Test the sensor signal strength

You can mount the Contact Sensor on a
door, window, drawer, cupboard, jewelry box,
or any object that opens or cl oses.

Before mounting the sensor, make sure you test
if the location you install the sensor is in range
from your telephone base.

Use adhesive tape to hold the sensor
temporarily in place.

Mount the sensor to a higher position to
avoid obstacles or blockages. Depending
on surroundings and obstructing factors,
like walls or cabinets, the sensor may not
transmit to the telephone base properly.

1. Take the sensor unit and magnet unit to
the desired mounting loc ation, and use
adhesive tape to hold them tem porarily in
place at the object and the f rame.

2. Enter the Check signal mode und er the
Sensor setup menu at your hand set to
test the sensor signal stren gth.

3. Open the door, window, drawer, cupboard,
or jewelry box again and check whether a
good signal is received at your telephone
base.

NOTES

I

f No signal or Weak signal message is
displayed in Check signal mode, mode, or if
you do not receive an aler t when you open the
door, move the telephone base c loser to the
mounting locatio n or move the sensor closer to
the telephone base.

Depending on surro undings and obstructing
factors, like walls or ca binets, the sensor may
not transmit to the bas e properly.

After testing the sensor si gnal strength, mark
the mounting location o n the door, window,
drawer, cupboard, or jewelry box and its
respective frame. Then, remove the adhe sive
tape and proceed to the mou nting process.

Mount with tape

1. Attach mounting tape C onto the
rectangular area at the rear side of the
magnet unit,

2. Stick the magnet unit onto the door.

Mount with tape

You can choose one out of the four spacers
with suitable height, a nd then add it to the
magnet unit.

1. Push the spacer towards the magnet unit
until it securely click s into place.

2. Attach mounting tape C onto the
rectangular area at the rear si de of the
spacer.

3. Stick the magnet unit onto the door.

Mount the sensor

We recommend you mount the magnet un it
on a door, window, drawer, cupboard, or
jewelry box, and mount the sens or unit on its
respective frame.

You can use the spacers provided if there is
a difference in level betwee n the door and
the frame. The spacer will help to al ign your
sensor to the correct heig ht. You can also
use a spacer if the frame is too narr ow or has
some decorative molding .

NOTES

You can mount the sensor unit wit h mounting
tape first, and then u se screws later if you
decide to mount it at th at location for long term.
Make sure the mounting s urface is clean. A
textured surface or any imp erfections to a
smooth surface can keep the mo unting tape
from making a strong bond.
Align the magnet unit w ith sensor unit when
mounting.
The distance bet ween the sensor unit and
magnet unit must be le ss than 1 cm (0.4 inch).
