TROUBLESHOOTING
If you experience problems with your security console or accessories, try correcting
the problem as suggested in this section. If you cannot correct the problem, contact
your local Radio Shack store for assistance.
Problem Solution
The system does not arm. • Check that INSTALL/RUN 1/RUN 2 on the console is
in the RUN 1 or RUN 2 position.
• If you are using a remote control to arm the system,
check that the battery indicator on the remote con-
trol turns on when you press
ARM on the keychain
remote control or ARM HOME/ARM AWAY on the
handheld remote control. Replace the battery and
re-initialize the remote control, if necessary.
A zone indicator flashes slow-
ly. A sensor transmitter/motion detector has not reported in
within 4 hours. Check the sensor transmitter/motion de-
tector’s battery or bypass the zone.
A zone indicator flashes rapid-
ly. You pressed BYPASS on the console to arm the system
while a sensor transmitter/motion detector was reporting
a problem. The zone arms when you correct the problem.
You hear a repetitive trouble
alarm when you try to arm the
system, and it does not arm. Check the zone indicators. If a door or window is open,
its zone indicator is on. If there is a problem with a sensor
transmitter or motion detector, its zone indicator flashes
slowly. You can correct this two ways:
• Press DISARM . Check that each door/window sen-
sor transmitter is working and that you have not left
a door or window open. Then arm the system.
• While the trouble alarm sounds, press and hold
BYPASS on the console to override the problem
zone (its zone indicator then flashes rapidly). Then
arm the system.
The alarm trips when you en-
ter the house before you have
time to disarm it. • Arm the system in the delay mode. Set the DELAY
switch on the entry door sensor transmitter to MAX .
Set the ENTRY switch on the handheld remote con-
trol to DELAY , and then press ARM AWAY on the
handheld remote control.
• Disarm the system before you trip a sensor (such
as the supplied motion detector) set to MIN .
