Questions and answers
SO3 Box tells me low battery even after I changed it in door sensor.
The low battery warning may appear after changing the battery in the door sensor if the system has not yet recognized the new battery. Possible reasons include improper battery installation, a low-quality or partially drained battery, or a delay in the system updating the battery status. To resolve this, ensure the battery is correctly installed, use a fresh battery, and allow some time for the system to update. If the issue persists, refer to the troubleshooting section or contact Fortress Customer Support.
