Key fob Maintenance and Battery Replacement
The pre-installed battery provides up to 5 years of operation of the key fob during normal use (one arming and disarming of the security system per day). More frequent use can reduce battery life. You can check battery level at any time in the Ajax app.
Keep new and used batteries away from children. Do not ingest battery, Chemical Burn Hazard.
The pre-installed battery is sensitive to low temperatures and if the key fob
is significantly cooled, the battery level indicator in the app may show
incorrect values until the key fob gets warm.
The value of the battery level is not updated regularly, but only after
pressing one of the buttons at the key fob.
When the battery is discharged, the user will receive a notification in the Ajax app, and the key fob LED will slowly light up and go out red each time the button is pressed (key fobs with firmware version 3.16 and lower light up green).
