THIS MANUAL IS FURNISHED TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR SECURITY
SYSTEM AND BECOME PROFICIENT IN ITS OPERATION. ALL USERS OF
YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM SHOULD READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS
AND PRECAUTIONS IN THIS BOOKLET. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT
IN THE SECURITY SYSTEM NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS BOOKLET

SECURITY SYSTEM. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANY PART OF THIS
MANUAL YOU SHOULD NOTIFY YOUR INSTALLING COMPANY.
The SECURITY CONTROL can be turned on (ARMED) and off (DISARMED) by
entering a 4 or 6 digit code into the Keypad Control, which is similar to a telephone
keypad. If your Security Control has been so programmed, you may be able to turn on
(ARM) your System by simply pressing the [STAY] or [EXIT] key. The system must
always be disarmed using a 4 or 6 digit code. The LED keypad includes up to 35 lights
and a built-in electronic sounder. These provide specific information relating to the
status of the security system which is described in the booklet. Understanding what
the lights and sounds mean will help you to easily operate your system.
READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL AND, IF POSSIBLE, PRACTICE ON THE KEYPAD
CONTROL WHILE YOUR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLER IS ON SITE.
KEEP IN MIND, THE LEVEL OF SECURITY YOU WILL OBTAIN WITH THIS
SYSTEM RELATES SPECIFICALLY WITH TWO MAJOR FACTORS:
1. The quantity, quality, and placement of security devices attached to this
system.
2. The knowledge you have of the security system and how that knowledge is
utilized in a weekly test of the complete system.
YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING FACTS WHEN PREPARING A
SAFETY/SECURITY PLAN FOR YOUR HOME/BUSINESS.
Your security system is an electronic device and is subject to failure or
malfunction. Do not rely on it as your single source of security.
Your system should be tested weekly.
Your system will not work without power.
Warning devices will need to be loud enough, wired correctly, and properly
placed to provide notification of an alarm event.
Smoke and heat detectors may not detect heat and smoke in all situations.
Use qualified security professionals to install and maintain your security system.
It may be possible to arm the security system without the backup battery
connected. Your periodic test should be done with A.C. Power removed to verify
the battery is connected and adequately charged.
Care should be taken to plug in and restrain the A.C. Transformer after testing.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SECURITY CONTROL SYSTEM. IF
