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 RadioShack 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
slowly.
One of the sensors/motion detectors has not re-
ported in during the past 4 hours.
Check the battery in the sensor/motion detector to
see if it needs to be replaced, or bypass the zone.
A zone indicator flashes
rapidly.
You pressed
BYPASS
on the console to arm the
system while a sensor/motion detector was report-
ing a problem. Correct the problem. The zone arms
automatically when the problem is corrected.
You hear a repetitive trou-
ble 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 or motion detector, its zone indicator
flashes slowly. You can correct this two ways:
•Press
DISARM. Check that each wireless sen-
sor transmitter is working properly and that
you have not left a door or window open. Then
arm the system.
While the trouble alarm is sounding, press and
hold
BYPASS on the console to override the
problem zone (its zone indicator then flashes
rapidly). Then arm the system.
