Help installing PC1832 Wireless Only mode

I have a PC1832 connected with a TR5164-433 wireless transceiver module. I don't have any wired sensors. All the sensors are wireless.
When I try to install any of my sensors in any zone - 001 to 064, nothing works. When I read through forums, I see that I need to enable wireless on the zone I'm using the device. But no where I could find how to set this Wireless ON feature for the zone.
Can someone please help me in getting my Alarm system working?
Thank you so much in advance.

Refer to section 101 to 132.
Bit #8 must be enabled for wireless sensor for that zone.
Section 1xx refers to zone xx accordingly.

This is what I did:
*8
5555
109 (For zone 9)
8 (verified that 8 is displayed)
##
Then I tried to add a wireless motion sensor WS4904 to zone 9 by these commands:
I did try with the two digit and as well the three digit codes for the zone - neither of it works..
*8
5555
804
09
3*6*3*3*27
and
*8
5555
804
009 (Long beep)
3*6*3*3*27
Both cases, I hear this when entering the ESN:
(3 - short beep
* - 4 short beeps
6 - short beep
* - 4 short beeps
3 - short beep
* - 4 short beeps
3 - short beep
* - 4 short beeps
2 - short beep
7 - short beep
silence - no confirmation beep)
Please note - I used the resistors provided in PC1832 package to link the zones 1 to 8 to the ground. If I don't it was always complaining that the zone is open.
Thank you so much for helping me here..

You should be using only 2 digits for the zone #.
In your example:
*8
5555
804
09
3*6*3*3*27

Am I correct that you have the ESN of 3F3C27 ? Each press of the * toggles between decimal and HEX (letters) and when in HEX mode the ready light flashes.
When entering the ESN, it should not beep multiple times, only once per keypress and 4 beeps after the entire ESN.
Also to check when you setup the system initially, did you do a supervisory reset (902)? And followed by a 903 (do this a minute after the 902) to see if it sees the wireless modules? (zone 17 should appear) if the wireless module shows up. I'm wondering if it is rejecting your wireless program if the system doesn't see the wireless module.
As for zones 1-8 you could program them as zone type null (00) and you wouldn't have needed to put the resistors in.
