Quick start guide for the 2GIG RELY security panel and sensor kit — cellular-connected home security with app-based setup and monitoring.
Quick Start Guide for the 2GIG RELY® Security Panel and Kit — a cellular-connected home security system with a companion mobile app for setup and control. Installation and setup: 1, 2, 3.
Press and hold the panic button combination (< + >) for 2–3 seconds at any time (alarm on or off) to sound the alarm and notify the Central Monitoring Station. The Wireless Keychain Remote works within about 50 feet of the Panel — press and hold Away + Disarm together for 2–3 seconds to trigger the alarm remotely.
When armed and an Entry Sensor is triggered, the Panel beeps and prompts for your PIN — you have 30 seconds (the "entry delay") to disarm. If not disarmed in time, the Panel sounds a siren for 4 minutes and sends an alert to the Central Monitoring Station, which will attempt to contact you. Provide your "pass phrase" to cancel dispatch if it's a false alarm; otherwise authorities are dispatched.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How do I move a sensor? | Open the front of the sensor (back stays on the wall) and pull DOWN (not out) to remove it. Re-attach in a new location with fresh double-sided adhesive tape. |
| Battery life? | ~5 years for all sensors (Panel warns when low). The Panel's rechargeable backup battery normally never needs replacing. |
| What if a door/window is open when I arm the system? | The Panel warns you; that opening stays unprotected until closed. The bypass feature lets you bypass a zone one time (e.g. to let the dog out) without disarming. |
| What happens if I accidentally trigger an alarm? | Enter your PIN to silence it. Be ready to answer the phone with your pass phrase to verify your identity to the monitoring station. |
| Can I get a homeowner's/renter's insurance discount? | Most carriers offer a discount for a monitored Panel with active Central Monitoring Station subscription — contact your insurer. |
| Will RELY work during a power outage? | Yes — sensors are battery powered and the Panel has a built-in rechargeable backup battery providing 8 hours of power. |
| How do I avoid false alarms? | Give household/service staff their own PIN (via End User Portal), keep motion sensors away from heaters/AC/open windows, contact your dealer for large-pet customization, and ensure door/window magnets sit close to sensor grooves so rattling doesn't trigger them. |
Use only approved batteries and the supplied UL-approved power adapter. Tampering or unauthorized use voids the limited warranty. To prevent fire or shock hazards, do not expose the Panel or components to water or operate while wet/standing in water. Verify equipment operates correctly and can report an alarm immediately after installation, and periodically thereafter. Check periodically that components remain firmly adhered — a falling component could injure a passerby. Keep small pieces (magnets, batteries) away from children — swallowing could be harmful or fatal.
