Step 1. Install your Base Station
• Set up your Base Station in a central location in your
house. Don’t install it on the floor.
• Plug the Base Station into a power outlet using the
included power cord.
Make sure the power
outlet is not controlled by
a light switch which could
accidentally cut power to
the Base Station
It’s the control center of your system, communicating
with all of your wireless sensors.
It can connect to wifi and has a built in cellular alarm
transmitter that will send us your alarm signals when
you activate your SimpliSafe alarm monitoring service
(see page 14).
For a UL 985 installation, you must always secure the
power adapter to the wall with a bracket. Please contact
SimpliSafe for details.

Install your Keypads
• Remove the battery activation strip.
• Adhesive tape has already been installed on the back of
the Keypad – just peel and stick. If you make a mistake,
see “How do I move a sensor?” on page 18.
• Adhere the Keypad to the wall by your main entrance.
Helpful Information about your Keypad
Your alarm system has 3
modes: Away, Home, and
O. Turn your alarm on by
putting it in Away or Home
Mode. Turn your alarm o by
putting it in O Mode.
Before applying the adhesive
tape make sure the surface is
clean and dry.
For the most reliable wireless
connection, install the Keypad
10-100 ft from the Base Station.
Your default PIN is 1234. We’ll help you change that when
we personalize your system in just a few minutes.

Install your Motion Sensors
• Remove the battery activation strip.
• Place the Motion Sensor on a shelf or
adhere it to a wall, approximately 4 to 5 ft
o the ground.
Helpful Information about your Motion Sensor
If you have large pets weighing more than 30 lbs, you can
install your Motion Sensors upside down. This way they’ll
ignore any movement underneath them.
By default, all Motion Sensors will be active in the Away
Mode only. Put the alarm in the Home Mode and you can
move freely about your home without setting o an alarm.
Your Motion Sensor
looks straight ahead
and 90° to the left
and right. It also looks
downward at a 45°
angle. Mount it in a
corner for maximum
coverage of your room.
• Avoid placing the sensor near a heater, air conditioner,
lamp, or electronics (such as a WiFi router).
• When placed 5 ft o the ground the Motion Sensor should
not detect pets under 30 lbs, as long as the pet cannot get
within 5 ft of it.

Install your Glassbreak Sensors
• Remove the battery activation strip.
• Adhere the Glassbreak Sensor close to a
bank of windows or on a wall facing your
windows.
• You can install it up to 20 ft away from
the windows you’d like to protect.
Helpful Information about your Glassbreak Sensor
Glassbreak Sensors are programmed to “listen” for
the specific frequency of glass breaking.
Avoid placing your Glassbreak Sensor in the kitchen,
as glasses knocking into each other could trigger a
false alarm.
Curtains can dull the sound of
glass breaking. If your windows
are covered in heavy curtains,
place your Glassbreak Sensor
within 5-10 ft of your windows.
Max Distance: 20 ft

Install your Entry Sensors
• Remove the battery activation strip.
• Align the magnet with the sensor so
the two pieces are less than 2 inches
apart when the door or window is
closed.
When the door or
window is closed,
the magnet should
be within 2 inches
of the sensor and
aligned between
the grooves.
Test the alignment before you adhere
each piece. The blue light should flash
once when the door or window opens
and twice when it closes.
• Adhere the sensor on the door and the magnet on
the doorframe, or the other way around. There is no
“right side up.”
