If you do not hear a beep from the
Console when you register a Door/
Window Sensor or Motion Detector.

With the Console NOT armed check that
it chimes when you press TEST on the
Door/Window Sensor, or the alarm trips
when you press test on a Motion Detector
(when the system IS armed). If it does,
then the sensor is already installed and no
further action is necessary. If not:

• Reregister the sensor/motion detector

(see Setting Up Door/Window Sensors
and Setting Up Motion Detectors.

If the battery indicator on the Console is
on.

Replace the Console’s batteries. Four AA
alkaline batteries provides approximately
12 hours of backup. Replace batteries at
least once a year.

If you lose your remote control.

Reinstall your complete system to prevent
someone else from using the lost remote
control. See bottom of page 39.

If the system Arms or Disarms by itself

A neighbor may have a compatible
system. Reinstall the complete system so
that it chooses different RF codes. See
bottom of page 39.

If the light on the Keychain Remote stays
on during initialization.

Remove the batteries, press a button
for a few seconds, release, then replace
the batteries. Press and hold the ARM
button on the Keychain Remote for a
few seconds and then release it. This
initializes the remote and picks a random
code that is used when it is registered with
the Console. Reregister the remote.

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

You open a door or window and the alarm
does not trip.

• Check that the system is armed.

• Check to see if the alarm trips when

you press TEST inside the Door/
Window Sensor.

• If the alarm does not trip when you

press TEST, check that the indicator on
the sensor comes on when you press
TEST.

If the indicator does not come on, replace
the batteries and reinstall the sensor if
necessary.

If appliances turn off during an alarm.

The system fl ashes lights by repetitively
transmitting the SECURITY light on and
off codes.

Any Appliance Modules set to the same
codes will therefore turn on and off.

If you do not hear a beep from the
Console when you press ARM to install a
Remote.

• Re-initialize the remote (see page 12).
