The word CHECK on the keypad's display, accompanied by a "beeping" at the keypad, indicates a
trouble condition in the system.
To silence the beeping for these conditions, press any key.
• "CHECK" and one or more zone numbers indicates that a problem exists with the displayed zone(s)
and requires your attention. Determine if the zone(s) displayed are intact and make them so if they
are not. If the problem has been corrected, the display can be cleared if you enter the OFF sequence
(security code plus OFF key) twice. If the display persists, CALL FOR SERVICE.
NOTE: CHECK 70 on Fixed-Word/Icon Display keypads indicates that the wiring connection
to the external sounder is faulted (opened or shorted), and you should CALL FOR SERVICE. See
"BELL FAILURE" on next page. A display of CHECK 90 indicates that RF interference may be
preventing the operation of wireless sensors* in the system. See "Rcvr Jam" on next page.
• If there are wireless sensors* in your system, the CHECK condition may also be caused by some
change in the environment that prevents the wireless receiver from receiving communication from a
particular sensor. CALL FOR SERVICE if this occurs.

portion of your system. CALL FOR SERVICE.
Indicates that a low system battery condition exists. Display is
accompanied by "beeping"* at the keypad. Depending on installer
programming, a system low battery may prevent arming, or you may
need to perform the arming sequence twice to override the condition
(see your installer). If this condition persists for more than one day
(with AC present), CALL FOR SERVICE.
If programmed, indicates a tamper fault condition (e.g. cover removed)
exists at the device shown.
Indicates that there is a low battery condition in the wireless
transmitter** number displayed (00 is RF keypad).
Accompanied by a single "beep" * (once every 40 seconds) at the keypad.
Either replace the battery yourself, or CALL FOR SERVICE. If the
battery is not replaced within 30 days, a CHECK display may occur
indicating that the transmitter is no longer operating.
Wireless part of the system is experiencing
RF interference which may prevent reception from wireless sensors.**
Indicates that the control is on-line with the Central
Monitoring Station's or your installer's remote computer.
The control will not operate while on-line. Wait a few minutes — the
display should disappear.
Indicates that the wiring connection to the external sounder
is at fault (open or shorted). Accompanied by "beeping" at the keypad.
CALL FOR SERVICE.
The system is only operating on battery power due to an AC power
failure. If only some lights are out on the premises, check circuit
breakers and fuses and reset or replace as necessary. Depending on
installer programming, an AC loss may prevent arming, or you may
need to perform the arming sequence twice to override the condition
(see your installer).
If AC power cannot be restored and a "low system battery" message
appears, CALL FOR SERVICE.
If this message remains displayed for more than 1 minute, system is
disabled. CALL FOR SERVICE.
The keypad is not receiving signals from the control. CALL FOR
SERVICE.
If installed, the back-up communications media portion of your
system has failed (e.g. internet, intranet networks, long range radio).
CALL FOR SERVICE.
The telephone line has a problem.
