Setup Guide
1. Battery Installation
The alarms come with batteries pre-installed. Before use, ensure the alarm is in the 'OFF' position to prevent accidental activation. Remove the battery insulating tab from the main alarm unit.
2. Surface Preparation
Clean the installation area thoroughly to ensure optimal adhesion of the self-adhesive pads. The surface should be dry and free of dust or grease.

3. Mounting the Alarm Units
- Peel off the protective film from the 3M adhesive pads on the back of both the main alarm unit and the magnetic sensor.
- Attach the main alarm unit to the door or window frame.
- Align and attach the magnetic sensor to the door or window itself, ensuring it is within 0.78 inches (approximately 2 cm) of the main unit when the door/window is closed. The arrow on the main unit should point towards the magnetic sensor.
- Press firmly for a few seconds to secure both parts.

Important Note:
- The alarm will only function correctly if the main unit and magnetic sensor are within the specified distance when the door/window is closed.
- Ensure the installation area is clean and the sensor is installed within 0.5 inches from the arrow side of the alarm.
Operating Instructions
1. Powering On/Off
Locate the ON/OFF switch on the side of the main alarm unit. Slide the switch to the 'ON' position to activate the alarm, and to 'OFF' to deactivate it.
2. Mode Selection (Alarm/Chime)
The alarm unit features a 2-in-1 function. Use the mode switch to select between:
- Alarm Mode: Produces a loud, continuous siren when triggered. Ideal for security.
- Chime Mode: Produces a short, pleasant sound (like a doorbell) when triggered. Useful for monitoring entry/exit without a full alarm.
3. Volume Control
Adjust the volume using the 3-level volume switch on the side of the main unit. Select the desired loudness based on your environment and needs.

When the main alarm unit and the magnetic sensor are separated (e.g., a door or window is opened), the alarm or chime will activate based on the selected mode. The LED light on the main unit will also illuminate.

Maintenance
1. Battery Replacement
If the alarm's sound becomes weak or it stops functioning, the batteries may need replacement. To replace batteries:

- Unscrew the small screw on the back of the main unit to access the battery compartment.
- Replace the old LR44 batteries with new ones, ensuring correct polarity.
- Secure the battery compartment cover and slide the unit back onto its mounting plate.
2. Cleaning
Wipe the alarm units periodically with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
3. Adhesion Check
Periodically check the adhesion of both units to ensure they are securely attached to the surface. Reapply new adhesive pads if necessary.
