The control panel includes a Lithium Polymer battery. Sensors are typically battery-powered. Monitor battery levels through the control panel or app. Replace batteries in sensors as needed to ensure continuous operation. Refer to individual sensor manuals for specific battery types and replacement procedures.
Troubleshooting
- System Not Responding: Check power connection and battery levels. Ensure the control panel is connected to a stable network (WiFi or 4G).
- Sensor Not Triggering: Verify the sensor is properly paired and within range of the control panel. Check the sensor's battery. Ensure the correct zone type is set for the sensor (e.g., 'Door Alarm' for door sensors).
- False Alarms: Adjust motion sensor sensitivity if necessary. Ensure door/window sensors are securely mounted and not easily dislodged.
- App Connectivity Issues: Ensure your smartphone has internet access and the Smart Life app is updated to the latest version. Restart the app and the control panel if issues persist.
- Siren Not Sounding: Check the siren's power connection and ensure it is paired correctly with the control panel. Verify the volume settings.
