Questions and answers
alarm does not bleep after setting alam or after deactivating alarm
The Response SL2 alarm may not bleep after setting or deactivating the alarm if it is in Service Mode, as the siren does not operate in this mode until a remote control or keypad is linked to it. Additionally, if the Alarm Lockout feature has been activated after three alarm triggers, the system will prevent further re-arming and responses. Another possible reason is a low battery status, as the system incorporates battery level monitoring, and depleted batteries may affect functionality.
