Battery
When the touch screen panel's batteries are low, the touch screen will display the red battery icon on the Home and Settings screens.
To replace the panel's batteries:
1. Remove the touch screen from the mounting plate by inserting a small screwdriver into the slot on the bottom of the touch screen.
2. Replace all batteries being sure to follow the polarity instructions (replace with four 1.5 V, Alkaline AAA batteries). Avoid touching the touch screen face while you are replacing the batteries.
3. Briefly disconnect the AC power (this will clear the battery fault).
4. Reconnect AC power. Note: If AC power is lost and batteries are not present or are depleted, the touch screen will not power up until AC power is restored (even if new batteries are installed).
