How do I test it?

Press "OFF" on your Keyfob and see if it "chirps."

You can also call a tattletale operator to put your account on test, and then set off the alarm or the panic feature.

Important: If you do not place your account on test prior to testing, police could be dispatched to your location.

What happens if someone cuts the cord?

The Siren/Strobe will not work until the cord is replaced.

What happens if the power is cut or lost?

The Wired Siren/Strobe will not sound if the power is cut or lost.

How do I turn it off?

Simply disarm the tattletale. Otherwise, unplug the Siren from the black relay box.

How long will the siren sound during an event?

The external siren will sound as long as the base unit is in an alarm state. At default settings, the siren will sound for 8 minutes after each alarm event, or until disarmed.

Why does my Siren/Strobe sound, but not flash?

The strobe wires may be reversed. The red wire should be on the positive and the black wire should be on the negative.

See photo.

Why doesn't my Siren/Strobe flash or sound when the alarm trips?

Verify that the black relay box is connected to power, connected to your tattletale, and that the siren head is connected to the relay box.

If everything appears to be connected properly and is still not working, call us at 1-888-TELL-ON-U. Please have your serial number ready when you call, and be on location with the base unit.
