Personal Alarm with Motion Sensor

Your RadioShack Personal Alarm
sounds a 90 dB alarm when you press
a button or remove its h and strap. Or,
you can set it to detect motion and
place it where its alarm will alert you to
intruders or deter a thie f. It also has a
built-in flashlight.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

Your Personal Alarm requires three
AAA batteries for power. We recom­mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteri es of the re­quired size and recommended
type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries
or different types of batteries.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1. Gently press on the batte ry com­partment cover and slide it off in
the direction of the arrow.

2. Place three AAA batteries in the
compartment accordi ng to the po ­larity symbols (+ and –) marked in­side.

3. Replace the cover.

When the alarm's sou nd we akens or th e
light dims, replace all three batteries.

Warning:

Dispose of old batteries prop-

erly. Do not burn or bury them.

TRIGGERING THE ALARM

You can set the ala rm to sound when i t
detects motion, when you press a but­ton, or when you pull off the hand strap.

Using the Motion Sensor

Place the alarm on a flat, stable surface,
then slide the switch to

MOTION ALARM

.
The indicator lights for about 30 sec­onds, during which time you can reposi­tion the alarm. After the indicator turns
off, the alarm triggers if it is moved.

When the alarm is triggered, its light
flashes and a warning tone sounds for
about 20 seconds . Then the tone stops
and the alarm returns to standby mode.
Any further motion wil l trigger the alarm
again.

To silence the alarm or turn it off so it
does not sound, slid e the switch to the
middle or

black button near the han d strap on the
