Installing key fobs

I’ve been trying to follow the instructions for installing my key fobs but it says to scroll down to key fob under the devices only the wording key fob isn’t there.

Hi Janie,

 

Sorry for the confusion. To install a Key Fob through the Keypad, you want to navigate to Menu > Devices > Add Device > Other Devices > OK.

This puts your system into Setup Mode. Now, on the Key Fob, press the Panic Button (the red spot at the end of the device). The Base Station should announce that the Key Fob has been added. You can then go back to the Keyfob to give it a nickname.

@thomaseg49​ Have you tried removing the batteries from your Keychain Remotes and inserting them back in? This can help to ensure that they're properly seated. Once you reinsert the battery, I would then try to add the Keychain Remote to your system.
