1.0 Symptoms of low/dead batteries The most common cause of intermittent control via a Wireless keypad is a low or dead batteries, it is recommended to change the battery first before exploring other possibilities, to rule it out. 1.1 There is no LED illumination when buttons are pressed. If the batteries are fully depleted, the LED will not illuminate when any of the buttons are pressed on the keypad; a battery replacement is required. 1.2 The LED blinks or flashes when any button is pressed If the LED blinks periodically when any of the buttons are pressed, there are two main reasons for this:

- The batteries installed are approaching the end of their life and need to be replaced.

- The wrong replacement battery has been used.

NB Rako Keypads are not compatible with Duracell batteries.
