The Basics
Question
Why do my appliances
turn off during an alarm?
Why does my system Arm or
Disarm by itself?
Why does the light on my
Keychain Remote stay on
during initialization?
Why didn't my alarm trip
when I opened the door/
window?
Answer
Your appliance modules might be set
to the same code as your Security
Console. The system flashes lights
by repetitively transmitting the
SECURITY light "on" and "off"
codes. Any Appliance Modules set
to the same codes will turn on and
off.
A neighbor may have a compatible
system. Re-register the complete
system so it chooses different RF
codes.
You may need to re-register your
remote.
• Remove the batteries, wait a few
seconds, and then replace the
batteries.
• Press and hold the arm button
on the Keychain Remote for a
second and then release it. This
initializes the remote and picks a
random code that is used when
it is registered with the Console.
• Re-register your remote.
You may need to re-register your
door/window sensor.
• Check that the system is armed.
• Check to see if the alarm trips
when you move the magnet
away.
• If the alarm does not trip, check
that the indicator on the sensor
comes on when you move the
magnet away.
If the indicator does not come on,
replace the batteries and re-register
the sensor if necessary.
