Change the Master User or Duress Code
The
Master User Code
provides users with the ability to access the
System Settings
menu and, depending on your system con
fi
guration, may also provide
access to other pin-protected features. The
Duress
code lets users send a silent duress report to the Central Station. See "If You Need to Use the Duress Code"
on
page 12
.
IMPORTANT:
When customizing codes for your system, ensure they are simple enough to remember, but not something that can be
easily guessed or discovered by an intruder. For example, do not use the dwelling’s physical address, telephone digits, birth dates, or
birth years. Codes should only be given to trusted individuals. For example, in a residential installation the primary homeowner may know
the Master User Code, while family members and/or legal occupants may only know their individual user code and the Duress Code.
