Radio Shack 63-1007 - Ultrasonic Parking Alert System

This parking assistant will help you to park your car without the hassle of bumping into other cars or objects. It has a memory function that lets you save a preferred parking distance and alert you with a buzzer and light indicator when you approach that distance. You can manually turn the system on/off or select between high and low sound levels. The system can be powered with the included AC adapter or with 4 AA batteries (not included) for backup power in case of an AC power failure.

Ultrasonic Parking Alert System

Your RadioShack Ultrasonic Parking Alert

System eliminates the guesswork from park-

ing. You can set the system to alert you

when your vehicle is parked the desired dis-

tance from the base.

Memory — lets you set the desired parking

distance.

Power/Low Battery Indicator — indicates

that the power is on, or that the battery pow-

er is low.

Supplied AC Adapter — lets you power the

system from a standard AC outlet.

Power ON/OFF Switch — allows you to

manually turn the system on or off at any

time.

Sound HI/LO/OFF — lets you select an alert

volume that best suits your needs.

INSTALLING THE BASE’S

BATTERIES

The base needs four AA batteries (not sup-

plied) for back-up power in case AC power

fails. For the best performance and longest

life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline

batteries.

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the required

size and recommended type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries or dif-

ferent types of batteries (standard, alka-

line, or rechargeable).

1. Lift up the

battery com-

partment

cover on the

back of the

base and

remove it.

2. Place the batteries in the compartment

as indicated by the polarity symbols (+

and –) marked inside.

3. Replace the cover.

The Power/Low Battery Indicator flashes

about once every 5 seconds when the AC

power cord is plugged in, or if the power cord

is unplugged and the batteries have enough

power. The Power/Low Battery Indicator

flashes more rapidly if the power cord is un-

plugged and the batteries are low. When this

happens, replace the batteries.

Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly

and properly. Do not burn or bury them.

Caution: If you do not plan to use the sys-

tem for two weeks or longer, remove the bat-

teries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can

destroy electronic parts.

MOUNTING THE BASE

Mount the base at a height where the driver

can easily see it from the vehicle. For the

best performance, we recommend that you

mount the base about 3 to 6 feet from the

floor of the garage.

1. Drill two vertical holes into the mounting

surface 35/16 inches apart.

2. Thread the two supplied gold screws into

the holes until the heads extend about 1/8

inch from the wall.

3. Align the base’s keyhole slots with the

screw heads and slide the base down to

secure it.

MOUNTING THE SENSOR

Mount the sensor below the base and about

12 to 24 inches above the ground so it directly

faces the vehicle’s front bumper or the license

plate.

1. Drill two horizontal holes into the mount-

ing surface 23/4 inches apart.

2. Thread the two supplied silver screws

into the holes until the heads extend

about

1/4 inch from the wall.

3. Align the sensor’s keyhole slots with the

screw heads and slide the sensor in

place to secure it.

Note: If the vehicle’s front bumper, or the li-

cense plate, appear angled (in relation to the

sensor), mount the supplied foam on the back

of the sensor to compensate.

CONNECTING THE BASE

AND THE SENSOR

Insert the plug on one end of the supplied

telephone-type line cord into the base’s jack,

then plug the other end into the sensor’s jack.

CONNECTING THE AC

ADAPTER

Power the system from a standard AC outlet

using the supplied 12V 200 mA AC adapter.

Cautions:

You must use a Class 2 power

source that supplies 12V DC

and delivers at least 200 mA.

Its center tip must be set to positive and

its plug must fit the system's DC 12V jack.

The supplied adapter meets these speci-

fications. Using an adapter that does not

meet these specifications could damage

the system or the adapter.

• Always connect the AC adapter to the

system before you connect it to AC

power. When you finish, disconnect the

adapter from AC power before you dis-

connect it from the system.

1. Slide ON/OFF on the base to OFF.

2. Insert the AC adapter’s barrel plug into

the base’s DC 12V jack.

3. Plug the other end of the adapter into a

standard AC outlet.

OPERATION

1. Slide ON/OFF on the base to ON. The

power indicator on the sensor lights for a

few seconds.

2. Side HI/LO/OFF on the base to the desired

sound level (HI or LO) or slide it to OFF to

turn off the sound.

3. When your vehicle comes within about 10

feet of the sensor, the base’s green indi-

cator flashes and the buzzer sounds (if

the sound is on). The flashing rate and

buzzer cycle speed up the closer your

vehicle gets to the base.

Warnings:

• Do not rely solely on your system the

first few times you park your vehicle.

Have another person help you to make

sure all settings are accurate and that

the system works properly.

• We recommend that you also check

your system’s accuracy about every 6

months.

• If you set up the system by pulling your

vehicle in front end first, do not park

your vehicle in your garage back-

wards.

4. When your vehicle enters the preset

parking distance (from the base), the

base’s red indicator lights and the buzzer

stops. Stop your vehicle and put it in park.

The red indicator automatically turns off

after about 15 seconds.

CHANGING THE PARKING

POSITION

Your system’s preset parking distance is

about 11/4–11/2 feet away from the sensor. Fol-

low these steps to increase the parking dis-

tance. (You cannot set the system to park

closer than its preset distance.)

1. Park your vehicle at the desired distance

from the sensor. The base’s green indica-

tor flashes.

2. Use a pointed object (such as a paper

clip) to press MEMORY on the sensor. The

base’s red indicator lights when the sen-

sor has stored the new parking distance.

Notes:

• If the base’s green indicator stops flash-

ing before you press MEMORY, slide ON/

OFF on the base to OFF, then to ON. Wait

a few seconds, then press MEMORY to

store the desired parking distance. The

base’s red indicator lights when the sen-

sor has stored the parking distance.

• If the base’s red indicator does not turn

off, the sensor might not be directly facing

the vehicle’s front bumper or license

plate. Make sure that the front of the vehi-

cle is on a parallel plane with the sensor.

• If the system loses power, it automatically

returns to the default parking position

(about 11/4–11/2 feet away from the sen-

sor). Reset the alert position as neces-

sary.

CARE

Keep the system dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry

immediately. Use and store the system only in

normal temperature environments. Handle the

system carefully; do not drop it. Keep the sys-

tem away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a

damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking

new.

Modifying or tampering with the system’s in-

ternal components can cause a malfunction

and might invalidate its warranty If your sys-

tem is not performing as it should, take it to

your local RadioShack store for assistance.
