1. What is RealGuard?

The RealGuard Personal Security System is a wireless personal security alarm system
designed for real estate professionals. As a real estate agent, you can use the RealGuard
system to give you a new level of personal safety during your regular course of business of
showing properties to prospective buyers.

RealGuard includes three alarm units, which communicate with each other through remote,
wireless transmitters and receivers:

• A Personal Unit, which you keep with you to use in case of an emergency.

• An Auto Unit, which is installed on your automobile.

• A Home Unit, which is installed in the home you are showing.

You can purchase additional Personal Units and Home Units to expand your existing system.

Personal Unit

The Personal Unit is the source of the alarm signal. You can
carry it in your hand, keep it in your pocket or handbag, or
attach it to your belt. In an emergency, you press the panic
button and the unit sounds an ear-piercing siren. It also
transmits an emergency signal to the Auto Unit, which sends
the signal on to the Home Unit. All three units sound an
audible alarm.

To turn off the siren, you press a sequence of four buttons. During setup, you select the
sequence you want to use.

The Personal Unit contains a flashlight, which can be useful in the dark for opening doors
and lockboxes, and seeing your way around areas of homes and properties that are not
adequately lit.

Warning: Make sure you keep the unit away from your ears when you press the panic
button. The alarm is very loud.

Auto Unit

The Auto Unit is installed in your automobile; it is the control
unit for each RealGuard system. A unique coded signal set up for
your system ensures that only your Personal Unit can activate
your Auto Unit. When you press the panic button on the Personal
Unit, it sends a signal to the Auto Unit, which sounds a horn
installed under the hood. The Auto Unit passes the signal on to
the Home Unit, which also emits a sound.

The manufacturer recommends that you have a profession install
the Auto Unit. To find the names of authorized installation firms,
contact Misiu Systems Customer Service or refer to Misiu Systems web site.

Installation includes:

• Mounting an external 5-Watt horn in the engine compartment of your vehicle.

• Mounting the Auto Unit behind the dashboard on the driver’s side of the car with the help

of the included mounting bracket.

The Auto Unit also is set up to operate with auxiliary devices, such as the optional RealGuard
Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) device for reporting address information to local law
enforcement agencies.

Home Unit

The Home Unit is plugged into an electrical outlet in the listed
home, before the home is shown to potential buyers. While each
Personal Unit must be accompanied by its own Auto Unit, the
alarm on the Home Unit operates for any agent who is using a
RealGuard system.

The Home Unit can also be installed in brokerage offices or any
other location to be secured by RealGuard Personal Security
Alarms. It can be placed in an inconspicuous location on the
property, such as behind a curtain, couch, or chair.

You can manually switch the Home Unit to receive its activation signal directly from a
Personal Unit, in case you do not have your vehicle on the premises or the Auto Unit has not
yet been installed.
