What to do if Radio Shack 49-2551A alarm trips when I enter the house?
If the alarm trips when you enter the house before you have time to disarm it, arm the system in the delay mode. Set the DELAY switch on the entry door sensor to MAX. Set the ENTRY switch on the handheld remote control to DELAY, and then press ARM HOME or ARM AWAY on the handheld remote control.
What to do if Radio Shack 49-2551A Security System sensor red light stays on?
If the red light on the sensor or motion detector of your Radio Shack Security System stays on during installation, press CODE, then press TEST on the sensor/motion detector. If it still stays on, remove the battery, wait a few seconds, and then replace the battery. Press CODE, then press TEST again.
What to do if Radio Shack 49-2551A Security System remote control red light stays on?
If the red light on the handheld remote control of your Radio Shack Security System stays on during installation, press the button located beneath the label with a pencil and then press ARM. If it still stays on, remove the battery, wait a few seconds, then replace the battery. Press the button and then ARM again.
Why Radio Shack 49-2551A does not arm?
If your Radio Shack Security System does not arm, check that INSTALL/RUN 1/RUN 2 on the console is in the RUN 1 or RUN 2 position. If you're using a remote, ensure the battery indicator turns on when you press ARM. Replace the battery and re-initialize the remote if needed.
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.
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 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.
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.
Why does Radio Shack 49-2551A arm or disarm by itself?
The Radio Shack Security System might arm or disarm by itself if a neighbor has a compatible system. To resolve this, re-install the system using a different house code.
