The Remote Control
Your wireless alarm system comes with a keychain-sized remote control. In many
ways, the remote control is the most powerful and important device in your security
system – essentially, it is the electronic key. Treat it like you would any other key -
keeping it on your keychain typically helps.
Using the remote control, you can arm and disarm the system (in either Home
Mode or Out Mode) from anywhere in range of the wireless signal.
Disarm:
Used to disarm the Wireless Alarm System, whichever mode it is in.
Arm Out Mode:
Selects and arms Out Mode.
Arm Home Mode:
Selects and arms Home Mode.
Alarm Button:
Trigger the alarm immediately - this can be used as a panic button or
to test the siren is in working order. Alternately, when arming the system, pressing this
button will bypass the thirty second arming delay (as indicated by the applicable Mode
LED on the Keypad Alarm Control Unit fl ashing) and arm the system immediately.
Keyguard:
A small sliding tab which can be placed to prevent accidental arming
or disarming of your alarm system when being carried in a pocket or bag.
Pairing the Remote Controls
The remote controls which came with your Home Wireless Alarm System should
already be paired with your Keypad Alarm Control Unit. If they don’t seem to work
right away, or you accidentally un-pair them (this can happen whilst assigning
sensors to zones) then follow this quick procedure to re-pair the remote controls:
Press and hold the ZONE SET button for approximately 6 seconds, until the
•
unit beeps twice.
Press any key on the remote control you want to pair. The Keypad Alarm
•
Control Unit will beep to confi rm that it has detected the signal from the
remote.
Press the Zone Button to exit pairing mode. The Control Unit will beep twice
•
to confi rm the remote control has been paired.

keyguard closed.

Your Passcode & Alarm Duration
To protect the security and integrity of your alarm system, you’ll need to defi ne a
unique passcode. Your passcode must be four (4) digits long – something you’ll
remember but not something so obvious that an intruder would be able to guess.
Try to avoid the obvious numbers, such as birthdays and anniversaries. Though
they are easy to remember, they are also easy for someone else to discover.
The best passcodes are arbitrary, random numbers.
We strongly advise that the passcode not be recorded in writing anywhere. Treat
your passcode with the same diligence as you would your personal identifi cation
number (PIN) on your bank card - perhaps even more so.
To program your unique passcode:
Press and hold the SETUP button. The unit will beep. Keep holding down the
•
SETUP button for approximately six seconds, until the unit beeps twice.
Then, enter your four digit passcode. Be careful not to make any mistakes!
•
Press “*” then “#” then “7”
•
The Keypad Alarm Control Unit will confi rm with one long beep.
•
Press SETUP. The unit will beep twice, confi rming that it has saved your new
•
passcode.
Important:
Your passcode should be kept as secret as possible, only told to those
who absolutely need to know. If you feel that your passcode has been revealed to
or discovered by a third party, you should change it immediately.
Changing the Alarm Duration:
The “Alarm Duration” is the amount of time that the siren will sound after the
alarm is triggered. You can set the siren to sound for 1 to 20 minutes* (01 ~ 20)
or set the siren to be inactive.
Press and hold the SETUP button. The unit will beep. Keep holding down the
•
SETUP button for approximately six seconds, until the unit beeps twice.
Input “007”
•
Input “XX”, where XX is the number of minutes you want the siren to sound
•
for. For values below 10, enter “0” fi rst (eg. for fi ve minutes, enter “05”). If
you want to turn the siren off altogether, enter “00”.
Input “**” then press SETUP to fi nish. The unit will beep twice, confi rming
•
that it has saved the new alarm duration.
* Many localities have very specifi c regulations regarding the allowable volume
and duration of an audible alarm. Before confi guring your system, we suggest that
you check with your local authorities regarding the laws and regulations that apply
to you, and adhere to these regulations.
