The 2GIG DW10 is a wireless sensor that is used to detect the opening or closing of doors or windows. It is important to replace the batteries in this device regularly to ensure proper operation.
Before you begin, it is important to note that your system may give a beep and indicate that there is something wrong when you remove the device. This is normal and will not send a signal to the police.
- Removing the Device: To remove the device, locate the thicker part on the door or window. There is a little notch in the back, which you can access with a flathead screwdriver. Give the screwdriver a little push and twist, and the device should come right off.
- Replacing the Batteries: The device takes two batteries, which can be found on the face of the device. Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pull out the old batteries. Replace the batteries with new ones, making sure that the writing is facing forward and the back of the batteries has a couple of numbers on it. If you put the batteries in facing the wrong way, it will not work and may even ruin the sensor.
- Reinstalling the Device: Once the batteries have been replaced, simply stick the device back in place and it will click into place. Check the sides of the device to make sure that there are no gaps, as this may cause a tamper signal to be sent.
