SYSTEM FUNCTIONS

Maintaining your system

The components of your security system are designed to be as maintenance-free as possible. To make sure that
your system is in working condition, do the following:
1. Test your system weekly (see the TESTING THE SYSTEM section).
2. Test your system after any alarm occurs (see the TESTING THE SYSTEM section).
3. Clean the touch screen weekly.
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 touch screen and all protective sensors, particularly on motion sensors
and smoke detectors.
• The touch screen and sensors should be cleaned carefully with a dry soft cloth. Do not spray water or any
other fluid on the units.

Low Battery Conditions in Wireless Sensors
Each wireless sensor in your system has an internal battery. The system detects low battery conditions in
wireless sensors, including smoke detectors, personal emergency transmitter, and the portable wireless keypad,
and displays a "Battery Low" message on the touch screen, which also beeps. A low battery in a wireless keypad
is detected as soon as one of its keys is pressed. In addition, a wireless smoke detector with a low battery also
emits a "chirp" sound approximately once every 20–30 seconds, identifying itself as the smoke detector with the
weak battery.
NOTE: A low battery message means that battery replacement in the indicated sensor(s) is due within 30 days. In the meantime,
a sensor with a low battery is still operational.
To silence Low Battery Warning Tones, enter an Off sequence. The low battery message display will remain on
as a reminder. When you replace the weak battery with a fresh one, the sensor will send a "good battery" signal
to the control when the sensor is activated (opening/closing of door, window, etc.). To clear the "Low Battery"
message, enter an Off sequence.
1. With the system in the disarmed or armed state, select the
"Settings" icon from the second page of the Security Screen.
