Troubleshooting

•   Check that the console’s slide switch is 

set to 

RUN.

•   Check that the battery indicator on the 

Pendant Remote turns on when you 
press 

CALL

. Replace the battery and 

reinstall the Remote if necessary.

The Console’s alarm does not trip when 
you press CALL on the pendant.

SOLUTION

PROBLEM

The battery indicator on the Console is on.

Replace the console’s battery. A 9V 
alkaline battery provides approximately 20 
hours of backup. Replace battery at least 
once a year.

If you lose your Pendant Remote.

Reinstall your complete system to prevent 
someone else from using the lost remote 
control.

The system trips by itself.

A neighbor may have a compatible 
system. Reinstall the complete system so 
that it chooses different RF codes.

The Console does not dial out when you 
press CALL on the Pendant Remote.

•  Check that you have programmed 

in emergency phone numbers. See 
“Setting Up the Console.”

•  Make sure the Console is connected to 

the phone line, and that the phone line 
is a dial-tone line.

•  Make sure the Pendant Remote’s 

battery is good.

•  Make sure the Console has power and 

the backup battery is good.

Troubleshooting

The Console appears to be “locked up.”

•  If the RECORD light is on, you may 

have just switched the Console from 
INSTALL to RUN. The Console then 
plays back the message. Wait 15 
seconds and the RECORD light will go 
out. 

•  If the RECORD light is not on, but 

the Console appears to be locked 
up, you might have just triggered the 
system. When the Console dials out 
and someone answers the phone and 
presses any key, the Console is put into 
the listen mode for 75 seconds. If you 
immediately call the person back, or 
they call you, your phone will be busy. 
Wait for 75 seconds: the Console will 
be operational again and the phone line 
will be free.
