Ensure the battery, battery wires, and antenna are secured into their appropriate compartments and not hindering a snug fit. There is also space for an optional screw which may need to be removed first.
Close the Panel:
Align the panel slots with the 4 tabs at the top of the backplate first.
Next, press the bottom of the panel against the backplate to snap the two tabs into place, immediately followed by pressing the top into place.
After Closing:
- Power back on the panel
- Acknowledge prior tamper notifications to clear the alert
- There will be an audible alert every 30 minutes while the system is not properly closed. This alert can be disabled if unsuccessful in replacing the cover fully, but this will also prevent an alert if the cover is ever reopened.
