Using a flathead screwdriver, remove the cover. Insert the screwdriver into the opening on the cover and pry it off.

Gently remove the circuit board.

This device requires one CR2 or equivalent battery. Note: These batteries may be found in the electronic section of most local department stores.

Reinsert the circuit board by lining it up with the grooves on the inside of the casing.

FAQ

You’ve got questions? We’ve got answers

  • When I get notified that my alarm has been triggered, how do I find out if it was an actual emergency or a false alarm?

    You will need to contact your local police department. However, if the triggered alarm signifies an actual emergency, in most cases the authorities will notify the central monitoring station, which will then contact you.

  • What maintenance services does Vivint offer?

    Vivint offers full maintenance for your system. We employ hundreds of full-time technicians, located throughout North America, who are trained on every aspect of our systems. If something happens to go wrong, we will send a technician to your house to resolve the issue, generally in less than 24 hours.

  • Where are your monitoring stations located?

    We have two monitoring stations: one in St. Paul, Minnesota, and one in Provo, Utah. Additionally, all of our customer support representatives are located in the United States. We do not contract with off-shore providers.

  • Do you monitor 24x7x365?

    Yes. We have monitoring staff available at all times, including nights, holidays, and weekends. We also have customer support agents available 24x7x365.

  • What’s a secondary passcode?

    You can create secondary verbal passcodes for family members, relatives, or house sitters. Secondary passcodes can validate a secondary user of your system and also turn off a false alarm. You can add or drop secondary codes at any time, but only the primary passcode can make changes to your account.

  • Why do I need a verbal passcode?

    In case of an emergency, we need to be able to validate that we are talking to you over the Vivint Live voice. That is why we require a verbal passcode. This passcode can also be used to turn off a false alarm. We encourage you to choose a passcode that is personal and easy for you to remember.

  • How quickly does Vivint respond in an emergency?

    We respond to most emergency calls in fewer than 10 seconds.

  • How far away can I be from my home and still have remote control access of my system?

    You can control your system remotely from anywhere using your smartphone, computer, or tablet. Whether you’re down the street or halfway around the world, it will work the same as long as you’re connected to the Internet.

  • How do I link my smartphone to my system?

    You can download an app for your Blackberry, Android, or iPhone by visiting vivint.com/mobile. This page will walk you through the process step by step.
