Alarm started beeping and displayed BF check on
BF error on keypad is for Failure of Backup Communications. Usually for cell backup. If it is a monitored system, call your monitoring company. If not monitored, either call a service tech to repair it or if you have the programming code, you can turn the feature off in programming. Best to have a professional do it though.
If you have had any phone changes since it was installed, that may be a lead to where the problem is. Especially, if it is no longer monitored. BF basically means there is a problem when the system attempts to dial out to the central station on the backup setup. Again, this can be disable in programming if you no longer need it.
