How Do I Change the Battery on My Honeywell L7000 Security System?

The Honeywell Lynx Touch L7000 is a self contained alarm system so the backup battery is located directly inside. Press both tabs along the top of the panel firmly and swing open the keypad. Then disconnect the battery lead from the board and connect the leads from the replacement battery.

Before changing the battery, if the system is monitored, contact the monitoring provider and place the L7000 system on test to prevent any false alarms. Once the system is on test, power down the Lynx Touch L7000 by removing the transformer from the outlet or separate the male barrel connector from the female port if an LT Cable was used.

1. Open the Lynx Touch L7000 using a flathead screwdriver and press the tabs located on the top of the panel.
2. Using the same screwdriver, unscrew the battery retainer and remove.
3. Unplug the battery from the battery connector on the panel and remove.
4. Place the new battery in the case and plug the new battery into the battery connector
5. Install the battery retainer and secure with screws
6. Reconnect the front cover to the back cover
7. Plug the transformer back into the outlet or reconnect the LT Cable.

Users can call the monitoring provider and take the system off test.
