Optima panels are made, I think, by ADE in Merseyside. You should find them in the 'phone book under ADE or Advanced Design Electronics. It probably is the internal battery that's died - an easy job for someone who's in the know.

I am not sure but on the main control panel keypad try activating the alarm as you would when leaving your property, then straight after that re-enter the code to de activate. with some alarms this resets the system when current is interupted. Alternative there could be a reset button somewhere in the control panel.

It also means that the internal backup battery has failed.

your alarm has been reset to factory defaults. you will need to read the manual to find out what these settings are.
