Features  
General Information  
This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire, and emergency, depending on the  
configuration of your system. The system consists of a master keypad for controlling system operation,  
various wireless sensors that provide perimeter and interior burglary protection, and optional smoke or  
combustion detectors to provide early fire warning. In addition, optional wireless keypads may have been  
installed to allow you to control the system away from the master keypad. The system may also be  
controlled from a remote telephone and can be used as a speaker phone.  
The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all protection zones and system status, display  
appropriate information on the keypad display, and initiate appropriate alarms. Your system may also have  
been programmed to automatically send alarm or status messages over the phone lines to a central alarm  
monitoring station, and may also be capable of two-way voice communication with the central station.  
The user features of this security system are listed below. Ask your installer which features have been  
programmed for your system.  
STAY and AWAY arming modes: By using these modes you can protect either the perimeter only, or  
the entire premises.  
3 panic key functions: Designated keys allow you to manually activate fire, personal emergency, or  
silent alarms. Refer to the PANIC KEYS section for detailed information.  
Paging feature: Alerts you to certain system conditions by displaying code numbers that indicate the  
type of condition that has occurred. In addition, pressing the AUX key can send a predefined message to  
your pager, if programmed to do so (see AUX key function below). Refer to the PAGING FEATURE  
section for detailed information.  
Real-time clock: Keypad displays current time. Refer to the CLOCK/CALENDAR section for  
procedures for setting the time.  
Voice announcement of system status: The master keypad’s built-in speaker announces system status at  
the press of a key. Refer to the CHECKING SYSTEM STATUS section for detailed information.  
Message center: The system allows recording and play back of brief messages. Refer to the  
RECORDING/PLAYBACK MESSAGES section for procedures.  
Device activation: Designated keys allow you to turn lights and/or other devices on and off. In addition,  
some devices (e.g., a light) may be programmed to activate automatically as a result of a system event  
such as an alarm or trouble condition. Refer to the USING POWERLINE CARRIER DEVICE  
COMMANDS section for detailed information.  
AUX key function: Designated key lets you activate a predefined series of keystrokes with a single press  
of the AUX key plus user code, if programmed to do so (see Paging feature above). Refer to the AUX  
FUNCTION section for detailed information.  
Scheduling feature: Allows you to schedule the automatic activation or deactivation of X-10 devices or  
program events (e.g. alarm clock, reminder, and latch key).

Features  
Two-way voice: Allows the central station to listen, talk to or conduct two-way conversations with  
individuals on the premises Refer to the TWO-WAY VOICE section for detailed information.  
Phone Control: Provides a remote interactive phone capability that permits access to the security system  
from any off-site touch-tone telephone.  
Speaker Phone Operation: The system is capable of operating as a speaker phone allowing hands free  
telephone conversation.

General Operation  
Zones  
Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones." For example, the sensing device on  
your entry/exit door may have been assigned to zone 01, sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom  
to zone 02, and so on. These numbers appear on the display when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.  
ReadyGuard-REN is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications unless a 24-hour  
backup battery (P/N LYNXRCHKIT-HC) is installed.

/ꢀ  
Fire Protection  
The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always active and will sound an alarm if a  
fire condition is detected. Refer to the FIRE ALARM SYSTEM section for important information concerning  
fire protection, smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes from the premises.  
Burglary Protection  
Your system provides two modes of burglary protection: STAY and AWAY. STAY mode protects the  
perimeter only, allowing you to freely move within inside the premises. AWAY mode protects the entire  
system. Both modes provide an entry delay time that allows you to reenter the premises without setting off  
an alarm. For additional security, you can turn the entry delay off when arming the system by using the  
NO DELAY key in combination with the desired arming key. The system also allows you to bypass selected  
zones before arming the system, if desired. Refer to the BYPASSING PROTECTION ZONES section. The  
system also provides a CHIME mode, for alerting users to the opening of protected doors and windows  
while the system is disarmed.  
You must turn on ("arm") the burglary protection portion of your system before it will sense burglary  
alarms. To arm the system, enter your user code then press the desired arming key (AWAY or STAY).  
Refer to the ARMING THE SYSTEM section for detailed procedures and information.  
Security Codes  
At the time of installation, you were assigned a personal 4-digit security or “master user” code. You must  
enter the user code when arming and disarming the system, and when performing other system functions. As  
an additional security feature, other users who do not need to know your code can be assigned up to 6  
different security codes. Refer to the SECURITY CODES section for procedures on adding security codes to  
the system.  
Alarms  
When an alarm occurs, the keypad and external sounders will sound for about 15-seconds, and the keypad  
will display the zone(s) causing the alarm. After 15-seconds, the siren stops temporarily and voice  
– 5 –  
 
