Allowing
Computer
Access to Your
System
From time to time, your installer may need to send information to, or retrieve
information from your security system. Your installer will call your system over the
telephone line using a computer. You may need to prepare your system to receive
this “downloading” call. To do this:
1. Press
[Master code]
. This allows downloading for 1 or 6 hours
depending your installer’s set up. During this time, the system will answer
incoming downloading calls.
For more information on this feature, please ask your installer.
“Device low battery,
press [7].”
Your system has detected that one or more of the wireless
detectors on the system has a low battery. Press
, and the sys-
tem will announce which devices have a low battery. Change
the relevant batteries. See page 26 for instructions. If this does
not correct the problem, call for service.
“The time and date
are incorrect.”
If all power to the system is interrupted (AC and battery), the
system clock and date will need to be reset. See
Setting the
Time and Date
on page 21. If you are unsure of the cause of
the system power failure, call for service.
