Thanks guys for your time and expertise!
Okay, keypad will show 00.
What code will the keyfob show if it is running low on batteries?
I was getting codes in the low 30's.
Probably will change the batteries on the keypad and keyfobs anyway.
Better to cover all bases.
Jim mentioned assigning alpha values to these, just not sure how to.
Any tips are greatly appreciated.
Thanks again guys.
