General Information
The word "CHECK" on the keypad's display, accompanied by a rapid beeping at the keypad,
indicates that there is a trouble condition in the system. The warning sound can be silenced
by pressing any key. Instruct users to call for service immediately upon seeing any of the
following messages.
"CHECK" and "BATTERY" Displays
• A display of "CHECK" and one or more zone numbers indicates that a problem

• A display of "CHECK" and "09" indicates that communication between the control and a

with no zone number indicates that the system's main standby battery is weak.

wireless sensor displayed (zone "00" indicates a wireless keypad). If the battery is not
replaced within 30 days, a "CHECK" display may occur.
