Most operating conditions of your 5500 Control Unit will not warrant
shutdown. However, to shutdown the unit follow the steps below:
Step 1: Press the Start/Stop button and release it when both the Test LED and
Ready LED lights are on solid. After some time both LEDs will go off. The
system speaker will beep every 5 seconds to signal that shutdown is complete.
Step 2: Remove the power from the system by removing the power cord
from the electrical outlet.
In some circumstances, you may not be able to use the normal process above.
If both LEDs will not light, your request for shutdown by pressing the Start/
Stop button is not recognized. Remove the power from the system by
removing the power cord from the electrical outlet.
