As you m ovearound your home, the light onyour Motion Sensor may continue toflash r egularly, or the light maystart to blink twice every fewseconds. When the light is blink ing,that means that you are not in a goodlocation to install your Motion Sensor,as the radio signal is not good enough.Don't panic! There are two reasons thelight might do this. One is that you arein a slightly bad spot for the wirelessnetwork ; you may find that moving thesensor just a few inches one way oranother is all it takes to get to a betterplace.

The Door/Window Sensor detectswhether a door, window, or otherthing is Open or Closed. The sensorhas two parts - a larger part, intowhich the battery is placed, and asmaller part (which is actually amagnet). The Door/Window Sensor isdesigned for use indoors but it can beused on external windows or doors,providing that the larger part isnormally indoors. You can use theDoor/Window Sensor to check whetherground floor exterior doors and largewindows are open or closed (especiallyhelpful when combined with AlertMe'swarning if you leave your home set to"Away" without closing everything!).The larger part of the sensor isusually placed on the door orwindow frame, and the smallerm agnet placed on the door orwindow itself; the two parts m ust beparallel to each other, and as closeto touching as you can place them ,without stopping the m oving partfrom opening smoothly. Each part ofthe sensor has a pair of little lines onone side; you should install the sensorwith those sides with the little linesnext to each other . This is illustratedin the bottom half of this page. Try toleave at least a centimetre or so ofem pty space at either end of theDoor/Window Sensor.Check out the pictures!If you have UPVC windows or otherwindows with bevelled or anglededges click here.You should also try to follow our generalAccessory positioning guidelines.If you are having problems positioningit, try reading our help on positioning.Getting started with the Door/Window Sensor - Alertme http://wiki.alertme.com/wiki/index.php/Getting_star...3 of 6 10/10/08 11:59
