      If the LED light is flashing amber and there is no audible signal, this indicates a Power Failure alarm. You can reset the audible and display alarms by pressing the “ON/OFF” button for approximately one second. Keep in mind that this alarm is normal upon initial installation because the unit was run at the factory to verify quality, and the alarm will resume if the alarm condition still exists.
