Before You Service or Replace One

• Generation — Gen 1 vs Gen 2 vs 3rd gen — battery type and reset steps differ.
• Hub online — Base Station must show connected in app before diagnosing sensor.
• Range — distant devices may need Range Extender, not a new sensor.
• Tamper — cover fully closed before declaring hardware fault.
• Monitoring mode — Practice/disarmed modes affect whether alarms dispatch.
