Beeping


Keypad, Main Panel Or Speaker:
Usually if the keypad is beeping, it's either a chime in response to a door or window that has just opened, or it is echoing a trouble beep from the main panel. If you have an ITI or GE Security Pro System, you will hear a series of five or six beeps every minute if the system has detected a trouble condition. You can stop this beeping by pressing the * or Status key twice. If that doesn’t work turn the system off at the keypad (even if it's already off). That will force the system to reveal the cause of the beeping and should stop the beeping for at least twelve hours. If the condition has not been corrected the system may begin beeping again twelve hours later.
What If The Beeping Still Doesn't Stop?
If you have followed the above steps and still hear a recurring beeping, it is most likely that the beeping is coming from a device unrelated to your security system. Over the years we have had many calls from customers who were absolutely certain that the beeping was coming from or related to the security system. Instead of their security system it has been: A builder or homeowner-installed smoke detector, a pager, a wireless doorbell, a carbon monoxide detector, a cordless phone or a cellphone with a low battery.
