System says low battery ... how do I open it to
There are two tabs (and possibly a screw) on the top of the Simon XT panel. Remove srew (if installed) and press the two tabs, pulling forward. Front part of panel is hinged and will rock forward. Battery is located behind front half. It is a 6 volt 1.2 Amp Hour lead acid battery.You must completely downpower the Simon XT (wall plug in and battery) then replace with new battery first, then reconnect wall power. Close the front panel and snap it closedand replace the screw (if it was installed).You will need to set the time on the panel, following the instructions in the users manual.
How do I change the battery in the GE Simon XT
If your system is monitored call the central station first and tell them you are working on it. Then push down on release tab in top center to fold down the front face. Nest step is to use a small flat blade screw driver to push in and release the tab again in the top center and the unit will fold down towards you, hold on to it and you will see the battery compartment. Follow the red and black wires to the battery. Some units have a plastic lid over the battery that requires you to remove to small phillips screws to remove battery.
