Setting a Chirp Tone or Spoken Alert for Flood and Freeze Sensor

If you would like an audio signal when water or low temperatures are detected in your home, your Flood/Freeze Sensor can send an audible "chirp" or a spoken alert to your Alarm Base Station. If you choose the spoken alert option, you will hear “Water Detected” “Low Temperature Detected” or “Water and Low Temperature Detected”.

In addition, the Ring Alarm Base Station will show a blue pulsing (flashing) LED light.
