1 RealGuard 1. What is RealGuard? The RealGuard Personal Security System is a wireless personal security alarm system designed for real estate professionals. As a real estate agent, you can use the RealGuard system to give you a new level of personal safety during your regular course of business of showing properties to prospective buyers. RealGuard includes three alarm units, which communicate with each other through remote, wireless transmitters and receivers: • A Personal Unit, which you keep with you to use in case of an emergency. • An Auto Unit, which is installed on your automobile. • A Home Unit, which is installed in the home you are showing. You can purchase additional Personal Units and Home Units to expand your existing system. Personal Unit The Personal Unit is the source of the alarm signal. You can carry it in your hand, keep it in your pocket or handbag, or attach it to your belt. In an emergency, you press the panic button and the unit sounds an ear-piercing siren. It also transmits an emergency signal to the Auto Unit, which sends the signal on to the Home Unit. All three units sound an audible alarm. To turn off the siren, you press a sequence of four buttons. During setup, you select the sequence you want to use. The Personal Unit contains a flashlight, which can be useful in the dark for opening doors and lockboxes, and seeing your way around areas of homes and properties that are not adequately lit. Warning: Make sure you keep the unit away from your ears when you press the panic button. The alarm is very loud.
2 RealGuard Auto Unit The Auto Unit is installed in your automobile; it is the control unit for each RealGuard system. A unique coded signal set up for your system ensures that only your Personal Unit can activate your Auto Unit. When you press the panic button on the Personal Unit, it sends a signal to the Auto Unit, which sounds a horn installed under the hood. The Auto Unit passes the signal on to the Home Unit, which also emits a sound. The manufacturer recommends that you have a profession install the Auto Unit. To find the names of authorized installation firms, contact Misiu Systems Customer Service or refer to Misiu Systems web site. Installation includes: • Mounting an external 5-Watt horn in the engine compartment of your vehicle. • Mounting the Auto Unit behind the dashboard on the driver’s side of the car with the help of the included mounting bracket. The Auto Unit also is set up to operate with auxiliary devices, such as the optional RealGuard Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) device for reporting address information to local law enforcement agencies. Home Unit The Home Unit is plugged into an electrical outlet in the listed home, before the home is shown to potential buyers. While each Personal Unit must be accompanied by its own Auto Unit, the alarm on the Home Unit operates for any agent who is using a RealGuard system. The Home Unit can also be installed in brokerage offices or any other location to be secured by RealGuard Personal Security Alarms. It can be placed in an inconspicuous location on the property, such as behind a curtain, couch, or chair. You can manually switch the Home Unit to receive its activation signal directly from a Personal Unit, in case you do not have your vehicle on the premises or the Auto Unit has not yet been installed.

7 RealGuard 4. Installing the Units This chapter provides instructions for installing the three RealGuard units. Be sure to follow all the installation instructions carefully and in order to ensure that the units work correctly when you use them. Personal Unit Loading the Batteries Cautions: • Do not mix new and old batteries or batteries of different types. • Do not use rechargeable batteries. 1. Turn the screw on the back of the Personal Unit counter-clockwise to loosen the battery compartment cover. Remove the cover. 2. Insert two N Size 1.5V batteries inside the battery compartment as indicated by the drawing inside the compartment. 3. Replace the cover, and tighten the screw on the cover.
8 RealGuard Other Features of the Personal Unit The Personal Unit can also be used as a key chain holder, as shown in the figure. A wrist strap can be attached to the Personal Unit, as shown in the figure.
