INTRODUCTION
The Portable Alarm is a battery
powered multi-functional alarm.
The system has 2 operating
modes: ALARM and CHIME. The
Chime Mode is a low security
facility used to notify you when the
device is activated by producing a
door-chime sound. In alarm mode
the device will produce a constant
high volume alarm sound.
A dual Personal Attack function
enables the alarm to be activated at
any time in the event of a personal
threat or danger, (except in CHIME
mode when only the keypad will
trigger the Personal Attack Alarm).
