Before you begin to install your Security System, analyze the premises to
determine your security needs. If your premises has two entrances, you
may want to put a Door/Window Sensor on each door. You may choose
your main door and a window that is hidden by some bushes and is not
visable from the street. If you are securing a small business, you may
choose the front door and the warehouse door as locations for your sensors.
(If your security plan requires additional Door/Window Sensors, or some
Motion Sensors, see Additional Accessories at the end of the manual.

Motion Sensors (optional) monitor an area and if there is any movement in
that area, the Motion Sensor will send a signal to the Audio Alarm and the
alarm will sound.

Sketch a map of the premises and determine which doors and windows need
sensors and whether you require Motion Sensors.

PLANNING YOUR HOME SECURITY NEEDS

The Audio Alarm is water resistant so it can be installed indoors or outdoors
within access to an electrical outlet. We recommend that you install the
Audio Alarm close to the front door so you can hear when the unit is activated/
deactivated.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

The SC-10 Security System comes with five batteries that may have to be
replaced at some point:

One 9 volt alkaline battery for the Audio Alarm

Two 12 volt alkaline batteries for the Door/Window Sensors

Two 12 volt alkaline batteries for the Keychain Transmitters

Recommendation: test your system periodically to ensure that all batteries
are working.

AUDIO ALARM BATTERY

The Audio Alarm comes equipped with a back up battery in case the electrical
power is interrupted for any reason.

When the Audio Alarm battery is low, the “LO BATT” lights goes on.

To replace the Audio Alarm backup battery:

1. Take the Audio Alarm off the wall

2. Turn off the unit and remove the AC
adapter

3. Remove the six screws then take off
the back cover

4. Disconnect old battery

5. Connect new battery

6. Replace the back cover and install
the six screws

The battery life, (9 volt alkaline battery), is approximately two years if only
used for backup.
