If the signal is lost between the sensor and the Main Console, or
if the battery in the sensor is low, the zone LED light will
start blinking fast.

Take the following steps to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check if the sensor is located where it should be, and whether
there is any physical damage to the sensor.

2. If the failed sensor is not physically damaged, try to activate the
sensor and see if the Main Console reacts to the activation.

3. If not, try to remove the sensor from its location, and bring it
closer to Main Console and then activate the sensor. It is possible
that the sensor is installed too far from the Main Console and it
cannot establish a steady communication with the Main Console.
If this is the case, please install the sensor closer to the
Main Console.

4. Replace the battery of the sensor in that zone if the Main Console
does not respond even when the sensor is near the Main Console.

NOTE: If you have multiple sensors in a zone, you may test the function
of each sensor to identify which sensor is having a problem.

1. Slide the switch at the back of the Main Console to enable Chime
or Alert Mode.

15. Alert Notication

The motion sensor can be mounted with a double

sided tape or screws in a corner, straight wall, ceiling or

stand freely by itself.

Repeat the above steps to change between 2 operation modes.

- You must program the sensor or keypad to zone 1 of the main
unit before they can work together.

- Ensure to input the correct password on the Keypad.

- Ensure to input the correct password if enable the password
feature in keychain remote.

The Main Console does not respond to the sensor, keychain remote
or Keypad Control?

- You must erase all the sensors/remotes in that zone and then
program the remote you want to keep.

Can I erase just one sensor or remote from a zone?

- You need to test each remote/keypad/sensor individually.

I have multiple remotes in a zone and the zone LED keep flashing
that is a remote failure, how do I know which sensor/remote
is having the problem?

- It is recommended to power up the control panel with AC adapter.
Install batteries to the Control Panel so it can continue to operate
during power failure.

Can I only use battery to power up the Control Panel?

- When the backlit is dimmer and if you have to enter the Pin
multiple times to arm/disarm the system, it is time to replace
the battery.

When do I need to change the battery on the Keypad?

- Please contact Skylink customer support.

I forget the password on the Keypad, how can I reset it?
