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