ˆCare

To enjoy your RadioShack Two-Zone Burglar Alarm System for a long time:

•Keep the alarm dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.

•Use and store the alarm only in normal temperature environments.

•Handle the alarm gently and carefully. Do not drop it.

•Keep the alarm away from dust and dirt.

•Wipe the alarm with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.

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

REPLACING THE FUSE

If the alarm center does not operate, you might need to re- place the fuse with a 3-amp fast-blow fuse, available at your local RadioShack store.

Warning: Before you begin, unplug the AC adapter and dis- connect the backup battery.

Caution: Fuses can fail for many reasons, including short circuits, power surges, and improper installation. Check your installation for short circuits or improper installation and cor- rect any problems you find. Then, if the spare fuse fails after you install it, contact your local RadioShack store.

1.While using a flat-blade screwdriver to press the slot on the upper right side of the alarm center’s cover and your thumb to press the oval on the lower right side of the cover, pull the cover out to open it.

2.Pull the ribbon inside the cover. The fuse pops out.

3.If the fuse is blown, replace it.

Caution: Make sure you replace the fuse only with another fuse of the same type and rating.

4.Wrap the ribbon around the new fuse, then insert the fuse into the fuse holder.

5.Reconnect the battery.

6.Close the alarm center’s cover.

7.Reconnect the AC adapter.

RESETTING THE AC ADAPTER’S CIRCUIT BREAKER

The AC adapter has a circuit breaker to protect itself from an overload. If an overload occurs, RESET pops out, the AC adapter stops supplying power, and AC POWER on the alarm center turns off.

Warning: Before you reset the circuit breaker, unplug the AC adapter and disconnect the backup battery.

Caution: Circuit breakers can trip for many reasons, includ- ing short circuits, power surges, and improper installation. Check your installation for a short circuit or improper installa- tion and correct any problems you find. Then reconnect the battery and AC adapter and try to reset the AC adapter’s cir- cuit breaker. If the circuit breaker fails to reset, contact your local RadioShack store.

To reset the circuit breaker, press RESET back into the AC adapter until it stops.

The system also includes passive infrared motion sensors that can identify movement within a designated area, adding an additional layer of security against intruders.

In terms of technologies, the Radio Shack Two-Zone Burglar Alarm System utilizes a microprocessor-controlled control panel, which is at the heart of the system's operations. This logic board processes signals from all connected sensors and determines when to trigger the alarm. The system can provide alerts via a loud siren, while also allowing for notifications to be sent to the owner’s smartphone or other devices, depending on the model.

The installation process for the Radio Shack burglar alarm system is user-friendly, designed for ease even for those who may not be technically savvy. The system typically includes clear instructions and mounting hardware, making setup straightforward. Users can customize their alarm system according to their specific needs and property layout, which further enhances usability.
