DEFCON 3 AT A GLANCE
The DEFCON 3 Security System provides a number of options through its
programmable features - the electronic motion sensor, the alarm siren
sound, and alarm volume.

Features
Electronic Motion Sensor Triggers the alarm when motion is
detected. You can choose from two
different sensitivity settings.
Level 1 - Low Motion Sensitivity (default)
Level 2 - High Motion Sensitivity
Alarm Volume 84dB - Low Volume
94dB - High Volume (default)
Alarm Siren Choice of six different sounds
Remote Control Allows easy control of all features and
functions of your alarm unit from up to
40 feet away.
Panic Alarm/Locator Sounds an immediate alarm siren for
personal protection or to locate the alarm
unit and the item to which it’s attached.
LED Lights Provide visual warning and alarm status
ACTIVATING THE ALARM UNIT
The DEFCON 3 Security System is designed to work with a specific
remote control. To activate the alarm unit, you must first transmit a signal
from its remote control device. Once the alarm unit has received the unique
remote control ID code, it only responds to that remote control and ignores
other signals.

continuous tone, then sounds a loud siren for 30 seconds. The alarm unit
resets itself against additional threats.

The LED light goes out. Next, you will hear two chirps, or
three chirps if the siren sounded while you were away.

theft deterrence, or to locate the alarm unit itself.
To activate the alarm siren, simultaneously press and hold both buttons on
the remote control.

that will be stored in the alarm unit’s memory.
3. Press and hold the Arm/Disarm button on the remote
control to make your selection.

is about to go off. After 30 seconds, the alarm siren stops,
and the alarm unit automatically rearms itself at the current
motion sensitivity setting.
