Silencing Low Battery Warning Tones at the Keypad
You can silence the keypad’s warning tones by pressing the
1
key,
OFF
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.
