whats wrong with my alarm?, its going crazy Options

1) that backlight won't go off.
it shouldnt be on unless i press the "F" button and even then it should only stay on for like 10 sec.

2) it keeps flickering.
every 3 sec. it just shuts off for a split second then comes back on for 3 more seconds

3) the buttons dont do anything!
it won't unlock or lock the doors, nothing!

could it be the heat? its like 100 degrees outside but not in my room (where it is right now). if it is the heat will it go away? what the hell do i do?

OK my friend said that you can go into the menu on the alarm ( it should tell you how to in the manual, hit all the buttons at once..i think..) and there should be a way to turn off the backlight...if not he said like you did take out the battery and let it sit for a few minutes to reset...if not then i dunno
