- Fix a battery to power up the buzzer and vibrations sensors.
- The alarm can be set into two modes – active or passive. In active mode, the alarm will sound immediately as soon as a slight vibration is detected by the sensors. In passive mode, you can specify a period of delay when the alarm will sound if a vibration is detected.
