•
Locate the red wheel on the back of the device. Turn the red wheel to
the “ON” position on ALL devices using the white tool included with the
Quick Start Guide, or a standard screwdriver.
•
Once powered, the light rings will glow red and voice message will announce,
“Ready to connect. Follow Quick Start instructions.”
note:
If no further steps are taken within 15 minutes of initial power up, a voice prompt, “No devices found, not
connected” will be heard once, and the wireless function will turn off. The unit will then perform as a standard
hardwired alarm. See Section 9.3 for re-activating wireless.

Release button. You will hear “Searching for other devices”.
