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.
To turn Chime on/off:
• While in Level 1—OFF, from any touchpad, press
7
+

.
While the Chime feature is on, touchpads display,
“CHIME ON” or “CHIME IS OFF.”
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 pro-
tected 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 pro-
gramming menu. Refer to Appendix C, “Programming Menus” for
information on programming your system.

Your security system is engineered with advanced technology that
reduces the chance of an accidental 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.
If, for example, you arm the system, then run upstairs for something
you forgot, the Exit Delay time may expire. Once the Exit Delay
expires, opening an armed door or moving in front of a motion
detector will cause an alarm.
Aborting Accidental Alarms
Your system can be set up with the opportunity to abort an acci-
dental intrusion, Police or Auxiliary alarm. (Fire alarms caused by
smoke sensors, fire panic alarms, and heat sensors cannot be
aborted.)
If the Dialer Abort feature is turned on, disarming the system (thus
aborting the alarm), within a specified time period will silence the
siren and prevent the alarm from being reported to the central
monitoring station.
Aborting a fire alarm will silence the siren, however fire alarms are
always reported. If an accidental fire alarm has sounded, follow the
procedures of your central monitoring station to prevent a false dis-
patch.
To cancel an alarm:
• Press
1
+ Code.
Guidelines for Preventing Accidental Alarms
Following these guidelines will go a long way toward pre-
venting accidental alarms.
✓
Close doors and windows before you leave your
house.
✓
When getting ready to leave the house, gather the
things you want to take with you so you can exit imme-
diately after arming the system.
✓
Always enter and exit within the programmed delay
times.
✓
Make sure you leave through a door that has a delay
time set for it. If you arm your system, then leave
through a door without a delay time, an alarm will
immediately sound.
✓
When you return, immediately disarm your system.
✓
Be aware of the devices in your security system and
learn how each one operates.
✓
Listen to system beeps. Take note of any touchpad
messages which indicate the system’s current status.
✓
If you have pets, ask your installer if you need pet
lenses in your motion detectors. Pets climb higher
than you may guess, causing alarms when you are
away.
✓
Check the location of your smoke detectors. Smoke
detectors near bathrooms can be tripped by steam
from a shower. Smoke detectors near the kitchen can
be tripped by cooking smoke.
Refer to the User Sheet in Appendix A to determine what
the specific settings are for your system.
