TROUBLESHOOTING

  • The alarm can only be set when the green light next to “ready” is on. If it doesn’t come on, there may be an exterior door still ajar. If you check all doors and it still does not show “ready”, let Alice know because there may be a problem with the alarm system that needs repair. Call or text Alice at 323-620-2677.

  • If you have trouble reading the keypad at the bottom of the stairs because it’s dark, there is a little tap light on the wall next to it

HOW TO KEEP OPEN THE ENTRANCE GATE

  • While the gate is open, flip the switch inside the green gear box next to the entrance gate (there is a small door flap on the right side of the green gear box that has the switch behind it)

  • If the gate doesn’t automatically close after a few minutes, reach into the gear box and unplug and plug-back-in the gear box power cord to reset the gate (then wait a few minutes)

HOW TO KEEP OPEN THE EXIT GATE

  • Find the gate’s gear box and open the small door flap on its side (you’ll see a switch and a power outlet inside)

  • Unplug the cord from the power outlet, then plug it back in (this should automatically open the gate)

  • Once the gate is fully open, flip the switch to lock the gate in the open position

HOW TO CLOSE THE EXIT GATE

  • Flip the switch inside the exit gate gear box back to its original position (the gate will automatically shut after a minute)
