Abstract
Abstract In a preferred embodiment, a remotely armed alarm system which is useful in protecting a personal article, which system includes a motion-activated receiver/alarm disposed in the article. The receiver/alarm is armed in response to a first RF signal from a remote transmitter/controller and is disarmed in response to a second RF signal from the transmitter/controller. The receiver/alarm produces an audible sound when the article is moved, the type of sound, i.e., continuous or discontinuous, being selectively determined by the transmitter/controller. The alarm sounds for a predetermined length of time after each movement of the article.