6<67(0ꢁ29(59,(:ꢁ  
General Operation  
announcements of the zones in alarm begins. When these zones have been announced, the siren sounds  
again and the cycle repeats itself, until the system is disarmed (code + OFF) or until alarm bell timeout  
occurs. If your system is connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm message will be sent. To stop  
the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system. The zone(s) causing the alarm remain displayed indicating  
memory of alarm. Refer to the DISARMING THE SYSTEM section for information about clearing the  
memory of alarm display  
Two-Way Voice Feature  
The ReadyGuard-REN supports voice dialog between an operator at the central station and an individual at  
the premises. This feature allows the central station to listen, talk to or conduct a two-way conversation with  
an individual(s) at the premises and allows the operator to gather information about the nature and location  
of the alarm that may be helpful in responding to fire, police or rescue departments. If the Two-way Voice  
Feature has been programmed and an alarm condition is detected the system sends an alarm message to the  
central station. After acknowledgement is received, a “listen in to follow” message is sent to the central  
station. By responding to this message the central station operator can enter commands that allow him to  
initiate a 5-minute voice session. The options allow the operator to enter the following modes:  
Talk: Allows the operator to speak to individuals at the premises through the system speaker.  
VOX (2-way voice): Allows the operator to hold a two-way (speak and listen) conversation with  
individuals at the premises.  
Listen: Allows the operator to listen to any activity at the premises through the system microphone.  
If a subsequent zone is violated during a voice session, the system will terminate the session and process the  
alarm. During the voice session, the ARMED (red) and READY (green) LEDs will alternately blink in the  
Talk and VOX Modes but not during Listen Mode.

the system announces “armed STAY–exit now.”  
When armed in STAY mode, the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or window is opened, but  
you may otherwise move freely throughout the premises. Late arrivals can enter through the entrance door  
without causing an alarm, but they must disarm the system within the entry delay period or an alarm will  
occur.  
Restarting Exit Delay While System Armed  
Ask your installer if this feature is active for your system. If active, you can restart the exit delay at any time  
after arming in STAY mode. This is useful if you wish to open the entry/exit door to let someone in after  
arming the system, and avoids having to disarm the system and then re-arm it again.

Entry/Exit Delays  
Exit Delay  
Exit delay begins immediately after arming the system, and gives you time to leave through the designated  
exit door without setting off an alarm. A slow beeping will sound throughout the exit delay period, if  
programmed.  
Exit Alarms  
Exit Alarm Active  
To minimize false alarms sent to the alarm monitoring company, your system may have been programmed  
for this feature. Ask your installer if Exit Alarm is active for your system.  
Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted when  
the exit delay ends (e.g., exit door left open), the system sounds an alarm and starts the entry delay timer. If  
you disarm the system before the entry delay ends, the alarm sound stops and the message "CA" is  
displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. No message is sent to the  
alarm monitoring company. To clear the exit alarm condition, the open zone must be made re-secured; to  
clear the display, enter your code plus OFF.  
If you do not disarm the system before the entry delay ends, and an entry/exit door or interior zone is still  
open, the alarm sound continues and an "exit alarm" message is sent to the alarm monitoring company. The  
message "EA" is displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. To stop  
the alarm, the system must be disarmed (your code plus OFF); to clear the display, enter your code plus  
OFF a second time. An exit alarm also results if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two  
minutes after the end of the exit delay.  
Entry Delay  
Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the designated entrance door.  
You must disarm the system before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The keypad beeps  
during the entry delay period, reminding you to disarm the system. There are two entry delays (if  
programmed). The first is for your primary entrance and the second can be used for a secondary entrance,  
where a longer delay is required to walk to the keypad to disarm the system.  
You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using the NO DELAY key when arming. This can  
provide greater security while on the premises or while away for extended periods of time. See ARMING  
THE SYSTEM section for procedure.

