USER GUIDE
About 5804BD
5804BD is a four-button remote control for your alarm system. 5804BD can send a command to the alarm system,
such as to arm or disarm, as well as receive system status. Two LEDs and a speaker are used to indicate system
status. 5804BD is typically used for arming, disarming, and controlling devices. Check with your installer to
understand which functions the buttons have been assigned on your unit.
Operating the Buttons
Activating a Button
To activate a function, press and hold the appropriate button down until the yellow LED flashes (2 beeps will be
heard), and then release it.
NOTE: Transmission will not be successful if the key is not within range of the system’s receiver. If 5804BD does
not receive system status from the panel for approximately five seconds, it will generate a long (one second) beep.
Requesting System Status
You can check system status before arming or disarming your system.
Check the system status by momentarily pressing and releasing any button. The yellow LED will flash after you
release the button (one beep will be heard). After a second or two, the device will display the system status
through the LEDs and speaker (see the System Status Indications Table, below). If 5804BD does not receive
system status from the panel for approximately five seconds, it will generate a long (one second) beep and shut
itself down. It will also shut itself down if you do not press a button within five seconds of receiving a status update.

Multiple Button Operations
The 5804BD can generate the same responses as
keypad key pairs of [*] + [#] and [*] + [1] by
depressing “A” + “C” and “B” + “D”
button pairs,
respectively.
You must depress the button pair for
at least 2 seconds for the 5804BD to reco
gnize the
button pair command. These button pairs
allow you
to activate additional keypad functions
depending
on control panel programming. Check with
your
installer to understand which functions the buttons
have been assigned on your unit.

Failure of Replaceable Batteries
This wireless key has been designed to provide several years of battery life under normal conditions. The
expected battery life is a function of the device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions such as high
humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature fluctuations may reduce the expected battery life.
This device will report a low battery condition to the control panel as a trouble condition, when the batteries need to
be replaced. In addition the yellow LED will not flash when a button is pressed. However, if the device is unused
for a long period of time, it may fail to operate as expected. Regular testing and maintenance will keep the system
in good operating condition for the lifetime of the product.
Low Battery Indication
When the unit goes into a Low Battery condition, the yellow LED will not flash when a button is pressed. Change
both batteries immediately.
To Replace the Batteries
Removing or Inserting the Unit from a Belt Clip
LIMITATIONS STATEMENT
Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal objects before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if the
signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object somehow blocks the signal path.
Wireless button type transmitters that have visual and audible indications of status must be used to confirm that the desired action
(such as arming) has occurred after pressing a function button on any of these transmitters. Be sure to listen for appropriate
audible and visual indications that such action has occurred. Otherwise, you could inadvertently leave yourself or your premises
unprotected.
External factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, or constant activation of a programmed button may reduce battery life
in a given installation. If the button unit is used infrequently, activate it regularly (once per week) to confirm operation. A button type
transmitter will report a low battery condition to the alarm control when a low battery status is detected.
