Re: Paradox Esprit fails to activate alarm siren in 3 Zones

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Programming does not get lost during a battery change...something else is
happening here.

worked

was

silent

| soon as the power went off, but this hasn't happened since the battery was
| changed.
