Congratulations on your new SimpliSafe system! Before installing your sensors, you'll need to install your core devices. Then, follow along with the video below to install your Key Fob to your brand new system.

Installing Your Key Fob

If you are installing a new Key Fob or reinstalling a Key Fob that was removed, it can be (re)added through your Keypad.

1. Press Menu, enter your Master PIN, and open Devices.

2. Select Add device.

3. Scroll down to Key Fob, and click Add.

4. Press and hold the red panic button located on the top of the Key Fob for 2 seconds, and release to add the component to your system.

5. Name your Key Fob. 

You can also follow these steps to ensure your Key Fob is properly paired with your system when you are experiencing issues with your Key Fob. If the problem persists, please contact support.

Different Key Fob Functions

You may select the function of the panic button on your Key Fob(s) from the Keypad as well. 

1. Press Menu, enter your Master PIN, and open Devices. 

2. Select the Key Fob you wish to modify.

3. Scroll down, and select Panic Alarm. 

4. You can choose between Panic - audible, Fire, and Medical.

↓ In case of an emergency, hold down the (red) panic button on your Key Fob for 2 seconds, and then release. The proper authorities will be notified.

Naming Your Key Fob

You have the option to name your Key Fob(s) during installation, however if you prefer to name your Key Fob(s) after installation you can do so by re-entering the Setup and Naming mode on your Keypad.

1. Go to Menu, enter your Master PIN, and select Setup and Naming.

2. Hold down the panic button on your Key Fob.

3. You will be prompted to name your Key Fob.

We recommend putting the Key Fob on a keychain you carry, so that you can use it as a remote method of arming and disarming your system.

The battery in the Key Fob is not replaceable. Should you require assistance with a Key Fob that is no longer operable, please contact our support team.
