REPLACING THE CONSOLE'S BATTERY

The console's backup battery allows the system to work during a power
outage.  A 9-volt alkaline battery provides at least 12 hours of backup.
The BATTERY LOW indicator on the console lights when you need to replace
the backup battery, but you should replace the battery at least once a
year.

If you unplug the console when you replace the battery, the console loses
all memory of the installed wireless sensor transmitters, motion detectors
and remote controls, and voice message and stored numbers.  You must then
set the INSTALL/RUN 1/RUN 2 switch on the console to INSTALL, re-record
your emergency numbers, and then re-install all the wireless sensor
transmitters, motion detectors and remote controls.  To avoid this, replace
the battery without unplugging the console.  You do not lose any stored
codes and do not have to re-install your system.

REPLACING A REMOTE'S BATTERIES

If the console does not respond to a remote control's signal, replace the
batteries in the remote control's battery compartment, according to the
polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside the compartment.

After you replace the remote control's batteries, re-initialize the remote
control as described in "Initializing the Keychain Remote Control" or
"Initializing the Handheld Remote Control."

NOTE:  When you press a button on the keychain remote, its BATTERY
       indicator lights to show the battery is good.

After replacing batteries, follow these steps to confirm that the console
still recognizes the remote control.

1.  Set INSTALL/RUN 1/RUN 2 on the console to RUN 2.

2.  Press ARM on the remote control.

If the system arms, the console recognized the remote control.

If the system did not arm:

1.  Set INSTALL/RUN 1/RUN 2 to INSTALL.

2.  Press ARM on the remote control.  The remote control transmits a random
    code to the console.  The console acknowledges this with a chime and
    logs in the remote control.  If you do not hear a chime, press CODE
    with a pencil and then press ARM.

REPLACING A WIRELESS SENSOR TRANSMITTER'S BATTERIES

If any of the console's zone indicators flash slowly, the wireless sensor
transmitter or motion detector for that zone has not reported in during
the last 4 hours.  This is most likely caused by a dead battery in the
wireless sensor transmitter or motion detector.

Replace the wireless sensor transmitter or motion detector's battery, and
then follow these steps to confirm that the console still recognizes it.

1.  Set INSTALL/RUN 1/RUN 2 on the console to RUN 2.

2.  Press TEST on the sensor or motion detector.

If the console chimes, it recognizes the sensor or motion detector.

If you do not hear a chime when your press TEST:

1.  Set INSTALL/RUN 1/RUN 2 on the console to install.

2.  Press TEST.  The wireless sensor transmitter transmits a code to the
    console, and the console chimes to confirm it accepted the code. 

The wireless sensor transmitter normally is assigned to the same zone
number as before you replaced the battery.  However, if you replaced the
battery in the wireless sensor transmitter when its zone light was not
flashing (low battery indicator), the wireless sensor transmitter is
assigned to the next available zone.

To avoid this, remove the sensor's old battery and wait at least 4 hours 
before installing the new one.  This ensures that the sensor is assigned to
its original zone number.
