SIGNALS
ALARM SIGNALS
Understanding the alarm signals:
FIRE Alarm:
a continuous, steady, loud tone emitted
through the speakers. Your installer may also program the
system to speak in between tones saying
FIRE, (description
of zone that activated), REMAIN CALM, LEAVE IMMEDI-
ATELY.
EMERGENCY Alarm:
a low pulsing tone is emitted through
the speakers. Your installer may also program the system
to speak in between tones saying ALERT, (description of
zone that activated).
PANIC Alarm:
a loud pulsing tone is emitted through the
speakers. Your installer may also program the system to
speak in between tones saying ALERT, ALERT, (descrip-
tion of zone that activated).
BURGLAR Alarm:
a loud yelping tone is emitted through
the speakers. Your installer may also program the system
to speak in between tones saying INTRUSION
DETECTED, INTRUSION DETECTED (description of the
zone that activated).
PREALARM tone:
a steady, low volume tone emitted
through the speakers during the entrance delay. This tone
is activated by opening the delay door and will continue
until the security system is disarmed. If the system is not
disarmed within the programmed delay time, the BUR-
GLAR alarm will sound. A broken or pulsing prealarm tone
signals that an alarm activation has occurred while you
were gone.
If the option is programmed to speak during prealarm,
the system will speak entry detected, followed by the
zone descriptor, instead of a solid prealarm tone.
DOOR & WINDOW ANNUNCIATOR:
The system will
speak up to four words describing a zone followed by the
word OPEN. If you would prefer not to hear anything
when you open a window or door, simply access the
system from one of your phones and press your code
followed by
2
or press the
MONITOR
key at an optional
keypad and you will hear MONITOR OFF. Now each
time you open a protected door or window there will be
status available over the phone and/or visual indication at
the keypad, but no sound. If you prefer to hear a beep
when you open, enter your code followed by
2
or press the
MONITOR
key again. You will now hear one beep. Enter
your code followed by
2
or press the
MONITOR
key and
you will hear MONITOR ON and the system will return
to speech. No monitor will be heard for a door or window
that is bypassed.
Loss of AC power signal:
Anytime that you lose AC power,
your security system automatically switches to the backup
battery and speaks POWER OFF one time through the
speaker.

ARMING
When referring to operation from a phone, the following
instructions will assume that access to the system has
already taken place. Remember, your installer has
programmed a one to four digit code which you will enter
when you pick up the phone to get access to the system.
How to TURN ON the alarm system to provide protection:
1. Arming the system to AWAY:
Push the
*
or
A
key.
If no zones are open, the green AWAY LED will light
and the system will say ARMED TO AWAY over
the phone or through the speaker.
The security system is now on, or armed. When armed
in the AWAY mode, all interior zones, including
motion detectors, become active, as well as all
perimeter zones. If any zone is open while attempting
to arm the system, the AWAY LED will not light and
the system will say ZONES OPEN over the phone or
through the speaker, indicating that the system did
NOT arm because a window or door is OPEN.
See Force Arm to continue to arm.
After you have ARMED the system, you must leave
through the designated entry/exit door within the
specified exit delay time. Your installer can program
the exit delay time you desire.
NOTE:
If a zone is opened before the exit delay
expires, or the system is force armed, then that zone
will
not
be part of the system until that zone is
closed.
2. Arming the system to HOME:
Push the
#
or
H
key.
If no zones are open, the red HOME LED will light
and you will hear the system say ARMED TO
HOME over the phone or through the speaker.
The security system is now on, or armed. When
armed to the HOME mode, only the exterior, or
perimeter, zones are armed. This will allow you to
move about freely within your home. If any zone is
open while attempting to arm the system, the HOME
