Using an offsite phone
If enabled by the installer, you can control your Simon XT panel remotely from an
offsite phone. The panel answers a phone call according to the dialing method
programmed by your installer.
After a certain combination of rings and pauses, the panel will answer the call with
the voice prompt Enter Your Code. You must enter the correct code to gain access.
If you are interacting with your panel and the panel hangs up on you, the system is
calling in a report to the central monitoring station or remote phone due to an action
by you or someone at the security system site. The actions listed in Table 6 below
may be performed from an offsite phone.

Touchpads and key fobs
Touchpads are used to control the security system from any location within or near
your home.
Remote handheld touchpad
Interfacing with the system using a remote handheld touchpad is similar to using the
panel. Refer to the touchpad documentation for details.
Key fob
If your installer programmed the key fob with no entry delay, and you arm the system
with the key fob, you must disarm your system before entering the home to avoid
causing an alarm.
If your installer programmed your system for remote touchpad arming, you must
enter your home to start the entry delay before you can use your key fob to disarm
the system.
