Thanku for your illustrations.Got it apart quick as,and replacement battery on the way.Ken
Sometimes the system will need reprogramming after a battery change, especially if the old battery was not holding a charge. Plugging in the 17VAC charger may have drained power on a super-capacitor that was supplying power to the memory chip. This will be more evident if none of the remotes (hand fobs) or sensors are no longer communicating with the main unit. Contact me at [email protected] to get further instructions.
brilliant! thanks a lot

First you have to open the front cover. There is a tab at the top of the unit you press in and the front cover opens. Then at the top of the face near the middle you will see a place you can insert a small flat tip screwdriver and press lightly to open the second cover. This will open the area for the back up battery and you can just take it out and get replaced. I would advise the monitoring company that you are going to do so in case they have a tamper alert or trouble alert from opening the second cover and batter. When you first open the front cover you might need to enter your user code to silence the beeps using the red numbered keys on the face plate.

power down the system by unplugging the transformer and the battery. power it back up by battery first followed by the transformer.

locally if you have a battery plus store they carry alot of differnt batteries, or the alarm co. that installed it, or online you can find them, and worse case is locating the manufacturer is trying to get from them.
