Changing the batteries
Always use alkaline batteries as replacements to ensure long service life. The typical life
of the batteries is 2 years.
Siren
The siren will produce a series of pips when
armed and disarmed, and an interrupted alarm
sound (if activated) if the siren batteries are near
exhaustion. Change the batteries as soon as
possible. The sound will be reset when the
batteries are changed.
• When changing the batteries allow the battery
detection feature time to reset by waiting a
minute after removing the old batteries before
replacing them with new alkaline replacements.
• The difference between a tamper alert and a
low battery alert can be determined by arming
and disarming the system. If there are 5 pips
when the system is armed and disarmed, the
batteries are low. If there are 5 pips only when
the system is armed, this means the siren
tamper has been disturbed.
