Setup
Follow these steps to set up your Retoo Wireless Motion Sensor Alarm System:
- Power Supply Installation:
- Battery Power: Open the battery compartment on the back of the unit. Insert 3 AA (R6) batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely.
- Adapter Power: Connect a compatible 4.5V power adapter (not included) to the DC 4.5V input port on the side of the unit. Plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet.
- Placement and Mounting:
Choose a location where the sensor's infrared beam can cover the desired detection area without obstructions. The sensor has a maximum range of 6 meters.

- Selecting an Operating Mode:
Locate the switch on the side of the unit. Slide the switch to one of the following positions:
- OFF: The unit is powered off and will not detect motion or emit any sound.
- ALARM: When motion is detected, the unit will emit a loud alarm siren. This mode is suitable for security applications.
- MUSIC: When motion is detected, the unit will play one of 30 selectable melodies. This mode is ideal for signaling customer entry in a store or announcing arrivals.
- Motion Detection:
Once powered on and in either ALARM or MUSIC mode, the integrated infrared sensor continuously scans the designated area. When an object or person moves within the 5-6 meter detection zone, the sensor triggers the selected alert.

- Melody Selection (MUSIC mode only):
In MUSIC mode, the unit cycles through 30 different melodies. The specific method to select a desired melody is not detailed in the product information, but typically involves a button press or cycling through options upon detection. Refer to the 'Choice' button indicated in the dimensions image for potential melody selection functionality.

Maintenance
- Battery Replacement: When the unit's performance degrades (e.g., weaker sound, inconsistent detection), replace the 3 AA batteries. Always use fresh batteries and dispose of old ones responsibly.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic housing or internal components. Ensure the infrared sensor lens remains clean and free of dust for optimal performance.
- Environmental Considerations: Avoid placing the sensor in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in areas with extreme temperature fluctuations, as this can affect its performance and lifespan.
