Care
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.
