Hey,
Thanks for everybody's advices.

I just bought a radio shack 49-1000
wireless security system.

But when entering the default code 0-0-0-0,
I get ERROR.  I can't get to INSTALL or
MENU if it doesn't recognize the default
code.

Has anyone found out to reset the code back
to default?

Thanks.
mdn

This has been asked before. I hope that the
earlier poster has the answer for you, as we
have not seen the answer yet. Mine was on 0-
0-0-0 when I got it. What does R.S. have to
say about this and share the info if they
give it to you.

I had this issue and contacted Radio Shack.
The code to reset the PIN to the factory
default is as follows: Press the number 7
followed by the number 9, then press
the "On" button, and then press the "Clear"
button.

> What does R.S. have to  say about this

After reading the various posts about the
default code notbeing 0000, I figured it
out. When the 49-1000 proves defective or
buggy and you return it, you may forget (or
on purpose) to change the pin or do a master
reset.

So ... they shove the box on the shelf, you
buy it, the other person's PIN is installed
and you are left posting here (since you are
lucky enough to know to come here) to find
out how to reset the code.

You most likely bought a used unit that was
returned because the other person had
trouble with it. Just like I returned two
units to Radio Shack when I had trouble with
them. Sorry.
