USER GUIDE 
KEYPAD FEATURES 
DISPLAY 
The 5839 is a wireless keypad that allows you to perform the same functions as you can from a wired keypad, as 
well as to display the status of your security system.  The 5839 should be used as an auxiliary keypad in 
addition to one or more wired keypads.  It should not be used as the only or primary keypad.  
KEYPAD KEYS 
To access the keypad keys, simply open the swing-down door by applying 
outward pressure on the door release 
slot on the right side. See Figure 1.  The 12 keypad keys are located behind the protective door and are 
continuously backlit for ease of use. See Figure 2. (Check the User’s Guide that accompanies the control panel for 
detailed instructions on the use of these keys.)  
The function keys include keys for panic alarm activation.  The panic alarms are activated by pressing key pairs 
[1] & [
✱], [3] & [#], or [
✱] & [#], or a Special Function Key (see below). Whether these panic keys are functional 
and the type of panic alarms they produce, is determined by the control panel’s capability and programming. 
(Check with your installer for the availability and assignment of these panic keys.) 
SOUNDER 
The keypad’s built-in sounder pulses for fire alarms and sounds continuously for burglary and audible panic 
alarms. 
SPECIAL FUNCTION KEYS 
These are four larger keys located to the left of the numeric keys (see Figure 2). The keys may be programmed 
by your installer for panic alarms or other special functions such as single-button arming.  
Special Function keys must be held down for at least 2 seconds to activate an alarm. (Check with your 
installer for the programmed function of these keys.)

GENERAL OPERATION 
To make sure the latest system status is displayed, press the [
✱] key before and after entering each command. 
HOW TO GET SYSTEM STATUS  
Inactive Mode:
 
If the 5839 keypad is 
inactive (with a blank display), press any key (to activate), then press the [
✱] key to 
display present system status. 
Active 
Mode: 
In the 
active mode (connected to a hardwired 9V power pack), the display continuously displays the present 
security system status. When the keypad is active and there is a change in system status (such as going from an 
ARMED STAY to DISARMED), it may take up to 20 seconds for the display to automatically update the status 
to show the status change. However, you can press the [
✱] key to update the display immediately.

HOW TO BYPASS A ZONE 
When bypassing zones on this keypad, enter the bypass command for each zone separately as described in the 
control panel’s Installation and Setup Guide. Press the [
✱] key after each bypass command. 
 
HOW TO REPLACE THE BATTERY 
Keypad wall-mounted: 
1.  Grasp the keypad firmly. Pull the top slightly forward, and then lift straight up and out to 
separate the keypad from the mounting plate. This exposes the battery compartment on the 
backside of the keypad. 
2.  Rest the keypad on a smooth surface and flip out the old battery. 
3.  Replace the old battery with a 9 Volt Ultralife Lithium battery (No. 465).  Ensure that battery 
female (-) and male (+) terminals match the embossed battery symbol in the battery receptacle.  
4.  Reattach the keypad to its mounting plate by aligning the four mounting holes in the keypad 
case back with the four mounting clips on the mounting plate. Lower the keypad onto the clips.  
Anticipated battery life is 1.5 years. 
NOTES:  The keypad must 
always be attached to its mounting plate.  
 
 
 After replacing the battery and reattaching the keypad to the mounting plate, enter the 4-digit 
security code + OFF sequence 
twice to clear any trouble condition.
