3. Configurazione e installazione

3.1 Installazione della batteria

1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the main alarm unit.
2. Carefully slide or pry open the cover. Some users may find a thumbnail or small tool helpful to budge the cover.
3. Insert two AAA batteries into the compartment, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Batteries are typically included with the product.
4. Riposizionare saldamente il coperchio del vano batteria.

3.2 Montaggio dell'allarme

The alarm uses a self-adhesive method for installation. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and smooth for optimal adhesion.

1. Identify the desired location for the alarm on your refrigerator, freezer, window, or door frame. The main unit and the magnetic strip must be mounted adjacent to each other.
2. Peel off the protective backing from the adhesive tape on both the main alarm unit and the magnetic strip.
3. Attach the main unit to one part of the door/frame and the magnetic strip to the other, ensuring they are aligned. There are usually triangle markers on both parts that should be aligned.
4. Crucially, the gap between the main unit and the magnetic strip must be less than 2.5 cm (0.98 inches) when the door is closed. A larger gap will prevent the alarm from functioning correctly.
5. Press firmly for several seconds to ensure secure adhesion.

On the side of the main alarm unit, locate the slide switch. This switch controls the alarm's power and sound mode:

4.3 Delay Time Setting (Work Mode)

• Mode 1 (1 Minute Delay): Alert sounds after 60 seconds. Beeps every 15 seconds until the door closes. Ideal for refrigerators or basement doors.
• Mode 2 (2 Minute Delay): Alert sounds after 2 minutes. Beeps every 10 seconds until the door closes. Suitable for garages or shed doors.
• Mode 3 (3 Minute Delay): Alert sounds after 3 minutes. Beeps every 5 seconds until the door closes. Useful for windows or cabinet doors.
• Mode 4 (4 Minute Delay): Alert sounds after 4 minutes. Beeps every 20 seconds until the door closes. Appropriate for office or shop doors.
