Timed disable audible low battery warning???

Hi:

We have a fair number of sensors. In particular, our sirens require new batteries every ~3 months. It is a bit sleep-disturbing and anxiety-generating to have the voice from our base station wake us up at 2 AM saying, "Warning- low battery alert, <sensor name>" :)

I check for low battery alerts every morning on the keypad.

Thus, is there any way we can disable the audible low battery warning from playing in our bedroom base station from ~10 pm to 6 am?

Many thanks!

Captain

@largedoggie You can turn off the warnings completely via the keypad but you can't configure it to have a specific schedule or period.  Once this feature was installed by SS, I immediately shut it off. Why? I get push alerts to my phone and, at least for me, the base is configured for no lights, no voice, nothing. Zip.  Why? It's tucked away, hidden, in a seldom used room in the house so less likely to be found by an intruder and for reasons like you have in your post. 

Suggest you think about using it the same way. Despite the old SS commercials, you can very effectively use the SS3 system without any voice prompts or lights. Better than using voice prompts and lights, in my humble opinion.