Disarming the System  
Use the OFF key to disarm the system and to silence alarm and trouble sounds. See the SUMMARY OF  
AUDIBLE NOTIFICATION section for information, which will help you to distinguish between fire and  
burglary alarm sounds.  
IMPORTANT: If you return and the main burglary sounder is on, DO NOT enter the premises, but call  
the police from a nearby safe location. If you return after an alarm has occurred and the main sounder has  
shut itself off, the keypad will beep rapidly upon entering. This indicates that an alarm has occurred during  
your absence and an intruder may still be on the premises. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT  
THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.  
To disarm the system and silence burglary alarms:  
+ OFF  
Your user code  
The READY indicator will light (if no alarms have occurred while armed) and the keypad will beep once to  
confirm that the system is disarmed.  
Memory of Alarm  
If an alarm occurs, the keypad displays the zone number (s) that caused the alarm and the type of alarm  
(e.g., “FIRE ALARM”). These messages remain displayed until cleared by a user.  
To clear the display, note the zone number displayed and enter an OFF sequence (enter your security code  
and press the OFF key).  
If the READY indicator is blinking, go to the displayed zone and correct the fault (close windows, etc.). If  
the fault cannot be corrected, notify your alarm company.

Bypassing Protection Zones  
Bypassing Individual Zones  
Use the BYPASS key when you want to arm your system with one or more zones intentionally unprotected.  
Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause an alarm when violated while your system is armed. All  
bypasses are removed when an OFF sequence (security code plus OFF) is performed. Bypasses are  
also removed if the arming procedure that follows the bypass command is not successful.  
The system will not allow fire zones to be bypassed.  
The system must be disarmed first.

Panic Keys / Chime Mode  
Panic Keys  
Your system may have been programmed to use special keys to manually activate panic functions. The  
functions that might be programmed are listed below. See your installer for the function(s) that may have  
been programmed for your system.  
Active Panic Functions

Your installer should  
note the functions that  
are active in your  
system.  
To use a paired key panic function, simply press both keys of the assigned pair at the same time. If your  
keypad has lettered keys for panic functions, press the designated key and hold down for at least 2 seconds  
to activate the panic function. Panic keys can also be activated by wireless devices such as the Ademco  
5827. Ask your installer about this feature.  
Types of Panic Alarms  
A silent emergency/silent alarm sends an alarm signal to the alarm monitoring company, but there will be  
no audible alarms or visual displays.  
An audible emergency/audible alarm sends an emergency message to the alarm monitoring company and  
sounds a loud, steady alarm at your keypad and at any external sounders that may be connected  
(“ALARM” plus a zone number are also displayed).  
A personal emergency/aux alarm sends an emergency message to the alarm monitoring company and  
sounds at keypads, but not at external sounders. (“ALARM” plus a zone number are also displayed).  
A supervised fire alarm sends a fire alarm message to the alarm monitoring company and uniquely  
activates keypad and any external sounders (“FIRE ALARM” plus a zone number are also displayed).  
† If your system is connected to an alarm monitoring company  
Chime Mode  
Your system can be set to alert you to the opening of a door or window, while it is disarmed, by using  
CHIME mode. When activated, three beeps will sound at the keypad whenever a protected perimeter door  
is opened and the zone voice descriptor will be announced. Pressing the STATUS key will display the open  
protection points.  
Note that the Chime mode can be turned on only when the system is disarmed.

Paging Feature  
Automatic Paging  
If the Paging feature has been programmed for your system, your pager will respond to certain conditions as  
they occur in your system by displaying a message that indicates the type of condition that has occurred.  
The message appears in a 7-digit format explained below. The system can also be programmed to send up  
to 16 additional digits that will appear in front of the 7-digit message. These 16 digits may consist of a PIN  
number or special digits needed by the pager, account number, pauses, or any other special characters you  
may choose (for example, you may want to use a special character code to distinguish between security  
system messages and usual pager messages). See your installer if these additional characters are desired.  
Code Format  
The Pager Code takes the following form: (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA) EEE-00NN  
AAA… = Optional 16 digits, programmed by your installer.  
EEE  
= 3-digit number describing the event that has occurred, as follows:  
911 = Alarm (00NN following indicates the zone that caused the alarm)  
101 = Open, system disarmed (00NN following indicates user number)  
102 = Close, system armed (00NN following indicates user number)  
811 = Trouble (00NN following indicates the zone that caused the trouble)  
00NN = First two digits are always 00, followed by 2-digit user or zone number, depending on  
the type of event that occurred. If NN = 00, it can mean an AC loss has occurred, the  
system battery is low, or a 5827 wireless keypad battery is low. The Master Keypad  
will indicate the specific condition.  
Examples:  
Pager displays: 911–0004  
This indicates your system is reporting an alarm (911) due to a fault on zone 4 (0004).  
Pager displays: 101–0005  
This indicates that your system is reporting an open/disarm (101) by user 5 (0005).  
Manual Paging  
In addition, your system may have been programmed to send a unique pager message when the AUX key is  
pressed (see AUX FUNCTION section for alternate function of this key). The actual message sent is 999-  
9999 (the hyphen may not appear, depending on your pager service). This code can be used to alert the  
person with the pager to whatever meaning you pre-arrange (e.g., “call home”). Ask your installer if this  
has been done for your system.  
To manually send the pager message, if programmed: AUX (hold until 4 beeps sound)

