Troubleshooting

Alarm does not sound when motion is detected.

Ensure batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient power. Check that the unit is armed using the remote. Verify that the motion is within the 7-meter detection range and not obstructed.

Remote control is not working.

Check the battery in the remote control and replace if necessary. Ensure you are within the 5-meter operating range of the alarm unit. Try re-arming/disarming to see if the signal is received.

False alarms are being triggered.

Ensure the sensor is not pointed directly at heat sources (like vents or windows with direct sunlight) or areas with significant air currents. Reposition the unit if necessary. Consider the potential for pets or insects triggering the sensor.

Alarm stays on continuously.

The alarm should auto-reset after 30 seconds. If it does not, try removing and reinserting the batteries to perform a hard reset. If the issue persists, contact the manufacturer.
