[. . . ] After all protection points have been checked and restored, there should be no zone identification numbers displayed. If a problem is experienced with any protection point (no confirming sounds, no display), CALL FOR SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. Turn off the Test mode by entering the security code and pressing the OFF key. PAGING FEATURE If the paging feature has been programmed for your system, your pager will respond to certain conditions as they occur in your system by displaying a 10-digit code that will indicate the type of condition that has occurred. The 10-digit code will use the following format: SSSS­EEE­NNN SSSS will be your particular 4-digit subscriber No. (this same 4-digit number will always appear at the beginning of the display on your pager). EEE will be a 3-digit number that describes the event that has occurred in your system (see explanation below). NNN will be a 3-digit User or zone number, depending on the type of event that has occurred. The 3-digit Event Codes (EEE) that can be displayed are: 911 = Alarm (NNN that follows this code will be the zone number that has caused the alarm) 001 = Open, System disarmed (NNN that follows this code will be the User number) 002 = Close, System armed (NNN that follows this code will be the User number) 811 = Trouble (NNN that follows this code will be the zone number that has caused the trouble) Example 1. Pager displays: 1 2 34 ­ 9 11­ 004 This indicates that your system (Subscriber No. 1234) is reporting an Alarm (911), due to zone 4 (004) being faulted. Pager displays: 1 2 34 ­ 001­ 005 This indicates that your system (Subscriber No. 1234) is reporting an open/disarming (001) by User 5 (005). ­ 25 ­ TROUBLE CONDITIONS "Check" and "Battery" Displays 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. A display of "CHECK" and one or more zone numbers indicates that a problem exists with the displayed zone(s) and requires your attention. If the CHECK display relates to a fire zone, CALL FOR SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. 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. If there are wireless sensors* in your system, the CHECK condition may also be caused by some change in the environment that prevents the receiver from hearing a particular sensor. CALL FOR SERVICE if this occurs. TYPICAL "CHECK" DISPLAYS * Not all systems use wireless sensors. IF YOU CANNOT CORRECT A "CHECK" DISPLAY, OR IF IT IS FOR A FIRE ZONE, CALL FOR SERVICE IMMEDIATELY.

Other Trouble Displays * Any "beeping" that accompanies a trouble display can be stopped by entering an OFF sequence (code + OFF) 1. COMM. FAILURE (or FC) Indicates that a failure has occurred in the telephone communication portion of your system. [. . . ] Longevity of batteries may be as much as 4 to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless de vice being used. External fac tors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature, may all reduce the actual battery life in a given installation. This wireless system, however, can identify a true low battery situation, thus allowing time to arrange a change of battery to maintain protection for that given point within the system. Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance. [. . . ]