Speaker Phone Feature  
If this feature has been programmed the ReadyGuard-REN is capable of operating as a speaker phone.  
During speaker phone operation the system will provide the following functions:  
All function/event processing will continue to operate, but there will be no announcements.  
The ARMED (red) and READY (green) LEDs will alternately blink.  
“PH” will be displayed.  
NOTE: The system will enter the Speaker phone mode if an alarm or trouble is stored in the system memory. Although “PH” may  
not appear, the LEDs will alternately blink indicating you are currently in the Speaker Phone mode.  
Do not use the speaker phone as the only telephone in your home since in some special cases the  
speaker phone is not functional.  
!
The system will not enter speaker phone mode if:  
The feature has not been programmed.  
A report is being sent.  
An audible alarm is present.  
An announcement is being made or a recorded message is being played back.  
A message is being recorded.  
AC power is not present  
The speaker phone will be aborted if:  
A report must be sent.  
An audible alarm or trouble has ocurred.  
AC power is lost.  
Using the Speaker Phone Feature  
When the ReadyGuard-REN is operating in the speaker phone mode the system keypad functions as a  
telephone keypad and the only security keypad functions that will remain enabled are the panic keys and the  
speaker volume control. (refer to Volume Adjustment section) You may adjust the volume before entering  
speaker phone mode or after dialing the desired number. In the speaker phone mode, if a zone is violated  
and has triggered an entry/exit delay, the system will automatically change the keypad from telephone to  
security mode. This allows the user to disarm the system or take other appropriate actions in the security  
mode without interrupting the telephone session. To regain telephone keypad control (i.e.: to enter an  
account number or menu selection) you will need to reactivate the telephone keypad as described below.

General  
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is active 24 hours a day, providing continuous protection. In the event  
of an emergency, the installed smoke and heat detectors will automatically activate your security system,  
triggering a loud, intermittent sound from the keypad. An intermittent sound will also be produced by  
optional exterior sounders, and interlaced with the voice descriptor, sounding every 15 seconds. A “FIRE”  
message will appear at your keypad and remain on until you silence and clear the alarm display.  
In Case of Fire  
1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency  
before  
your detectors sense the problem, go to your  
nearest keypad and press the single panic key (or panic key pair) assigned as FIRE emergency (if  
programmed by the installer) and hold down for at least 2 seconds. The alarm will sound.  
2. Evacuate all occupants from the premises.  
3. If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify your local Fire Department  
immediately.  
4. If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the cause of the alarm. The zone number of the zone(s)  
in an alarm condition will appear at the keypad.

/ꢀ  
With regard to the number and placement of smoke and heat detectors, we subscribe to the  
recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #74 noted  
below.  
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and  
areas of the household. The equipment should be installed as follows: A smoke detector installed outside of  
each separate sleeping area, in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the  
family living unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics.  
In addition, the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the living room, dining room,  
bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached  
garages.

Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire. The following steps are recommended  
by the National Fire Protection Association:  
1. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders so  
that they can be heard by all occupants.  
2. Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of  
escape should lead to the door that permits normal exit from the  
OOM  
CLOSET  
BEDR  
building. The other should be an alternative escape, such as a  
window, should your path to that door be unpassable. Station an  
escape ladder at such windows if there is a long drop to the  
ground.

3. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairs  
and rooftops that can be used to escape. Indicate escape routes for  
each room. Keep these routes free from obstruction and post  
copies of the escape routes in every room.

5. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape route.  
If the door is cool, open it cautiously. Be prepared to slam the  
door if smoke or heat rushes in.  
6. When smoke is present, crawl on the ground. Do not walk  
upright, since smoke rises and may overcome you. Clearer air is  
near the floor.  
BACK  
7. Escape quickly; don't panic.  
8. Establish a place outdoors, away from your house, where  
everyone can meet and then take steps to contact the authorities  
and account for those missing. Choose someone to assure that  
nobody returns to the house — many die going back.

Security Codes  
General Information  
For additional security you (the Master User Code) can assign secondary user codes to individual users  
enabling them to perform specific system functions. These secondary users are identified by "user numbers"  
when their codes are assigned. You can assign up to 6 user codes (2-digit user numbers 03-08). Note that  
the master user is the only one who can assign codes to secondary users, and is designated user no. 02; user  
no. 01 is the Installer’s code.  
All codes can be used interchangeably when performing system functions (a system armed with one user's  
code can be disarmed by another user's code), with the exception of the Babysitter Code described below.  
Babysitter Code (User 07): This code can be used to arm the system, but cannot disarm the system unless  
the system was armed with this code. This code is typically assigned to someone (such as a babysitter) who  
needs to arm/disarm the system only at certain times. The Babysitter Code is assigned to User 07.  
Duress Code (User 08): This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm the system  
under threat. When used, the system will act normally, but can silently notify the alarm monitoring company  
of your situation, if that service has been provided. Duress Code is assigned to User 08.  
The Duress Code is useful only when the system is connected to an alarm monitoring company.  
To Add/Delete a User or Change a User's Code  
Changing the Master User Code  
Follow the procedure for changing a user's code, but enter User No. 02 and enter the new code twice.  
IMPORTANT: Temporary users of the system (e.g., babysitters, cleaning staff) should not be shown how to use any  
system function they do not need to know, such as bypassing protection zones for example.  
Sequential key depressions for all steps in a procedure must be made within 2 seconds of one another, or  
else the entire entry is aborted and must be repeated from its beginning.  
Add a user code:  
+ CODE Key + user number (03-08) + user’s code  
Master user code  
Delete a user code:  
+ CODE Key + user number (03-08)  
Master user code  
Wait (about 3 seconds) until the keypad beeps once before pressing any other key. The code is  
automatically deleted.

Testing the System (to be conducted weekly)  
Entering Test Mode  
The TEST key puts your system into the Test mode, which allows each protection point to be checked for  
proper operation. The keypad sounds a single beep every 45 seconds as a reminder that the system is in the  
Test mode.  
NOTE: An alarm message will not be sent to your alarm monitoring company during the following tests.  
Disarm the system and close all protected windows, doors, etc. The “READY” indicator should be lit.  
Enter:  
+ TEST key  
Your user code  
WATCH. All LCD segments will light for 3 seconds.  
LISTEN. The external sounder should sound for 2 seconds and then turn off. If the sounder does not sound,  
notify your service company.  
FAULT ZONES. Open each protected door and window in turn and listen for three beeps from the keypad,  
followed by the zone’s Voice Descriptor, if it is programmed. Identification of each faulted protection point  
should appear on the display. The display will clear when the door or window is closed.  
Walk in front of any interior motion detectors (if used) and listen for three beeps and/or voice descriptors, if  
programmed. The identification of the detector should appear on the display when it is activated, and its  
voice descriptor will be announced (if programmed). The display will clear when no motion is detected.  
Note that if wireless motion detectors are used, there is a 3-minute delay between activations. This is to  
conserve battery life.  
To test all smoke detectors, follow the manufacturer's instructions. The identification of each detector  
should appear on the display when each is activated.  
If a problem is experienced with any protection point (no confirming sounds, no display), notify your  
service company.  
When all protection points have been checked and are intact (closed), there should be no zone identification  
numbers displayed on the keypad.  
Exit Test Mode  
When testing is completed, exit the TEST mode by entering:

