7. Maintenance
7.1 Battery Replacement
- Sensors: The door/window contact sensors and PIR motion detectors are powered by CR2032 batteries, which typically last up to 2 years. When a sensor's battery is low, the system will notify you via the app or panel. To replace, open the sensor casing, remove the old battery, and insert a new CR2032 battery, observing polarity.
- Main Unit: The main unit has a built-in rechargeable lithium-polymer battery that provides backup power during outages. If the main unit's battery needs replacement, it is recommended to contact customer support.
7.2 Cleaning
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your alarm system, regularly wipe the surfaces of the main unit and sensors with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Panel not powering on | Power adapter not connected; ON/OFF switch is off. | Ensure power adapter is securely connected and plugged in. Flip the ON/OFF switch to 'ON'. |
| Sensors not triggering alarm | Low battery; sensor out of range; improper installation. | Replace sensor battery. Relocate sensor closer to the main unit. Re-install sensor ensuring proper alignment (for door/window) or clear line of sight (for motion). |
| No app notifications | No internet connection (WiFi/4G); app permissions not granted; incorrect app settings. | Check WiFi and 4G signal strength. Ensure app has notification permissions. Verify notification settings within the app. |
| False alarms | Improper sensor placement; environmental factors (pets, drafts). | Adjust sensor sensitivity or relocate. Ensure motion sensors are not facing windows or heat sources. |
| Cannot connect to WiFi | Incorrect WiFi password; 5GHz network (system supports 2.4GHz only); weak signal. | Double-check WiFi password. Ensure you are connecting to a 2.4GHz network. Move panel closer to router. |
