4. Installation Guide
The Gaoducash WiFi Door Window Sensor Alarm is designed for easy, DIY installation without the need for wiring or screws. Follow these steps for proper setup:
- Insert Batteries: Open the main sensor unit and insert the two AAA batteries provided. Ensure correct polarity.
- Prepare Adhesive: Tear off the release paper from the back of the adhesive stickers. Apply one sticker to the back of the main sensor unit and another to the back of the smaller magnetic contact piece.
