That is because you are using a v4.2 wireless receiver which sometimes
caused phantom keyfob low batteries. The prevention was to program all
keyfobs with something other than 000000 however if it already
happened you had to replace both panel and receiver. Never heard of
the zone 7 part tho.

They had a warning and new v4.22 firmware out about 5 years ago.

Yep. I had it on the 832's.  Board was trashed. DSC was replacing them for
about a year after they issued the warning. I had some pop up after that
which I had to change on my dime but at least they made it up in other
areas. This is one of the reasons, plus others, that they started the new
series panels.
