Key Fob Installation Guide
Updated
Overview
Our Key Fob works just like a car’s - with just a press of a button you can arm or disarm your entire SimpliSafe® system from up to 30’ away! And if you’re subscribed to a professional monitoring plan, you can use the Key Fob’s red Panic Button to alert our monitoring centre immediately if there’s an emergency.

Before Getting Started
Before setting up your Key Fob, you will need to install your Base Station.
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.
Key Fob Customisations
With professional monitoring, the Key Fob has a Panic Button with customisable options for disabled, fire, or sound alarm settings. Below are the steps to customise these settings.
Press Menu and enter your Master PIN.
Navigate to “Devices”.
Select the Key Fob you wish to modify.
Scroll down and select Panic Alarm.
You can choose between “Panic - audible”, “Fire”, and “Disabled”.
Once you have decided who you want your Key Fob panic button to alert, make sure the selection is highlighted, and click “Set”.
Repeat steps 2-6 if you want to change the function of the panic button on all of your Key Fobs.
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*.
*The monitoring alert is only available if you are subscribed to a professional monitoring plan.
