1. Press and hold the "on/off" button. All the lights will illuminate and after about 5 seconds the "status"
light will start flashing. When the "status" light begins flashing release the "on/off" button.(Hold the
button too long and the device will power off)
2. The "status" light will remain solid while the device searches for a gateway in range. If the device finds
a gateway, the lights will illuminate from bottom to top displaying the relative signal strength. For
example if the "failure" light is illuminated, the device is indicating it has about 30% signal strength, if all
3 light are illuminated the device has 100% signal strength. A blinking light indicates half a "bar" of signal
strength. If the "status" light remains solid, and none of the other lights illuminate, the device is
indicating it can't find a gateway.
3. After about three minutes, the device will automatically exit signal strength mode and resume its
normal transmissions.

Battery Life
ZPoint wireless sensors will run up to 5 years on the two included Energizer Advanced Lithium AA
batteries. The units can transmit as frequently as every 5 minutes and be in ambient temperatures down
to -40°C without shortening the battery life. There are several things that will shorten the battery life:
Sensor configurations that require the sensor to constantly remain powered such as rainfall and wind
speed will reduce the battery life. Standard sensors such as temperature, humidity, flood, and dry
contact will not reduce the battery life.
