Changing the batteries
Always use alkaline batteries as replacements, any other type of battery can cause
problems with the operation of the system. Typical life of batteries is three years. Ensure
the correct steps are taken when changing batteries in tamper protected devices.
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.
• You can determine if your siren is sounding a
tamper warning or a low battery warning by
arming and disarming the system. If the siren
produces 5 pips when the system is armed and
disarmed, the batteries are low. If the siren
produces 5 pips, only when the system is
armed, the tamper switch has been disturbed.
