Replacing Wireless Devices
Batteries
The wireless sensors supplied with your system are
powered by high-capacity lithium batteries that last
several years, depending on the number of times the
sensor is triggered into transmission.
However, if and when a battery becomes weak, the
sensor itself sends a “low battery” message to the
control panel, and a low battery trouble message is
displayed together with the zone information (see
Chapter 5 - Reviewing Trouble Information).
The keyfob transmitters used to control the system
are powered by an alkaline battery that lasts about
one year if you do not press a button more than 10
times a day. Battery exhaustion is clearly evident by
flashing of the transmitter’s red indicator while the
button is pressed (instead of lighting steadily).
When a low battery indication appears for the first
time, it may be considered as a pre-warning. It
normally gives you ample time (about 30 days) to
obtain a new battery and replace the old one, and
the detector or keyfob unit will be fully operational
throughout this period. However, to be on the safe
side, it is advisable not to wait that long.
Use the battery specified in the detector’s own
installation instructions. If you do not have the
instructions, seek the advice of your installer or ask
him to replace the battery in the specific device that
sent the low battery message.

"common area".
Each user code can be assigned to a combination
of up to 3 partitions and each partition can be
armed or disarmed regardless of the status of the
other partitions within the system. For example, you
can define the garage as partition 1, the basement
as partition 2, and the house as partition 3. Since
each partition is independent of other partitions,
you can arm or disarm each partition as desired
without altering the states of the other partitions.
