Alarm System

Your Radio Shack Remote Control Alarm System is an example of superior
design and craftsmanship.  The following suggestions will help you care
for the system so you can enjoy it for years.

Keep the system dry.  If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.  Liquids
might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Handle the system gently and carefully.

Dropping it can damage the circuit boards and can cause the system to work
improperly.

Use only a fresh battery of the recommended size and type in each remote
transmitter.  Always remove an old or weak battery.  It can leak chemicals
that can destroy electronic circuits.

Modifying or tampering with the system's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate the system's warranty and void your FCC
authorization to operate it.  If your system is not performing as it
should, take it to your local Radio Shack store for assistance.

Your system might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating
properly.  To determine whether your system is causing the interference,
turn off your system.  If the interference goes away, your system is
causing the interference.  Try to eliminate the interference by:

  Moving your system away from the receiver

  Contacting your local Radio Shack store for help

If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your system.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

Each remote arm/disarm/valet transmitter uses a 12-volt battery for power.

We recommend an alkaline battery (such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-144).
Replace the battery if the indicator fails to light when you press either
ARM or DISARM, or if the range is reduced.

Follow these steps to replace the battery.

1.  Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw from the remote
    transmitter's back and lift off the top cover.

2.  Remove the old battery and discard it immediately.

Warning:  Never allow children to play with the battery.  SWALLOWING A
          BATTERY COULD BE FATAL.

3.  Insert the new battery.  Be sure the polarity symbols (+ and -) match
    the markings inside the battery compartment.

4.  Replace the remote transmitter's top cover and secure it using the
    screw.
