ACTIVATING THE
REMOTE CONTROLS
You must train the system to respond
to the supplied remote controls.To ac-
tivate both remote controls, immedi-
ately after applying power, press
on one of the remotes. The sys-
TALK
tem says "System Armed." Press
again to disarm the sys-
ARM TALK
tem. The system says "System Dis-
armed."
If the system loses power and the
backup battery is dead or not in-
stalled, the system stops responding
to both remotes. Simply follow this
procedure again to reactivate them.
Both of the supplied system remotes
share the same remote code, but
your system can learn two remote
codes if you want to add another re-
mote control (Cat. No. 49-845). To
activate a second remote control
code, be sure the system is dis-
armed, then hold down
10 seconds. The system says "Thank
You." Press any button on the new re-
mote to activate it.

INSTALLING THE
BACKUP BATTERY
A 9-volt battery (not supplied) powers
your alarm if its main power is cut.
Follow these steps to install the bat-
ARM tery.
Note: For the best protection and
longest life, we recommend you use
an alkaline battery, such as Ra-
dioShack Cat. No. 23-553.
1. Slide off the compartment cover.
2. Snap a 9-volt battery onto the
for
ARM TALK
battery contacts.
3. Place the battery in the compart-
ment.
4. Replace the compartment cover.
A new battery powers the alarm for
about 21 hours with no alert, or 15
minutes of continuous alert. The
alarm's volume is reduced when it is
operating from the battery.
We recommend you replace the bat-
tery every 6 months, even if it has not
been used to power the system.
