Radio Status Test
If the LTE (Cellular) Radio Module is installed in the Control
Panel, use the Radio Status screen to view signal strength,
serial number, registraon status, and other informaon for
the cellular connecon. The is a helpful tool to use when
troubleshoong the installaon.

3. Walk to the rst sensor in the list, and then acvate that
sensor to test it.
When the panel receives the signal, it emits (3) beeps
and then GREEN or RED bars show the signal strength.
The greater the number of bars, the higher the strength.
If the signal is sucient, a check mark appears. If
insucient, an “x” appears.

4. Repeat the test for each sensor in the list. If you are
tesng a sensor with mulple loops, (for example, a
Smoke/Heat/Freeze alarm), wait 15 seconds between
each loop’s test.

OK. Then at the Sensors Test Failed screen, tap OK.

review the messages:
• RED text indicates the tested signal strength is zero,
too low, or that the LTE (Cellular) Radio Module is
unregistered.
• ORANGE text indicates the connecon is idle and the
LTE (Cellular) Radio Module is registered.
• GREEN text indicates good signal strength and that the
LTE (Cellular) Radio Module is registered.
4. When the results are successful, tap OK to return to the
Toolbox (3 of 3) screen.
6. When the console tests are complete, tap OK. When the
test is successfully completed, tap OK to exit Walk Test
mode. The system sends a “Stop Test” report to the Central
