Turning the System On With a Duress Passcode

This feature requires a passcode.
A duress passcode is used to send a silent alarm signal to your security
company. It arms or disarms the security system just like your personal
passcode; however, as the system is armed or disarmed, an alarm signal
is transmitted. Be sure that your security technician indicates how this
feature works in your system. There is no alarm tone or visual indication
at the premises that the report is sent.
Application
The duress passcode is used when someone threatens you and
demands that you disarm (or arm) your security system. By disarming (or
arming) with a duress passcode, your security company is alerted of an
alarm situation.
Pa 1, or + 2
The duress passcode is based on your personal passcode. By increasing
the last digit by one or two, the duress feature is activated. Example: If
your personal passcode is 1234, the duress passcode is 1235 (or 1236).
❒
My system uses Pa 1 for duress.
❒
My system uses Pa 2 for duress.
Note: If your system has a security passcode that “unlocks” the COM-
MAND bar, increasing the last digit of that passcode will send a duress
signal to your security company.
Important!
Be sure to press the ENT key after entering the duress passcode.
