7. Activation and Wireless Alarm Network
Upon initial power being applied (from rotating onto mounting plate or moving the red activation wheel to
the “ON” position - see
Figure 7.1B
) these units are ready to connect to a network.
NOTE:
At any time during wireless alarm setup, if you have a problem, you can push and hold the Hush/Test
button on any problem unit until you hear three (3) beeps (approx 8 sec), and then release the button. The unit
will reset the unit’s wireless settings (described in Section 7.3). Once wireless settings are reset, the unit will
prompt the user to follow Quickstart instructions.
NOTE:
Wireless units will emit a series of LED blinks, tones, and voices as the unit(s) search for a wireless alarm
setup. If you are intending to use wireless units without the wireless function, ignore these notifications, and
the wireless function will eventually turn off. You can turn the wireless function on again at a later date if desired.
See Section 7.2.
NOTE:
The battery activation is a one-time feature. After activation, the battery cannot be turned off, and can
only be discharged at the end of product life. If the alarm is removed from the mounting plate, the battery will
remain active. See Permanently Disable Alarm / Discharge Battery section.
Wireless

other compatible wireless units in the wireless alarm network will alarm. These alarms connect to each other
wirelessly via communication on the 915-928 MHz band.
