SilentCall SK2-SS Sidekick II Signature Series, Manual

10

Each Smoke Detector or Fire alarm transmitter must be assigned an address different from all other 
transmitters. For example, if two smoke detectors and one fire alarm transmitters are being used, they 
may be assigned address #1 (1 OFF and 2, 3, 4, 5 ON); address #2 (1 ON, 2 OFF, 3, 4, 5 ON); address 
#3 (1, 2 ON, 3 OFF, 4, 5 ON).

Once programmed for the Smoke Detectors and Fire alarm transmitters, the receiver automatically as-
signs each transmitter a location on one of the three RED LED’s located on the Front Panel, right side. 
The red LED located furthest left of the three is assigned the first Smoke Detector or Fire alarm program. 
The second Red LED, the second Smoke Detector or Fire alarm programmed and the third Red LED, the 
third Smoke Detector or Fire alarm programmed. Once installed and operating correctly, the transmit-
ters can be identified by location. For Example, a smoke alarm on LED # 1 may represent the bedroom, 
a smoke alarm on LED # 2 may be located in the basement and a smoke alarm on the LED # 3 may be 
located in the garage.

Low battery notification:

The Silent Call Signature Series Transmitters, operates on two AA batteries and has a built in low battery 
sensor. The transmitters will send out a special low battery signal whenever the low battery condition 
exists.

When the Sidekick II Signature Series Receiver detects the signal it will display the condition by turn-
ing on the units ALARM LED and displaying the ALARM ICON along with the CHK ICON. For 
example, a smoke detector battery is low. The smoke detector or fire alarm transmitter sends a signal to 
the Sidekick II Signature Series Receiver about its battery condition. The receiver will display the FIRE 
ICON, the CHK ICON, and turn on the FIRE LED. The unit will not turn on the Strobe or Vibrator. The 
display will continue to show the low battery condition until the problem is resolved. Once resolved, the 
transmitter will no longer send the low battery alarm.