Trouble Messages  
Typical Trouble Condition Displays  
To silence the beeping sound for fault conditions, press any key.  
FAULT  
Indicates that a problem exists with the zone(s) displayed, accompanied by rapid beeping.  
First, determine if the zone(s) displayed are intact and make them so if they are not. If the  
zone uses a wireless detector, check that changes in the room (moving furniture, televisions,  
etc.) are not blocking wireless signals from the detector. If the problem has been corrected,  
the zone descriptor(s) and FAULT should disappear from the display. If not, key an OFF  
sequence (security code plus OFF) to clear the display. A fault condition can also indicate a  
wiring problem. If the “FAULT” display persists, notify your service company. Note that the  
system will not allow arming if a fault condition exists. To arm the system with a fault  
condition present, you must first bypass the zone(s) having the fault condition.  
FC  
CC  
Indicates that a failure has occurred in the telephone communication portion of your system  
or a problem with the phone line existed when dialing was attempted.  
Indicates that the control is on-line with the central station's remote computer. The control  
will not operate while on-line. Wait a few minutes. The display should disappear.  
dI  
If this remains displayed for more than 1 minute, the system is disabled.  
CA  
EA  
90  
Indicates a cancelled alarm. See Entry/Exit Delay section  
Indicates an exit alarm. See Entry/Exit Delay section.  
Indicates that the system has detected an RF jam condition or excessive interference. If the  
condition persists, notify your service company.  
LOW BAT  
Accompanied by a once-per 45 seconds beeping at the keypad, indicates a low system  
(no zone no.) battery condition exists. Refer to the Changing the ReadyGuard-REN System Battery section.  
LOW BAT  
Accompanied by a once-per-45 seconds beeping at the keypad, indicates a low battery  
(with zone no.) condition exists in the wireless transmitter displayed.  
LOW BAT  
Accompanied by a once-per-45 seconds beeping at the keypad, indicates a low battery  
(with zone 00) condition exists in a wireless keypad.  
Notify your service company.  
Routine Care  
Treat the components of your security system as you would any other electrical equipment. Do not slam  
sensor-protected doors or windows.  
Keep dust from accumulating on the keypad and all protective sensors, particularly on motion sensors  
and smoke detectors.  
The keypad and sensors should be cleaned carefully with a dry soft cloth. Do not spray water or any  
other fluid on the units.  
– 38 –  
 
6<67(0ꢁ)81&7,216ꢁ  
Maintaining your system  
The components of your security system are designed to be as maintenance-free as possible. To make sure  
that your system is in working condition, do the following:  
1. Test your system weekly.  
2. Test your system after any alarm occurs (see the TESTING THE SYSTEM section).  
Low Battery Conditions in Wireless Sensors  
Each wireless sensor in your system has a 9-volt or 3-volt battery. The system detects low battery conditions  
in wireless sensors, including smoke detectors, personal emergency transmitter, and the portable wireless  
keypad, and displays a “LOW BAT” message on the master keypad, which also beeps. A low battery in a  
wireless keypad is detected as soon as one of its keys is pressed, and the master keypad (e.g. Ademco 5827)  
will display “00”. In addition, a wireless smoke detector with a low battery also emits a "chirp" sound  
approximately once every 20–30 seconds, identifying itself as the smoke detector with the weak battery.  
NOTE: A low battery message means that battery replacement in the indicated sensor(s) is due within 30  
days. In the meantime, a sensor with a low battery is still operational.  
To silence Low Battery Warning Tones at the Keypad: Press the OFF key.  
The low battery message display will remain on as a reminder. When you replace the weak battery with a  
fresh one, the sensor will send a "good battery" signal to the control when the sensor is activated  
(opening/closing of door, window, etc.).  
To clear the “LOW BAT” message enter:  
+ OFF key.  
Your user code  
When replacing batteries, use only those recommended by your installer.  
Alkaline batteries provide a minimum of 1 year of operation, and in most units and applications, provide 2–4 years of service. 3-volt  
lithium batteries may provide from 4-7 years of operation. Actual battery life will depend on the environment in which the sensor is  
used, the number of signals that the transmitter in the sensor has had to send, and the specific type of sensor. Factors such as  
humidity, high or low temperatures, and large swings in temperature may all lead to the reduction of actual battery life in an  
installation.  
Changing the ReadyGuard-REN System Battery  
In the event of an AC power loss, the ReadyGuard-REN is powered by a rechargeable, nickel-metal hydride  
battery pack. The battery pack should be replaced when a “LOW BAT” message with no zone number is  
displayed.  
NOTE: The battery pack (P/N LYNXRCHKIT-SC or LYNXRCHKIT-HC) should be changed every  
four years and must be replaced by a qualified service technician.  
Following battery pack replacement, rechargeable batteries may take up to 48 hours to charge. The “LOW  
BAT” message may be displayed after one minute, however it should clear within 4 hours or by entering  
Test Mode.

