Simon XT Talking Touch Screen 

Quick Operation Guide 

Description 

The Simon XT Talking Touch Screen is a color 3.5 inch LCD screen 
with a graphical user interface designed to control the basic 
functions of your Simon XT (v1.3 or later) control panel.  

You can use the touch screen to obtain the status of your home 
(open doors, movement detected, etc.) and to control your security 
system: 

• 

Arm the system (doors, windows, and motion sensors). 

• 

Disarm the system. 

• 

Activate a panic alarm to call the central monitoring station in 
a nonmedical emergency. 

Depending on the system configuration provided by your dealer, 
you may also have the following options: 

• 

Turn system controlled lights on or off. 

• 

View and modify home temperature. 

• 

Access limited online reference information (for example, 
weather forecasts). 

Note: 

Contact your dealer for configuration and option details. 

This document provides basic operation information for your 
touch screen and security system. For complete Simon XT system 
programming and operation, refer to the Simon XT panel 
documentation. 

Upon start up 

Upon start up, the Calibration screen appears. Use the Calibration 
screen to calibrate this touch screen. Touch the + icons in the 
corners on the Calibration screen using a soft, fine point.  

Home Screen 

You can access the Home screen from any display by touching the 
close icon. The Home screen will also appear after a period of 
inactivity on any screen (unless you set a blank screen as your 
default screen saver).

Time 

The current time is located at the top center of the Home screen. 
The time is automatically updated periodically by the security 
system time. 

Emergency button 

In an emergency, touch and hold the red Emergency button for 5 
seconds to send a panic alarm. 

Note: 

If your system is connected to a security monitoring service, 

the authorities will be notified. Contact your dealer for details. 

If you touch the Emergency button by mistake, you can cancel the 
panic alarm by touching the red Alarm button and entering your 
code within 30 seconds (typical time limit, contact your dealer for 
more information on your system configuration). 

Alarms 

If an alarm occurs in your security system, an alarm message will 
appear at the bottom of the Home screen. The message will 
indicate the time the alarm occurred and the sensor that sent the 
alarm. For example, the message might be, “10:30a sn x Front 
Door”, indicating the front door sensor sent an alarm at 10:30 am. 

Home status icons 

The four icons across the middle of the screen represent the 
status of your home. 

 

 

Doors. 

Depicts monitored door status (most typically 

external doors). A green check indicates all monitored doors 
are closed. A red exclamation point indicates one or more 
doors are open.

 

 

Windows.

 Depicts monitored window status. A green check 

indicates all monitored windows are closed. A red 
exclamation point indicates one or more windows are open.

 

 

Motion.

 Depicts motion detected by the motion sensors in 

your home. A green check indicates no recent motion 
detected. A red exclamation point indicates recent motion 
was detected.  A typical use for this feature would be to 
have a touch screen in the garage to see if movement is 
detected in the home before you enter the home. 

 

 

 

Armed (or Disarmed). 

Indicates the 

current state of your security system.

 

Note: 

Consult your dealer for a complete list of all monitored 

doors and windows in your system.
