How to fix the problem

“Registration 

Limit 

Exceeded”

“Device 

Type 

Not 

Recognized”

“Device 

Not 

Found”

“CGW 

Service 

Not 

Enabled”

This message will appear 

if a Cellular Gateway has 

already been added to this 

system.

The system will not allow a new 

Cellular Gateway to be added until 

the existing one is deleted.

Software currently loaded 

on your system is out of 

date and needs to be 

updated.

Wait 24 hours and then re-attempt 

to add the CGW to your system.  

This allows your system software 

to be automatically updated 

overnight.  You can also contact 

LifeShield Customer Support to 

request an immediate software 

update.

“SIM 

not 

active”

The CGW has been 

successfully added and 

registered, however the 

LifeShield Home Security 

System is not able to 

successfully activate 

the SIM.

Try to activate the SIM by 

following the steps described in 

the “Activating SIM card 

manually”.

This message appears 

when the LifeShield 

system is unable to make 

contact with a new device 

that’s being added.

Move the CGW to a different 

location and try again to add it.

The device has been 

successfully added and 

registered, however the 

SIM cannot be activated 

because the user account 

has not been set up for 

this service.

Contact LifeShield Customer 

Support for assistance if this 

problem occurs.

“SIM 

not 

detected”

The SIM card (located 

inside the Cellular 

Gateway battery 

compartment) is either 

defective or missing.

Check that the SIM is installed 

correctly (you may need to remove 

and reinsert it as shown in in the 

SIM Installation section of this 

device guide. Then follow the 

steps described in the “Activating 

SIM manually”.

“SIM 

activation 

aborted.  

No Internet”

The SIM activation process 

was stopped because the 

Internet connection to the 

LifeShield system has been 

lost.

Once the Internet connection 

problem is resolved, follow the 

steps described in the “Activating 

SIM manually”.

“Low 

CGW 

signal” 

The CGW has been 

successfully added and 

registered, however the 

wireless signal is very low.

First move the CGW to a location that 

is on a higher floor and is closer to the 

outside walls of the home (closer to 

the external cellular wireless network).
