The Action Button
To use your REM101 to arm your system, or activate a PGM or panic alarm, press and hold the
action button for one second until the LED flashes. The LED emits rapid flashes during a four-
second period, confirming your action.
Testing the Battery
To test the battery strength, press and hold the Test button for two seconds. One of the following
two scenarios will occur:
• The LED illuminates for three seconds. This indicates that the battery is charged and does not
need to be replaced.
• The LED emits seven slow flashes. This indicates that the battery strength is low and the battery
should be replaced. Refer to Replacing the Battery for details.
NOTE: Ensure that the battery is properly installed when testing its strength. A “Low Battery
Signal” is sent to the control panel when battery is below 2.3Vdc. Upon power-up, a “Low Battery
Restore Signal” is sent to the control panel when the battery voltage level has reached 2.3Vdc or
higher.
Replacing the Battery
Replace the battery as follows:
1. Using a suitably-sized straight edge (e.g., screwdriver),
turn the battery cover in the counterclockwise direction,
until the unlocked marking on the cover ( ) is aligned
with the arrow marking () on the remote’s rear casing.
2. Pry the battery from its cover and replace with the same
or equivalent type (3V CR2032). Make sure to observe
the correct polarity when replacing the battery.
3. Secure the battery cover in place by turning it in the
clockwise direction, until the locked marking on the
cover ( ) is aligned with the arrow marking () on the remote’s rear casing.
WARNING: When replacing the battery, use only the same or equivalent type of battery
recommended by the manufacturer. Danger of explosion exists if the wrong lithium battery
is used, or if it’s replaced incorrectly. In addition, recycle or dispose of used batteries in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
LED Feedback
When pressing the action button:
The LED emits rapid, action-confirming flashes during a four-second period, regardless of whether
the REM101 is programmed to arm your system, or activate a PGM or panic alarm.
When pressing the Test button:
• The LED illuminates for three seconds when the battery is charged.
• The LED emits seven slow flashes when the battery strength is low. Refer to Replacing the
Battery for instructions on how to replace the battery.
Programming the REM101