9 RealGuard Auto Unit Installing the Unit in the Vehicle The Auto Unit is designed to be installed under the dashboard on the driver’s side, as shown in the illustration. Normally, there is sufficient room behind the steering column. Since the installation process varies widely from car to car, we recommend that you have a qualified automobile installation service firm install the Auto Unit. If you plan to do it yourself, make sure you use the information in your vehicle’s user manual to help you. Installing the Horn The waterproof, outdoor horn sounds the alarm for the Auto Unit. Install the horn under the hood by mounting it securely to the firewall of the vehicle. Horn Battery
10 RealGuard Connecting the Cables The Auto Unit requires a 12V DC electrical supply, which is normally provided by the vehicle’s electrical system. The power source must be able to provide power to the unit when the vehicle is not running. The Auto Unit controls the horn. It can also control a Auxiliary Alarm Unit or a Telematics Device (see page 13). Use the diagram on the following page as a guide to connect the wires coming out of the Auto Unit. 1. Connect the Red, fused wire from the Auto Unit to a non-switched electrical source, such as the battery’s positive connector. We recommend that you splice into the cable between the battery and the starter switch. Important: Test the system often (see page 17), and replace the 3A/250V fuse if the Auto Unit stops working. 2. Connect the Black wire to the battery’s negative connector as a ground. 3. Feed the electrical leads of the horn through the firewall. 4. Connect the Blue wire from the Auto Unit to the Red wire from the horn. Ground the horn by connecting the Black wire 5. Ground the horn by connecting the Black wire to the frame of the vehicle.
11 RealGuard The wires include leads for two auxiliary devices that would be turned on when the Auto Unit sounds an alarm. (NO1, COM1, NC1, NO2, COM2, NC2). If you are not using an auxiliary device, such as a Telematics device, tie off these wires and position them out of the way.

12 RealGuard Installing the Antenna The Antenna is the single loose wire coming out of the top of the Auto Unit. 1. Route the antenna wire behind the dashboard such that a small portion of the antenna comes out on the dashboard of the vehicle to receive the alarm signal from the Personal Unit. 2. Make sure the tip of the antenna  at least ¼ inch  is near glass, outside the border of the vehicle’s metal framework. Otherwise it will not receive the signal.
13 RealGuard Using the Auxiliary Outputs (Optional) The Auto Unit includes two sets of auxiliary outputs, each of which contains normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), and common ground (COM) leads. You can use either of these outputs to connect to an Auxiliary Alarm Unit or a Telematics Device. When the Auto Unit sounds an alarm, the auxiliary device is activated. The example below shows the connections from the Auto Unit to the car battery and horn. It also shows the two possible methods of connecting an auxiliary device to the Auto Unit. Note: The example is only for reference and may not be applicable for some installations. Check with a qualified automotive service technician before doing these types of connections. Car Battery 12 V +  +  Telematics Device 12 V Operated NO NO NC NC Blue Red Black NO COM1 NC To Ground- - - Use either configuration.
14 RealGuard Home Unit The Home Unit is designed to be installed in homes that are listed for sale or rent by a real estate professional. They can also be installed in offices or other premises that will be visited by real estate professionals that use the RealGuard system. 1. Place the Home Unit in a convenient and unobtrusive position where its audible alarm can be heard by outsiders when it is activated. 2. Plug the AC Adapter into the AC Input Jack on the side of the Home Unit. 3. To turn on the unit, plug the AC Adapter into a common 110-Volt non-switched electrical connection. The unit will not operate unless it is plugged into a working electrical outlet.
15 RealGuard 5. Setting up and Testing the System Coordinating Your Personal Unit and Auto Unit Your Auto Unit must be trained to recognize the signal from your Personal Unit. After you have trained the Auto Unit, each time you press the Test button on the Personal Unit, all three units will emit a chirping sound. Note: Your Auto Unit can support up to eight Personal Units. You must train it to recognize each one. Follow these instructions to complete the training. If you are using more than one Personal Unit with the Auto Unit, follow this procedure individually for each Personal Unit. 1. Make sure the red power light on the Auto Unit is lit. If the unit has been correctly installed, it is automatically powered on. 2. Set the Auto Unit in Learn Mode. To do so, insert a sharp object into the hole and press the Learn button. Use the point of a pen, a paperclip, a thumb tack, or some other object that is not a lead pencil. Lead can damage the components. While the Auto Unit is in Learn mode, the green Learn light is lit. The unit remains in the Learn Mode for approximately 30 seconds and then automatically returns back to normal mode.
