Modes of Operation
The NineLeaf alarm offers three distinct operational modes:
1. Alarm Mode
When the system is armed, if a door or window protected by the alarm is opened by approximately 4 cm (1.57 inches), the alarm will sound for 30 seconds.
2. Doorbell Mode
In doorbell mode, when the protected door or window is opened, the unit will play a "Ding-Dong" sound instead of an alarm. Press and hold the bell button on the remote to cycle through 4 different doorbell tones.
3. Emergency Function
In any operational mode (armed, disarmed, or doorbell), pressing the emergency button on the remote control will immediately trigger a 30-second alarm sound.

Specific instructions for adjusting alarm tones and volume levels are typically found by pressing the multi-function button on the main unit or through the remote control.

Troubleshooting
