Power Saving Mode for the Keypad

Updated 

If the batteries in your Keypad are draining quickly, you may want to enable power saving mode. 

Enabling power savings will prevent the Keypad from waking up without one of its buttons being pressed first. It also shortens the amount of time the backlight is lit to 5 seconds while shortening the amount of time the display will stay on when idle to 10 seconds.

To enable power saving mode:

  1. Press Menu on the Keypad

  2. Enter your Master PIN

  3. Select Devices

  4. Select your Keypad

  5. Choose Power Savings

  6. Use the Keypad's arrow to toggle between OFF and ON

We recommend enabling this feature if you want to conserve its battery, or if you notice your batteries are draining quickly. The Keypad uses four (4) AA batteries which have a life expectancy of 8-12 months, depending on usage. We recommend only using AA alkaline batteries, and never rechargeable ones within this product.
