Standard Remote Configuration

This system needs no specific maintenance beyond remote

control battery replacement. The remote is powered by a 1.5V

AAA battery.

The Battery Level indicator has four level indicators that serve as

a visual indication of battery charge. When the battery reaches a

low charge level that requires replacement, the remote control

will generate a single notification chirp, and the Battery Level

indicator will flash continuously.

Battery Replacement

Gently pull the end of the battery door away from the top of the

remote control then slide the door up to expose the battery and

remove the expired battery. Place the new battery into the remote

control observing the correct polarity. When power is returned

the remote control will light all icons in the LCD and generate all

beeper tones once.

The remote control buttons are used to send commands to the

system. The descriptions below reflect the standard configuration

for this system. The buttons can be custom configured for the

user’s specific needs by the installer.
