General Information

Your security system might use keypads or keyfobs that
use a radio frequency to send signals to your security
system. These RF (wireless) devices are programmed
with a unique code that allows only your keypads and
keyfobs to work with your security system.
Although the range of your RF devices can
be up to 150 meters (500 feet) in open air,
normal building materials can greatly
reduce their range. The range can be
reduced even further if you are in your
automobile or if your home has aluminum
siding. Test the range of your RF devices
by trying them at various locations.

Because they are wireless, these RF devices operate on
batteries. The batteries supplied with your RF devices
should last for several years, but battery life can vary
depending on the amount of use they receive. If you
notice the range of the RF device is decreasing or if the
LED is not working, it might be time to replace your
battery. Refer to the documentation that came with
your RF device for recommended replacement
batteries and instructions for battery replacement.
Your RF device does not indicate if the
alarm system is armed or disarmed. If you
want to know if the system is armed or
disarmed, ask your installing company to
install an indicator light or other device to
indicate the system status. The LED on
your RF device flashes to indicate that a
signal was sent to your security system.

Option and Emergency Keys

Some RF devices have option keys that your installing
company can program to control other devices (such as
lights) within the protected area, or emergency keys
that your installing company can program to perform
functions including activating alarm responses and
operating relays. If your RF device(s) have these keys,
ask your installer to explain the option key(s) or
emergency keys programmed for your device(s). Refer
to also Section 7.0 Emergency Procedures on page 19.
