What does the icon of a gear on my Keypad's display mean?

The Keypad will display a gear when the Base Station has downloaded a Firmware update from SimpliSafe. Select it to prompt the installation of the update and follow the instructions displayed on your keypad. If you have more than one Keypad they will need to be brought to the Base Station and updated individually.
