Assigning a Wireless Keypad to a Device Location
The Control Center is designed to store up to four
remote transmitters, such as the Wireless Keypad. In
order to ensure that the Wireless Keypad will operate
only with your Control Center, it must be assigned to
one of the four device locations on the Control Center.
Step 1. Press and hold the Learn button on the Control
Center. You will hear a short beep, followed shortly by a
long continuous beep. Release the Learn button.

Step 3. Press the red Panic button on the wireless
keypad. The Control Center will sound a long beep and
the LED will stop flashing. This confirms the Wireless
Keypad has been assigned to the selected device
number.
Programming Security Codes into the Wireless Keypad
The Wireless Keypad operates independently from
the Control Center. The Wireless Keypad can store
up to three different security user codes into its
memory – the Master Code and two alternate User
codes. The Master Code (1) has been set to 1-2-3-4. It
is recommended to change the Master Code to a new
personal 4-digit number. The Master Code is also used
to set/change either of the alternate User codes, so it
is important to remember the Master code. Alternate
User codes can be set to provide access for different
individuals outside of the immediate occupants,
such as a ‘vacation’ code used to temporarily allow
someone access to the house while you are away.
Changing the Master code or alternate User code
Step 1. Press and release the Green button (disarm
button). Enter Current Master code. Press and release
the Green button. The LED will remain on during the
programming progress.
NOTE: After placing the wireless keypad into the
programming mode, you have approx 30 seconds to
enter a selection at each step or the LED will flash 3
times and turn off. If it does, it means you timed out of
the programming mode and must start over.

Step 2. Enter a number (1, 2, or 3) for the User code
you would like to change (1=Master code, 2= User 2
code, 3 = User 3 code).
Step 3. Press and release the Green button.
Step 4. Enter the new 4-digit code. Press and release
the Green button.
Step 5. Re-enter new 4-digit code again. Press and
release the Green button.
The LED will flash 5 times and turn off indicating the
code for that User code has been stored/changed.
Example: To set User 2 code to 2222
Press and release the Green button
(The LED will turn on)
Enter 1,2,3,4 (Wireless keypad is now in Program Mode)
Press and release the green button
Enter 2
Press and release the green button
Enter 2,2,2,2
Press and release the green button
Re-enter 2,2,2,2
Press and release the green button (red LED will flash 5
times and turn off)
In this example, User 2 code has been set as 2222.
Erasing Alternate User Codes
Alternate user codes can be removed completely from
the memory if necessary. Note: the Master Code (1)
cannot be erased, only changed.

Step 2. Enter a number (2, or 3) for the code you
would like to erase (2= User 2 code, 3 = User 3 code).
Press and release the Green button three times.
The LED will flash 5 times and turn off indicating the
code for that number has been erased.
Placement of the Wireless Keypad.
The Wireless Keypad is designed to be mounted inside
onto a wall, or it can lay on a flat surface (such as a
night stand). If mounting to a wall, use the double-
sided tape strips or the screws/wall anchors (both
included).
Note (1): Do not mount in an exterior location; the
Wireless Keypad is not weather resistant.
Note (2): The Wireless Keypad can transmit up to
150ft. However like all wireless devices, this distance
is subject to conditions of the home. The number of
walls and appliances between the Wireless Keypad
and the location of the Control Center can reduce
the signal transmission distance. When selecting a
placement, test the Wireless Keypad at the location
before mounting. Using a signal repeater can extend
the transmission distance.

access. Be sure to test the device before mounting.
Clean both surfaces with 50/50 mix of isopropyl
alcohol and water. Using the provided double sided
tape strips, peel one side and firmly apply to the
indented areas on the back of the mounting plate.
Peel the remaining side of the double sided tape and
lightly mount to the wall. Once you are confident with
the placement, press firmly to secure to the wall.
Mounting the Wireless Keypad onto a Wall (using
screws/wall anchors) – you will need a drill, 3/16” or
1/8” drill bit and screwdriver.

situation you will only be able to replace the remote
transmitter with another.
Low Battery Indication
The Wireless Keypad has a low battery notification
circuit. When the battery reaches a low level, the LED
on the Wireless Keypad will begin to flash slowly. It will
continue to flash until battery is replaced or becomes
exhausted.
Replacing the Battery
Note: The Choice Alert system is ‘range dependent’,
which means a Wireless Keypad located closer to the

14
15
Control Center may seem to have batteries that last
longer than a Wireless Keypad located farther away.
As battery power reduces, the transmission distance
reduces.
Step 1. Remove the top cover (see Removing the Top
cover from the Mounting Plate). Slide the battery
out from the battery slot. You may need to use small
screwdriver or paper clip to push battery from the
back.
Step 2. Replace the old battery with a new “2032” (3v)
battery. Be sure to battery polarity matches.

Wireless Keypad Remote F.A.Q.’S
Q. I bought a Wireless Keypad and the Control Center will not
recognize it. Why?
A. First, make sure that the battery is new and has been
correctly installed, paying attention to polarity symbols
(“+”, “-”). Confirm that the Wireless Keypad has been
correctly assigned to a Device.
Q. If I assign the Wireless Keypad to Zone 4, will it still arm
and disarm the alarm system?
A. Yes. When assigning the Wireless Keypad (or other remote
transmitters), it is being assigned to a device number, not
a zone. You can assign up to 4 different remote access
devices; only one keypad can be assigned to a device
number.
Q. I’ve tried several times to erase a wireless keypad from
the device number memory but it still remains - What can
I do?
A. If you are unable to completely erase a keypad from
the device number memory, you may have an early
production Control Center. Early production versions only
allowed for replacement. Contact Tech Support at
800-654-8483 for any questions.
