How to fix Radio Shack 49-2551A motion detector false alarms?
To prevent false alarms with your Radio Shack Security System's motion detector: * Do not place the motion detector near an air conditioning or heating vent. * Avoid placing it in direct sunlight. * If it's detecting pets, place the detector at a height of 6 feet, or set the switch on the back to 2 so it is less sensitive.
What to do if Radio Shack 49-2551A zone indicator flashes slowly?
If a zone indicator on your Radio Shack Security System is flashing slowly, it means one of the sensors or motion detectors hasn't reported in during the past 4 hours. Check the battery in the sensor or motion detector and replace it if needed, or bypass the zone.
What does ARMED flashing mean on Radio Shack 49-2551A?
If 'ARMED' is flashing on your Radio Shack Security System, it indicates that there has been an intrusion. If a zone indicator is also on, it shows which zone was violated. To stop the flashing and turn off the zone indicator, press the LIGHT ON or OFF button on a remote control. If no zone indicator is on, the violated zone is within zones 9-16; press BYPASS on the console to see which zone was tripped.
What to do if Radio Shack 49-2551A Security System zone indicator flashes rapidly?
A zone indicator flashes rapidly on your Radio Shack Security System if you pressed BYPASS on the console to arm the system while a sensor or motion detector was reporting a problem. Correct the problem; the zone arms automatically when the problem is corrected.
Why Radio Shack Security System doesn't trip alarm when opening door?
If your Radio Shack Security System doesn't trip the alarm when you open a door or window, check to see if the system is armed. Also, be sure INSTALL/RUN 1/RUN 2 on the console is set to RUN1 or RUN 2. Press TEST on the wireless sensor transmitter and see if the alarm trips. If the alarm does not trip, see if the sensor indicator comes on when you press TEST. If the indicator does not come on, replace the battery and re-initialize the sensor, if necessary.
What does BATTERY LOW mean on Radio Shack 49-2551A?
If 'BATTERY LOW' is displayed on your Radio Shack Security System console, install or replace the console’s battery.

How to fix Radio Shack 49-2551A when lights won't turn on/off using remote?
If you cannot turn lights on or off using the LIGHT ON or LIGHT OFF buttons on the remote of your Radio Shack Security System: * Make sure you set the house and unit code on the module(s) to the same letter and number as the console. * If you have more than one console, ensure that you set both to the same house and unit code. * Be sure the light you are trying to control is plugged in and has its on/off switch in the on position, and that its bulb is good. * Plug the module into another outlet on the same electrical circuit as the console. * Check that the battery indicator on the remote control comes on when you press a button. Replace the battery and re-initialize the remote control, if necessary.
