optima xm6?

Hi all,
I recently moved in a property which have Optima XM6 fitted in the house.
I asked the landlord to explain me about it, but he replied that it was already fitted when he moved in and never bothered to use it.
Only thing he gave me is the code.
I found instructions from internet and tried to use it.

The power and Day led's were on, i put the code in, but the Zone 1 light shows up.

I have never used the alarm before so not sure if i am going in the right direction or not.

Can someone help me how to set it up right.


Thanks

Thanks Nick for the reply.

The front door was closed when i tried the alarm and i was standing not in the sensor range.

May be other time when i try i would keep it for more time to see what happens.

Meanwhile any more ideas welcome.

if its in working condition which it sounds like it is keep it pal just change that battery inside the box when you do that the alarm will sound but its nothing to worry about just key in your code when it does that followed by reset and when the cover is refitted it will automatically go back to day mode


my first question is was the front door or the door to leave your house open when zone 1 was illuminated

second question; I would set the alarm off to see if the outside box is working because the connector blocks on these old sounder/strobe box's rust and eventually stop the alarm working
