Ah, a Telecom....was it the 680? Bellman will know. Fire, PA and ambulance keys under a plastic flap on the keypad. Had some fun with those

That's ageist. Anyway, you seem to manage alright.....some days

you watched them then! and you're no better Hope you cleaned it up

I think you may be referring to the 'NVM'? Engineering information (including manuals) is only available to trade members of this site. If you are not in the trade I would recommend you get a professional installer to service and reprogram your system fo you.

It does sound as though your panel has reverted to factory settings when the power was off. This will be due to faulty or disconnected backup battery. I would recommend you get an engineer to reprogram it and check it all out for you, as programming information is not given out on the public forums. Click on the 'installers' link at the top of the page to find someone near you.

You will need to fill in an application form and meet the criteria set out here.

Yes, feel free to send it to me or anyone else who has replied. I think that would be better, I/we will then post it in the trade section.

Can you scan and send one of us a copy of the manual? This would help enormously.

Sep 2nd, eh? You must be very busy installing those premiers! Happy Birthday. anyway :

lol. well summed up

Ok, that's your remote keypad. you will have a main control panel somewhere in your house. look in your large cupboards/wardrobes, under the stairs, cellar/garage (maybe even loft), etc. for a large cream (same colour as sides of keypad) plastic box with 1 screw in the middle, right hand side....thats your control panel! Find the battery and replace with the same kind.

You gotta get up early.....

forgive my ignorance, but I can't quite get my head round that one. surely if the battery is not connected, no current will be drawn and there will be no more risk(possibly less?) of fire than if a battery was connected?
