•Does not directly face a window, heating or air conditioning vent, appliance, outside wall, or other heat source.
These sources could produce rapid temperature changes that the sys- tem might incorrectly identify as an intruder.
•Is high enough not to be triggered by pets, yet is low enough to be triggered by someone of average height walking across the area.
To help prevent false alarms caused by pets, the system senses motion at or above its mounted location. It does not sense motion below where you mount it. In most installations, a location about 31/2 feet off the floor provides the best security.

TESTING THE LOCATION
Once you select a location and before you mount it, follow these steps to test the system’s coverage.
Note: To test the location, you do not need to connect the system to the phone line, install a backup battery, or set up service.
1.Plug the power adapter’s barrel plug into the jack on the back of the system as shown on Page 10.
2.Plug the power adapter into an AC outlet as shown on Page 10.
Notes:
•If you have not installed a backup battery, the POWER indicator flashes.
•If you have not connected the system to the phone line, the system chirps once per second.
3.Place the system at the selected location. If you selected a location on a wall, place the system on a stepladder or something similar to position it as close as possible to its final mounting location.
4.Walk around the area you want to protect. When the system detects your movement, its ARMED indica- tor flashes.
5.Adjust the system’s position until you are satisfied with its coverage.
