4. Unplug and remove the old battery from the holder, then replace it with a new 2GIG-BATT2X battery pack.
5. Place panel back onto backplate, then tighten the top and bottom screws.
6. Place the faceplate back on the panel.

Trouble Alert Descriptions:
- • AC power failure: check the power outlet to which the panel is connected. Confirm the transformer is securely connected.
