See RK36 Keypad description for explanation of "Monitor

To change monitor mode from a phone; access the system
(refer to Local Access or Remote Access), then enter the user
code plus the
2
digit. This toggles to the monitor mode.

NOTE:
MONITOR MODE
FROM A PHONE
The system can be programmed to allow the use of your
home telephones as keypads. You will notice that the
keypad shown below duplicates the keys on your phone.
The
*
key on the phone is replaced by the
A
key on the
keypad and the
#
key on the phone is replaced by the
H
key
on the keypad. Your installer will let you know which key
or keys will access the system. The local phone access
code must be entered within (5) seconds of picking up the
phone. If the correct code is entered within (5) seconds, you
will hear the system acknowledgement tone or system
status. At this point you can control the system from the
phone just like from the hardwired keypad.
NOTE:
If your regular phone line is out for any reason you
will not hear a dial tone when you pick up a phone,
however, you will hear a series of tones indicating the line
is gone. If this is the case, there is no need to access the
system because the phone will already be a system keypad
when it is picked up. Press any key and the tones will stop.
If your system communicates to a central station and there is
an activation, you can pick up a phone and simply enter
your disarm code. The system will recognize the phone as a
keypad as soon as you pick it up.
NOTE:
When you access the system from your home
phone, your normal incoming phone line is disconnected.
In the case of an incoming call you will hear one-second
tones similar to call waiting. To answer the call simply
hang up to terminate telephone keypad access.
How to TURN OFF the alarm system
Enter your disarm code.
When the system is disarmed, you will hear CON-
TROL IS DISARMED over the phone and/or through
the speaker and the red HOME LED and/or green
AWAY LED will go out.
When you open the entry door while the system is
armed to AWAY, you may hear PRE-ALARM
spoken instead of hearing the tone. This is the
prealarm tone and it will continue until you enter
your disarm code. You have 20 seconds to disarm
the system before the BURGLAR alarm will activate.
Your installer can program a longer or shorter entry
delay time, at your request.
If the prealarm tone is not a continuous, steady tone,
but is instead a series of broken tones, this is an
indication that the security system was activated
while you were gone, and the yellow STATUS LED
will be flashing.
In the unlikely event of a FALSE
or ACCIDEN-
TAL ALARM, enter your code to disarm the system
and stop the audible alarms. Check with your
installer and/or central station to determine the
proper procedure for dealing with false or accidental
alarms. Depending on the structure of your central
station, you may need to notify the central station or
they may call you. In either event, be prepared to
recite your central station account number or abort
code to verify your identity.

5. Preventing accidental arming:
If you want to prevent anyone from accidentally
arming the system, your installer can program the
alarm system to require your disarm code to also
serve as an arming code. When programmed to this
option, you must enter your code before you press
the
*
or
A
key (AWAY mode) or
#
or
H
key (HOME
mode) to arm the system.
