5 MOUNTING THE TRANSMITTER Before mounting the Transmitter, we recommend that you test first to ensure unit is properly working. Test the unit by pushing the slide switch to "Test" position, the alarm buzzer should sound. TRANSMITTER SWITCH To mount the bracket (Holder) of the Transmitter, drill two holes in the desired location, then insert screws into the upper mounting holes, letting the screw's head extend about 3mm ( 1/8" ) from the surface, then place the mounting bracket into the screw and also tighten the upper and lower screw. TRANSMITTER MOUNTING BRACKET 84 mm (3-5/16 inch) LOW BATTERY SIGNAL The Transmitter will monitor the capacity of the Battery. If the battery is low, the Transmitter's alarm will beep intermittently. Replace the battery and Test unit. (The expected life of a 9 Volt Battery in the Transmitter is up to 1 year). Since the Receiver may not pick up a low battery signal from the transmitter, we recommend that you check your Transmitter a couple of times a year. 4

6 RECEIVER (WWA-RX) INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: The Receiver is not water resistant. Do not expose to water. INSTALL THE BATTERY To install the battery of the receiver, slide to open the battery door and attach one 9 Volt Battery. Replace the battery door and turn unit on. Slide to open the battery door Insert the 9V battery Since the battery life in the receiver is only a couple of weeks while monitoring, it is strongly recommended that you use the AC Adapter and battery back up. Plug the AC adapter jack into the Receiver 5

7 WWA-RX RECEIVER INSTALLATION (cont.) Place the receiver in a convenient area where you would hear it (up to 50 feet away from Transmitter, but make sure that it is located within the effective range). TURN ON THE POWER Plug the AC adapter jack into the Receiver, then plug into an outlet. To turn on the Receiver slide the switch to "On" position (located on the side of the Receiver). TEST THE RECEIVER To test the alarm of the Receiver, slide the Receiver switch to "Test" position, the alarm will sound. RESET THE RECEIVER When the Receiver alarm sounds, you need to reset the Receiver to stop the alarm, by sliding the receiver switch to "Reset" position, and then back to "On" position. NOTE: BE SURE TO TURN UNIT BACK TO "ON" FOR CONTINUED OPERATION. Install the Receiver in any convenient area where you would hear it Receiver Switch 6

8 MOUNTING THE RECEIVER NOTE: BEFORE MOUNTING YOUR RECEIVER, TEST YOUR RANGE. Place the Transmitter with remote Sensor in the area needed and place Receiver in desired location (up to 50 feet away). Turn ON Receiver. Switch Transmitter to TEST mode. If the units are within range, the Receiver will also sound. You can now mount your Receiver. To start operation: Switch Transmitter to "ON" then Reset and Switch ON the Receiver (see page 6). WALL MOUNTING: To mount the mounting bracket (Holder) of the Receiver, drill two holes in the desired location, ensure hole centers align vertically, insert screws into the mounting holes, letting the screw's head extend about 3mm ( 1/8" ) from the surface, then place the Receiver mounting bracket (holder) and tighten the two screws. Place the Receiver into the mounting bracket, the mounting bracket will self-lock the Receiver.

9 SECURITY CODE SETTING SECURITY CODE SETTING The interface between the sensing unit and the receiver has a security code to avoid false triggering by the device which is using the similar frequency. Both transmitter unit and the receiver are equipped with a 3 position DIP switch. Eight combinations can be chosen. In case of a false trigger, open the unit and change the code setting on both units. The DIP switch setting on both units must always be the same. Setting Switch-1 Switch-2 Switch-3 1 off off off 2 off off on 3 off on off 4 on off off 5 on on off 6 on off on 7 off on on 8 on on on Switch-1 Switch-2 Switch-3 Security Code Setting for Transmitter Security Code Setting for Receiver 8
