Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to set up and install your Wuloo Solar Wireless Driveway Alarm System.
1. Charging the Sensors and Doorbell
The solar sensors and doorbell unit contain rechargeable batteries. Before initial use, ensure they are adequately charged. The solar panel on the sensors will charge them during daylight hours. For the doorbell, it is recommended to fully charge it via the provided cable before installation, as it may only have approximately 20% charge upon delivery.

2. Connecting the Receiver to Power
The receiver can be powered by connecting it to an AC power outlet using the provided adapter. Alternatively, it can operate with the installation of 3 AA batteries (not included) for backup or portable use. Ensure batteries are removed if the unit is plugged into AC power to prevent damage.
3. Pairing and Channel Setting
The system components are typically pre-paired. If re-pairing is necessary or if adding new units, refer to the detailed manual for specific pairing instructions. Each sensor and doorbell can be assigned a unique channel (0-8) to allow the receiver to play different chimes for each unit.

4. Sensor and Doorbell Placement
Install the wireless outdoor motion sensors and doorbell button in desired locations. Sensors should be placed where they can detect movement within a 30-foot detection zone, such as driveways, pathways, or entry points. The system is weatherproof and functions effectively in various conditions.

Operating Instructions
Receiver Functions
The multifunctional receiver offers several features:
- Chimes and Tones: Select from 36 available chimes and tones.
- Volume Control: Adjust the volume with 8 levels.
- Mute Mode: Silence the receiver by pressing the MUTE button. Press and hold to enter mute mode.
- Clock and Alarm: The receiver functions as a clock and can be set as an alarm.
- Pairing: Use the PAIR button to set chimes for different channels or enter pairing mode.
- Menu Navigation: Use UP/DOWN buttons to navigate menus and adjust settings. Press and hold MENU for 3 seconds to open/close the receiver.

Adjusting Sensor Sensitivity
The motion sensors have 4 sensitivity levels: Hi, Mid 1, Mid 2, and Low. Higher sensitivity allows the sensor to detect smaller movements or objects at greater distances. Adjust the sensitivity based on your environment to minimize false alarms from small animals or distant objects.
- Low: 0-15 feet detection range.
- Mid 2: 0-20 feet detection range.
- Mid 1: 0-26 feet detection range.
- Hi (Highest Sensitivity): 0-33 feet detection range.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Wuloo Driveway Alarm System.
- Battery Life: The solar sensors can operate for up to 24 months after being fully charged. The doorbell unit can work for 2-6 months after a full charge. Monitor the low power indicator on the doorbell (flash red) and ensure sensors receive adequate sunlight for continuous charging.
- Weather Resistance: The sensors and doorbell are designed to be weatherproof. However, regularly inspect them for any debris or obstructions that might affect their performance, especially after severe weather conditions.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior of all components. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Wuloo Driveway Alarm System, consider the following common solutions:
- No Alert from Sensor/Doorbell:
- Ensure the sensor/doorbell battery is charged.
- Verify the receiver is powered on and not in mute mode.
- Check if the sensor/doorbell is properly paired with the receiver.
- Confirm the sensor is placed within the effective detection range (up to 1800 feet from receiver).
- Adjust sensor sensitivity if small objects are not being detected.
- False Alarms:
- Lower the sensor sensitivity level.
- Adjust the sensor's angle or placement to avoid detecting unwanted movement (e.g., swaying branches, small animals).
- Short Detection Range:
- Ensure there are no significant obstructions (thick walls, large metal objects) between the sensor/doorbell and the receiver.
- Relocate components to improve line of sight.
- Check battery levels of all units.
- Receiver Not Responding:
- Verify the power connection or check the AA batteries if used.
- Try resetting the receiver by unplugging it for a few seconds.
