 lithium battery. When the sensor's performance degrades or it stops transmitting signals, the battery may need replacement.
- Carefully open the sensor casing using a small screwdriver.
- Remove the old CR2450 battery.
- Insert a new CR2450 battery, ensuring correct polarity.
- Close the sensor casing securely.

2. Cleaning:
Wipe the receivers and sensors with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the product's finish or internal components.
Troubleshooting
- No Alert from Receiver:
- Ensure the receiver is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet.
- Check if the receiver's volume is set to an audible level (not mute).
- Verify that the sensor's battery is not depleted. Replace if necessary (CR2450).
- Confirm the sensor and receiver are within the effective operating range (up to 800ft). Obstacles like thick walls or metal structures can reduce range.
- Re-pair the sensor with the receiver following the "Pairing Additional Sensors" steps.
- Sensor Not Triggering:
- Ensure the main sensor unit and magnetic strip are installed correctly and are less than 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) apart when the door/window is closed.
- Check the sensor battery.
- Test the sensor by manually separating the two parts to see if the red indicator light flashes.
- False Alarms:
- Ensure the sensor components are securely mounted and do not shift.
- Verify the gap between the sensor and magnetic strip is appropriate when closed.
