Pay attention to the signals coming from your security system. One of the messages you may get is to notify you of a low battery. Both wired and wireless alarm systems have back-up batteries. They back-up and safe-guard against power outages and thieves who might cut the house power to try to disarm your system. But, if you have a wireless system, batteries are critical to the operation. With a wireless sytem, your control panel runs off of a battery, as well as the transmitters in motion detectors, key fobs, and other alarm accessories. It is important to keep up with the maintenance and testing of your batteries. Your local battery specialty store can test you battery and replace it as well. To change out your alarm batteries, remember to first turn the system off. You want to be sure to tell your monitoring company ahead of time of what you are doing. Remember, other batteries need checking too. Testing is important for your transmitters and motion detector and you should also test your smoke and heat detectors, plus carbon monoxide detector. Most home alarm system manufacturers sell their own replacement and back-up batteries. But, your local battery store will usually have better prices.
