Powering the Indoor Alert Unit

1. Plug AC adapter jack into indoor alert unit.

2. Plug AC adapter into standard outlet.

3. Power indicator (RED) will turn on and unit will beep.

SYSTEM OPERATION

Each time the outdoor sensor detects a vehicle, the indoor alert
unit will beep and the visitor indicator (GREEN) will turn on. Press
the RESET button to return the unit to standby mode. The visitor
indicator will remain off until the sensor detects a new vehicle.

Use the knob on the side of the indoor alert unit to adjust the
volume to the desired setting.

The low battery indicator (RED) will turn on when the sensor

batteries need to be replaced. Refer to the

Installing Batteries

in Sensor

for detailed instructions on howto replace the batteries.

TROUBLESHOOTING

False Alerts

False alert may be caused by vehicles driving by on the street
Make sure the sensor is installed at least25ft from the street

The sensor may trigger a false alert on extremely windy days,

since the internal sensing coil will vibrate within a static magnetic
field. If the coil is stationary, a changing magnetic field triggers it
If the magnetic field is static, the coil triggers if it itself vibrates.

Failure to Alert

The sensorwill not trigger if it is placed too far from the driveway.
The detection radius needs to extend over the driveway.

Some compact vehicles are made of fiberglass (not metal). The
less metal in the vehicle, the harder it is for the sensor to trigger.

Check the outdoor sensor battery status often. If the low battery

indicator on the indoor alert unit turns on, make sure to replace the
batteries on the sensor as quickly as possible.

Make sure the sensor and indoor alert unit are as close to each other
as possible. The wireless range may be affected by heavy obstructions
or interference.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

To clean the Driveway Monitor, use a soft cloth slightly dampened with

water, then wipe dry. Do not use chemical agents as this may damage

and discolor the Driveway Monitor.
