carefreeman Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Hi I have a accord xpc alarm in my house which isn't used at all. The other night I came home and the alarm inside was making a loud noise. I typed in my code and it stopped but the battery light is now on. As I don't use the alarm is this anything to worry about? I want to know if its going to go off over and over again or thats it now I've typed my code in. I will get someone in to replace it when I have some spare cash as the battery might leak I guess if I leave it forever? I have no service plan and the house insurance is for a house without an alarm so thats not an issue. Its just about the dam thing going off again when I'm out annoying the neighbours and any damage it can be caused leaving it as it is. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 You do need to chnage the battery. If you leave it it will damage the panel and may go off over and over securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Oxo Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 A battery is not expensive and you can do it yourself if confident. A quick search here will find the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you never plan on using it then get someone in to de-commission it rather than repairing it, or you'll just have the same problem again in a few years time. Originally said by Charles Babbage On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
