MAKING A PET ZONE

If you have a pet, you can help reduce
the chance the pet will cause a false
alarm by blocking the motion detec-
tor’s lower zones with the supplied
tape.

To use the tape, place it over the lower
zones of the detector’s lens.

TESTING THE MOTION
DETECTOR

The motion detector includes a special
test mode. Follow these steps to test
the motion detector.

1. Set the sensitivity switch to

1

.

2. Hold down

TEST

on the back of

the motion detector until the indi-
cator flashes twice.

3. Release

TEST

and wait about 20

seconds.

4. Walk past the motion detector.

The indicator lights as you move
and turns off if you keep still or
walk out of the detector’s range.

Notes:

• If the range is low (less than 30

feet), check that the detector is
horizontal and at least 5 feet from
the ground.

• The motion detector automati-

cally switches to normal operation
after 2 minutes in the test mode.
To switch it back sooner, hold

TEST

down until the indicator

flashes twice (about 3 seconds).

To test the alarm with the motion de-
tector, arm the console and wait about
45 seconds. Then walk in front of the
motion detector and check that the
alarm is triggered. After the motion de-
tector triggers the alarm, it automati-
cally

locks out for 45 seconds to save

battery power.
