To provide backup power for the system during AC
power failures, installation of the optional Console
backup batteries is recommended.
For backup batteries, use two fresh 9-volt alkaline
batteries.
1. Remove the battery access door.
2. Snap one of the battery clips onto the first battery
and slide the battery into the battery compartment.
3. Snap the other battery clip onto the second
battery and fit it into the battery compartment.
4. Replace the battery access door.
To verify the system integrity, it is important to test
the system on a regular basis.
Follow these steps to test the system:
1. Start with all protected doors and windows closed
and the system in the Chime Mode. Verify that
CHIME is the only indicator lit on the Console.
2. If any sensor status indicators are flashing briefly,
that sensor has a low battery and its batteries should
be replaced (see Replacing Sensor Batteries).
If any sensor status indicators are slowly blinking, an
alarm has occurred previously from that sensor.
Clear the indication(s) by switching the system to
Chime Mode again and continue testing.
3. Open a protected opening and verify that the
Console "ding-dongs" and that the sensor's status
indicator stays lit as long as the door or window is
open. Repeat for all other sensors.
4. Arm the system to the Away Mode and wait 45
seconds for the exit delay beeps to stop.
5. Open a delayed protected opening. The entry
delay beeps should sound for 45 seconds, then the
siren should sound. Disarm the system to Off or
Chime Mode to stop the siren.
NOTE: To test optional motion detectors.
A. Stay out of covered area for five minutes.
B. Arm system to Away Mode and wait 45 seconds.
C. Walk into covered area - alarm should sound
immediately.
D. Disarm system.