16 RealGuard 3. Press the Test button on the Personal Unit. The Transmit light on the Personal Unit starts blinking for a few seconds indicating that it is sending a signal to the Auto Unit. When the Auto Unit successfully recognizes the signal from the Personal Unit it turns off the Learn light. 4. Press the Test button on the Personal Unit again. The unit will not make a sound, but the Learn light on the Auto Unit will blink for a few seconds indicating that the training was successful. From then on, each time you press the Test button on the Personal Unit, all units in the system chirp.
17 RealGuard Testing the System Test the system after you have completed all the installation. Then test it periodically to make sure it is still working. If the Auto Unit does not operate correctly during a test, replace the fuse on the power wire. (See page 10 for more information.) Before testing the system, make sure: • Batteries have been installed in the Personal Unit. • The Auto Unit is powered on and successfully trained. The red power light should be lit. • The Home Unit is plugged in (so it is powered on). The red power light should be lit. To test the system: • Press the Test button on the Personal Transmitter Unit. Immediately all the three units will give a short chirp sound indicating they are functioning properly. Now your Personal Security Alarm is ready for use.
18 RealGuard Selecting the Deactivation Sequence Once you have pressed the Panic button on the Personal Unit, you can turn off the alarm by pressing a 4-button sequence: the Panic button followed by one of four optional 3-button sequences. Each of the 3-button sequences is a combination of the Test and Cancel buttons. Panic button Test button Cancel button You can use the deactivation sequence set up at the factory. Or, you can change the sequence to one of the other available sequences by changing the settings of the switches inside the battery compartment of the Personal Unit. Note: On the switch set, only switches 3 and 4 are used. Do not change the settings of switches 1 and 2.
19 RealGuard Sequence 1, the factory setting Press: Panic Test Cancel Cancel If you want to change the deactivation sequence setting, move the switches to the positions shown beside your choice. Use a sharp object, such as the tip of a ball point pen. Sequence 2 Panic Cancel Test Cancel Sequence 3 Panic Test Test Cancel Sequence 4 Panic Cancel Cancel Test
20 RealGuard 6. Using the Personal Unit Activating the Alarm IMPORTANT: Make sure all units are as far as possible from your ears when you sound the alarm. These sirens emit a high frequency sound of 103 decibels @ 1KHz to 2KHz, louder than a smoke alarm. In case of an emergency: • Press the Panic button on the Personal Unit and keep it pressed for approximately 2 seconds. All the three units will generate an ear-piercing siren sound and will continue until you use your deactivation sequence. (See page 18.) Using the Flashlight For your convenience, the Personal Unit contains a small flashlight. It is designed to stay on only as long as you are pressing the Flash button in order to save your batteries for emergencies. • To turn the flashlight on, press the Flash button. • To turn it off, release the Flash button. WARNING: Do not shine the flashlight directly into your eyes. Damage can occur.
21 RealGuard Changing the Alarm Mode of the Home Unit Every Home Unit responds to any Personal Unit. In normal operation, your vehicle (with your Auto Unit installed) must be nearby in order for the Home Unit’s siren to sound when you press the Panic button. The feature is a safeguard against a prankster finding a Personal Unit and setting off false alarms in neighborhood homes. However, if your vehicle is not in the vicinity, for example, if a friend gives you a ride to an open house you are hosting, you can changing the Home Unit to Local Mode, and your Panic button alone will activate the Home Unit. Important: When you leave the home, make sure you change the Home Unit back to REMOTE mode, so it can only be activated by someone with a complete RealGuard system. On the left side of the Home Unit is a slide switch that sets the unit to either Local Mode or Remote Mode. To change the setting of the Alarm Mode, slide the switch to the proper setting by using any sharp object, such as the tip of a pen, a paperclip, or a small screwdriver. Remote Local
