Operating principle
Button is a wireless panic button that, when pressed, transmits an alarm to
users, as well as to the security company’s CMS. In Control mode, Button allows
you to control Ajax automation devices with a short or long press of a button.
In panic mode, the Button can act as a panic button and signal about a threat, or
inform about an intrusion, as well as a fire, gas or medical alarm. You can
choose the type of alarm in the button settings. The text of alarm notifications
depends on the selected type, as well as the event codes transmitted to the
central monitoring station of the security company (CMS).
You can bind the action of an automation device ( , or ) to a
button press in the Button — Scenarios menu.
The Button is equipped with protection against accidental press and transmits
alarms at a distance of up to 1,300 m from the hub. Please be aware that the
presence of any obstructions that impede the signal (for example, walls or
floors) will reduce this distance.

Maintenance
When cleaning the key fob body, use cleaners that are suitable for technical
maintenance.
Never use substances containing alcohol, acetone, gasoline and other active
solvents to clean the Button.
The pre-installed battery provides up to 5 years of key fob operation in normal
use (one press per day). More frequent use may reduce battery life. You can
check battery level at any time in the Ajax app.
The pre-installed battery is sensitive to low temperatures and if the key fob is
cooled significantly, the battery level indicator in the app may show incorrect
values until the key fob becomes warmer.
The battery level value is not updated on a regular basis, but only updates after
pressing the button.
When the battery has run down, the user will receive a notification in the Ajax
app, and the LED will steadily light up red and go out each time the button is
pressed.
