Your RadioShack Personal Alarm
quickly triggers when you press a but-
ton or remove the hand strap. It also
detects motion, so you can strategical-
ly place it where motion will trigger the
alarm sound and alert you or deter a
thief. It also has a built-in flashlight.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your personal alarm requires one 9-
volt battery to power the alarm and
two AA batteries to power the built-in
flashlight. We recommend alkaline
batteries, such as RadioShack Cat.
Nos. 23-553 and 23-552.
To install the batteries:
1. Gently press and push off the bat-
tery compartment cover.
2. Snap the 9-volt battery’s connec-
tor over the 9-volt terminals and
put the battery into the compart-
ment.
3. Place two AA batteries into the
compartment, matching the polar-
ity symbols (+ and –) marked
inside the compartment.
4. Replace the cover.
If the alarm’s sound or light weakens,
replace the batteries.
ALARM TRIGGERING
The alarm triggers when it detects mo-
tion, when you press a button, or
when you pull off the hand strap.
Motion Alarm
Place the alarm on a flat, stable sur-
face. Gently slide Li
g
ht/Motion
Alarm to Motion Alarm. The indicator
lights for about 30 seconds. During
this period you can still change the
alarm’s location. After that, any motion
it detects will trigger the alarm.
The alarm sounds for about 20 sec-
onds, then it silences for about 3 sec-
onds and returns to a standby mode.
Any further motion will trigger the
alarm again.
To silence the alarm, slide Li
g
ht/Mo-
tion Alarm to the middle or Li
g
ht po-
sition.

Pressing a Button
To trigger the alarm, set Light/Motion
Alarm to the middle or Light position.
Hold down the button near the hand
strap. Release the button to silence
the alarm.
Pulling Off the Hand Strap
Set Light/Motion Alarm to the middle
or Light position. Secure your alarm
and attach the hand strap to your
wrist. If the hand strap comes off, the
alarm sounds until you reinsert the
hand strap into its slot. (Inserting the
hand strap with the rib facing down
makes it easier to pull off the strap
and trigger the alarm.)
USING THE
FLASHLIGHT
Slide Light/Motion Alarm to Light.
The light turns on.
When the bulb burns out, slide and lift
the transparent cover. Turn the bulb
counterclockwise to remove it. Use
Cat. No. 272-1124 as the replace-
ment bulb. Screw in the new bulb and
replace the transparent cover.
CARE
These suggestions will help you care for
the alarm.
• Keep the alarm dry. If it does get wet,
wipe it dry immediately.
• Handle it gently and carefully.
• Use and store the alarm only in normal
temperature environments.
• Keep it away from dust and dirt,.
• Wipe the alarm with a damp cloth
occasionally. Do not use harsh chemi-
cals, cleaning solvents, or strong
detergents on it
• Use only fresh batteries of the required
size and type. Always remove old or
weak batteries. Batteries can leak
chemicals that can destroy electronic
circuits.
Modifying or tampering with your alarm’s in-
ternal components can cause a malfunction
and might invalidate your warranty. If the
alarm does not perform as it should, take it
to your local RadioShack store.
