Can not set my opitma 8EP 396 compact G3?

we had random alarms setting off at all tiems of the day and the alarm was a good 3-4 years old.
Checked voltage in bell box battery and that was 3.4 volts rather than the required 7.2 so I changed batteries on the bell box and the main unit. I've done a chime setting on all doors and windows and each one functions. I have four zones. However when I go to set the alarm LED's 5,6,7,8 light up light up with the tone x4 no tamper or attack light.
I'm missing something out i can't seem to see why it wont set.

Any help would be great.

I think you need to check that each zone has been programmed if in doubt Try a reset to factory conditions. Standard method to reset to full factory set conditions Power down the panel, remove any connections in "Set Output" terminal and PA Imnput terminal fit a shorting link between these terminals power up, wait for alarm to start, power down remove shorting link and refirt original wiring, power back up code will now 1234.
Then reprogramme each zone according to the manual, if no manual most available on Honeywell site