WARNING!  
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM  
While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary or fire or other  
emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of  
reasons. For example:  
Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor or  
disconnect an alarm warning device.  
Intrusion detectors (e.g. passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not work without  
power. Battery operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not put in properly.  
Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly.  
Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal 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 is moved into the path.  
A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.  
While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not activate or  
provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, according to data published by the Federal  
Emergency Management Agency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with this System may not work are  
as follows. Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start  
where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke  
detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building. A second floor detector, for example, may not  
sense a first floor or basement fire. Moreover, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind  
of fire every time. In general, detectors may not always warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking  
in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children  
playing with matches, or arson. Depending upon the nature of the fire and/or the locations of the smoke detectors, the detector,  
even if it operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or  
death.  
Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in their installation  
manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and  
intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes  
place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows. Mechanical tampering, masking,  
painting or spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce their detection ability.  
Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambient temperature of protected area approaches the  
temperature range of 90° to 105°F, the detection performance can decrease.  
Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other  
side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices sound on a different level of the residence from the bedrooms, then they  
are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may not hear the warning if the alarm  
is muffled from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however  
loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers.  
Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be out of service or  
temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders.  
Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect themselves  
from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond appropriately.  
This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as  
long as 10 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.  
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance. This  
alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are working properly.  
Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance.  
Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and continue to insure their  
lives and property.  
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves and their loved ones to  
learn about these developments.

ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY  
Pittway Corporation, and its divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates ("Seller"), 165 Eileen Way, Syosset, New  
York 11791, warrants its security equipment (the "product") to be free from defects in materials and  
workmanship for one year from date of original purchase, under normal use and service. Seller's obligation is  
limited to repairing or replacing, at its option, free of charge for parts, labor, or transportation, any product  
proven to be defective in materials or workmanship under normal use and service. Seller shall have no  
obligation under this warranty or otherwise if the product is altered or improperly repaired or serviced by  
anyone other than the Seller. In case of defect, contact the security professional who installed and maintains  
your security equipment or the Seller for product repair.  
This one year Limited Warranty is in lieu of all other express warranties, obligations or liabilities. THERE  
ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES, WHICH EXTEND BEYOND THE FACE HEREOF. ANY IMPLIED  
WARRANTIES, OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES MADE BY SELLER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS  
PRODUCT, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A  
PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO A PERIOD OF ONE  
YEAR FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE. ANY ACTION FOR BREACH OF ANY  
WARRANTY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF  
MERCHANTABILITY, MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN 12 MONTHS FROM DATE OF ORIGINAL  
PURCHASE. IN NO CASE SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE TO ANYONE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL  
OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF THIS OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR  
IMPLIED, OR UPON ANY OTHER BASIS OF LIABILITY WHATSOEVER, EVEN IF THE LOSS OR  
DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY THE SELLER'S OWN NEGLIGENCE OR FAULT. Some states do not allow  
limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential  
damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.  
Seller does not represent that the product may not be compromised or circumvented; that the product will  
prevent any personal injury or property loss by burglary, robbery, fire or otherwise; or that the product will in  
all cases provide adequate warning or protection. Buyer understands that a properly installed and maintained  
alarm may only reduce the risk of a burglary, robbery, fire or other events occurring without providing an  
alarm, but it is not insurance or a guarantee that such will not occur or that there will be no personal injury or  
property loss as a result. CONSEQUENTLY, SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY  
PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR OTHER LOSS BASED ON A CLAIM THE PRODUCT  
FAILED TO GIVE WARNING. HOWEVER, IF SELLER IS HELD LIABLE, WHETHER DIRECTLY OR  
INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR  
OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF CAUSE OR ORIGIN, SELLER'S MAXIMUM LIABILITY SHALL  
NOT IN ANY CASE EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT, WHICH SHALL BE THE  
COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST SELLER. This warranty gives you specific legal  
rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. No increase or alteration, written or  
verbal, to this warranty is authorized.
