You gotta get up early.....

Hi all,

Sorry for delay in replying but been away for a couple of days (thankfully the alarm hasn't burnt my house down in that time!!!).

Ok, to answer your question, there is a single control panel mounted by the front door and I've attached 2 pics to confirm how it looks outside and in. Sorry about the reflection from the flash but hopefully they should give you the info you need. Its an Optima 2 Plus from what I can make out.

I didn't have a problem with calling an engineer out per se, just felt that if it was a simple problem to resolve it would be a shame to pay someone to do it for me when there is such valuable resource available on here to help me!

Look forward to your replies anyway.

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.

Or it may be a metal one. if it is mind the batt doesnt fall on your foot when you take the lid off.

beep every 3 seconds = reset required

beep every 5 seconds = mains failure

Marvellous, thanks for the input chaps, I'll have a look for the main control panel and let you know what I find!!

You learn something every day eh, I've only lived here 3 years!!!!!!!

Quick temporary fix!!!

Pull cover off from beeping panels.

Wiggle off the small square labelled 'volume'.

No more beeping.

Your welcome

Handy to know, but only 14 years too late for the OP ?

I wouldn't say temporary fix, more permanent damage.
