The only time I have ever seen that message is when the software isn't up to date. It is the only thing I can think of.

Nope, don't need the key but you do need power. To update the software all you do is replace a chip. Does anyone know the current version of software DEI is on for the bitwriter?

Alarm must have power, in other words it just needs to be hooked up.
