3.2 Keyfob Response
When executing a command, the keyfob's Transmission LED blinks red once to indicate transmission of the command to the control panel. If the
operation is
successfully completed
, the green LED lights momentarily and a
"happy tune"
is heard. If the operation
fails or cannot be
completed
, for example, when the system is "not ready", the red LED lights steadily and a
"sad tune"
is heard. When executing a command and
there is a communication failure between the keyfob device and the control panel, the keyfob's Transmission LED remains off and no tune is heard.

4. MAINTENANCE
4.1 Replacing the Battery
When the keyfob device stops operating due to low battery and until the time the battery is completely depleted, all LEDs will light blue.
A replacement 3V battery, VARTA CR-2032, is available from hardware and electrical supply stores. Replace the battery as shown in Figure 2.
Caution!
Battery may explode if replaced by incorrect type or if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of the battery in fire.
4.2 Cleaning
Clean the keyfob only with a soft cloth or sponge moistened lightly with a mixture of water and mild detergent, and wipe it dry immediately.
The use of abrasives of any kind is strictly forbidden. Also never use solvents such as kerosene, acetone or thinner.
4.3 Periodic Test
Wireless equipment should be tested regularly to determine whether there are sources of interference and to protect against faults.
Refer to the PowerMaster Installer Guide, Chapter 6 Periodic Test, for instructions on how to conduct a periodic test.
