Note: Each Sensor comes with a battery installed. Since the internal battery is only
used when the Magnetic Strip is moved away (sensor tripped), it should last two
years. The batteries of the Remote Controls should also last two years.
3. Select the six Sensor locations. They should be placed in the most likely point
of entry , (i.e ., doors or windows), or exit points, if used to protect entry to
areas such as to swimming pools.
4. Select an area on the movable part of the door or window where the Sensor
can be mounted flat. The Magnetic Strip must be mounted parallel to, and no
more than 1/4 inch from, the Sensor. The Sensor and Magnetic Strip may be
mounted upside down to accommodate door or window configuration.
