The batteries in the keypad will act as back up power in the event of a mains power failure.
The expected battery life for the Keypad is typically 12 months, based on arming and disarming the system 3 times a day and triggering an alarm once per month.
However if a substantial amount of programming/operation is performed using battery power, this will reduce the battery life.
It is advisable to use a micro USB adaptor to power the device during substantial programming, setup or operation. A typical 5V micro USB power adaptor such as a phone charger is compatible. Note: the connector is located inside the battery compartment.
- Enter Programming mode by pressing the Programme button followed by swiping a contactless tag or entering your PIN code. The keypad will play a melody to indicate success.

- Replace the battery cover and secure the Keypad on the wall bracket.
- Exit programming mode by pressing the Programme button again.
Note: If the Tamper alarm is triggered when refitting the Keypad to the wall, then press the 'Disarm' button followed by entering the PIN code or using a Contactless Tag to silence the alarm.
