Introduction
A Note About False Alarms
One of the most important concerns facing the security industry
today is false alarms. The accidental dispatching of police and
fire agencies places others in jeopardy by limiting the response
capability of those emergency service units.
As part of our commitment to reducing false alarms, we would
like to encourage you to read this guide thoroughly. All the
information contained here can help you quickly, and comfortably,
learn the Security Command™ system operation. If you have any
additional questions, or feel that you need more training, please
do not hesitate to contact your alarm dealer.
Note : There may be a 30-second alarm communication delay
pre-programmed at installation to allow disarming if a false alarm
occurs. This delay is optional and can be removed or increased to
45 seconds by your alarm dealer.
Test Your System Weekly
It is recommended that you test the burglary portion of your
system at least once each week. Testing should involve an active
test of all doors, windows, and motion detectors connected to
your system. If your system also has fire protection, call the
service department to find out how this portion of your system
should be tested.
Refer to the System Test section of this guide for instructions on
testing the burglary portion of your system and refer to the Fire
Drill section for instructions on testing your system fire bells.

personal user codes at any time or check the status of protection
devices in the system.

the premises that allow you to turn the system protection on and
off using your personal user code.
