Battery Notes
Door/Window Sensors, Motion Detectors and Keychain Remotes
are designed to operate for approximately one year after the
appropriate batteries are installed. Since operating conditions vary
from installation to installation, we recommend replacing batteries
every six months.
security console
The batteries in your Security Console are used as a backup
when there has been a power failure. The batteries provide
approximately 12 hours of backup time, provided the alarm has not
been triggered.
While on battery backup, your Security Console will continue to
operate, and will sound the siren and dial out if the alarm is tripped.
Since there is no AC power, the house lights will not flash.
If both the AC supply and the batteries fail, your Security Console
will not operate. It will not lose its telephone numbers, recorded
message, or installed sensors and remotes. But, you must reset the
clock for the correct time of day.
Batteries can be replaced at any time, even while the unit is
powered up. Use four AA alkaline batteries.
keychain remotes
You can install new batteries in your Keychain Remote at any time.
You do not have to re-register your remote, unless the batteries
have already failed. New batteries must be installed within 30
seconds of removing the old batteries from your Keychain Remote.
This ensures the security code is retained.
Gently pry the two halves of the Keychain Remote’s case apart and
install two CR2016 lithium batteries in the compartment
(+ facing up). Press the two halves of the cabinet back together.
Once the batteries have been replaced, confirm the remote is still
registered with your Security Console by arming the system. If it
does not arm, the code has been lost and you will need to register
your Keychain Remote again. Folllow the procedure on page 8.
