Routine Care
• Treat the components of your security system as you would any other electrical
equipment. Do not slam sensor-protected doors or windows.
• Keep dust from accumulating on the keypad and all protective sensors, particularly on
motion sensors and smoke detectors.
• The keypad and sensors should be cleaned carefully with a dry soft cloth. Do not
spray water or any other fluid on the units.
Indicates that a problem exists with the zone(s) displayed, accompanied by
rapid beeping. First, determine if the zone(s) displayed are intact and make
them so if they are not. If the zone uses a wireless detector, check that
changes in the room (moving furniture, televisions, etc.) are not blocking
wireless signals from the detector. If the problem has been corrected, the
zone descriptor(s) and FAULT should disappear from the display. If not,
key an OFF sequence (security code plus OFF) to clear the display. A fault
condition can also indicate a wiring problem. If the "FAULT" display
persists, notify your service company. Note that the system will not allow
arming if a fault condition exists. To arm the system with a fault condition
present, you must first bypass the zone(s) having the fault condition.

portion of your system or a problem with the phone line existed when
