If the building and/or neighborhood has lost electrical power, the
system will continue to operate on backup for several hours.
The system attempted to communicate with the monitoring station, but
failed. This may be due to Trouble 3.
The system has detected a tamper condition with one or more sensors
on the system.
If the system has been equipped with wireless sensors, one or more
has reported a low battery condition.
If complete power was lost, the time and date will need to be re-
