After you hit *2, and you see the 1, press 1 again, it should give you a number between 1 and 4. What is that number?
1 is low battery, breaker or transformer is unplugged.
2 is tamper on the bell circuit, etc...

I got another '1'. everything is plugged in . this could be the backup batterry then?
(it has not been touched for years) if so, where could i find out quickly. as we go on vacation soon. Radio Shak?

If the transformer is plugged in and is putting voltage out, it is Likely the battery, or corroded battery connections.
You need a 12 volt 4 Ah Battery if you dont have a lot of powered devices. For more devices and/or longer backup time, use the 12 Volt 7Ah Battery.
After it is charging for a bit, the light should go out.

now after i replaced the battery (12 V 4 Ah) the amber light is GONE! no more chirping in the middle of the night. thanks Stratmando.
1 more question though, now, somehow, i could not push 'AWAY' button to 'arm' the house anymore. when I push it, nothing happens. i need to enter user-code to 'arm/dis-arm' the house. Can you tell me how to 'enable' the push button to arm?
