Silencing Low Battery
Warning Tones at the
Keypad
You can silence the keypad’s warning tones by pressing the OFF key, but the keypad's low
battery message display will remain on as a reminder that you have a low battery condition in
one or more of your sensors. When you replace the weak battery with a fresh one, the sensor
will send a "good battery" signal to the control as soon as the sensor is activated
(opening/closing of door, window, etc.), causing the low battery display to turn off. If the sensor
is not activated, the display will automatically clear within approximately 1 hour.
Routine Care
•
Treat the components of your security
system as you would any other electrical equipment. Do
not slam sensor-protected doors or windows.
•
Keep dust from accumulating on the keypad and all protective sensors, particularly on motion
sensors and smoke detectors.
•
The keypad and sensors should be cleaned carefully with a dry soft cloth.
Do not spray water
or any other fluid on the units.
