Keychain
Touchpad
Arming
To disarm your system with a keychain touchpad, press the Unlock button.
Your installer can set up your keychain touchpad to arm the system in one of two ways:
•
Press the Lock button to arm the system directly to Level 3 with no Exit delay. Using this
method, you would not be able to arm to Level 2.
•
Press the Lock button to increase the arming level each time it is pressed (Level 1 to Level 2,
or Level 2 to Level 3). The Exit delay time would be applied.
Note
Your system may be configured to sound short beeps on exterior sirens when arming or disarming the
system using a keychain or wireless touchpad. This gives confirmation that an arming change was suc-
cessful even when outside. Ask your installer about this feature.
Quick Arm
Your system may be set up so that you’re able to arm the system without using an access code.
¾
To use Quick Arm:
•
Increase the arming level by simply pressing
2
or
3
at any touchpad.
•
Decreasing the arming level requires that the user enter a code.
Quick Exit
Note
In UL Listed systems, this
feature is disabled.
Your system may be set up so that when your system is armed to Level 2—STAY, you’re able to
press
D
on any touchpad and simply walk out of the door without having to disarm and rearm
the system.
This is useful when your system is armed and you want to quickly pop outside to pick up the
newspaper without disarming your system.
Important !
If you step outside and are
planning to come back in, do
not close the door behind
you!
¾
To use Quick Exit:
1. When the system is armed to 2—STAY, press
D
at any touchpad. You will begin to hear one
beep every five seconds. These beeps will continue throughout the 2 minute Quick Exit inter-
val.
Note
Opening the door without
pressing
D
will cause the
entry delay to begin.
2. Open the door and go outside.
Leave the door open if you are planning to come back in!
3. Come back in within two minutes and close the door. The system will rearm to 2—STAY.
Using the
Chime Feature
Turning on the Chime feature is like having bells on every protected door and window. When this
feature is on, sirens and speakers sound 2 beeps whenever anyone opens a protected door or win-
dow.
The Chime feature works only in Level 1—OFF.
¾
To turn Chime on/off:
•
While in Level 1—OFF, from any touchpad, press
7
+
1
. While the Chime feature is on,
touchpads display, “CHIME IS ON” or “Chime.”
When the system is armed again, Chime becomes deactivated.
Chime-On-Close
The Chime-On-Close feature works like the regular Chime feature, but in addition to the double
beeps heard upon opening a protected door or window, the system sounds one long beep when
the door or window is closed again.
You can turn the Chime-On-Close feature on or off from the programming menu. Refer to
Appendix C, “Programming Menus” for information on programming your system.
Preventing
Accidental
Alarms
Your security system is engineered with advanced technology that reduces the chance of an acci-
dental alarm caused by a technical problem. In wireless systems, this technology prevents other
devices, such as garage door openers, ham radios, television remote controls, and cellular
phones, from interfering with your security system.
Most accidental alarms occur when leaving the house after arming the system, or upon returning,
before disarming the system.
