Important Messages to the Owner:
In the following paragraph s there may be some terminolog y that you are not familia r with. Reread this sectio n after you fa miliar ize
yourself with your security system.
Arming Your System with Doors or Windows Open: Any sensors which are open when the system is armed will be bypassed
after the exit delay has expired. This means they will not be protecting your home. If you wish to bypass a sensor after you have
armed your system, you mu st first di sarm the sys tem, then op en the door or window whic h you want byp assed. Your system will
tell you if a protected door or window is open when you arm the system. If your system includes 24-hour protection sensors on
items such as gun or jewelry cases, you must place the panel in program mode before accessing these areas to avoid causing
an alarm.
CAUTION! If you use the Control Panel to arm your security system when leaving your home, you need to be aware of the following: You need to exit befor e th e en d of th e de la y per io d or an ala rm will s ound . Remember, when you arm yo u wil l hear 2, 3,
or 4 beeps at the beginning of the exit delay (see the table on page 4 of this manual to determine the meaning of system beeps).
At the end of the exit delay, the system beeps 2, 3, or 4 additional beeps. If you exit at that time, your system assumes you left
and are now returning to your home. The system is now counting down the entry delay time and will expect you to disarm the
system within the entry delay time or it will alarm.
Something may have happened while you were away! If you enter your home and controlled lights that are normally off are
on and/or you hear alarm sirens, an intruder may be insid e or another emergency may have occurred. Leave immediately, and
call for non-medical emergency help.
Canceling Accidental Alarms: You have __ seconds (programmable by the installer from 5-120 seconds) after causing an accidental alarm to disarm your security system. See your installer to determine this amou nt of ti me. If the pr og rammed seconds
have passed, you must call the central monitoring station to cancel the alarm.
Notices for UL-Listed Installations:
• This system is suitable for Grade A household burglary applications.
• The Freeze Sensor, Glass Guard and Shock Sensors are not UL Listed.
• The garage door opening feature used with this system has not been evaluated by UL.

Introduction to Your System
Your security system uses wireless technology to warn your
family about intrusion and fire. It may also be used to control
lights and appliances within your home.
The system is designed to be monitored and/or to send messages to a numeric pager.
The security system uses devices called sensors which use
radio waves to communicat e ala rms to the control panel.
The system is supervised, meaning that the control panel
checks the status of each sensor to detect problems. If the
control panel detects trouble it will notify you with beeps and
indicator lights on the control panel itself.
Typical Security System Components
A typical security s ys te m ins tallation consists of the following
devices:
Control Panel
The Control Panel is us ed to o pe ra te an d p ro gra m yo ur s ec urity system. It co mmunicates to you through panel v oi ce messages, panel beeps, and by lighting buttons on the control
panel. The Control Panel ca n co mmun icate to a central monitoring station and/or a numeric pager.
Remote Handheld Touchpad
Remote Handheld Touchpad s are u sed to contro l the se curity
system primarily from within the home.
KeyChain Touchpads
KeyChain Touchpads are used to control the security system
from within or near the outside of your home.
Indoor Motion Sensors
Indoor Motion Sensors detect motion. They may be used for
intrusion protection or to sound chimes.
Outdoor Motion Sensors
Outdoor Motion Sen sors det ect motion in a pro tected o utdoor
area and can sound chimes or turn on outside lights. They
are not used for intrusion detection.
Door/Window Sensors
Door/Window S ensors detect the opening of a door o r window.
Smoke Sensors
Smoke Sensors detect smoke. They have a built in siren
which sounds when smoke is de tected.
Modules
Modules are used to control lights, appliances, and a gara ge
door.

Alarm System Limitations
Not even the most advanced alarm system can guarantee protection against burglary, fire, or environmental problems.
All alarm systems are subject to pos s ib le co mpromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons.
• If sirens are not placed within hearing range of persons sleeping or in remote parts of the premises, or if they are placed
behind doors or other obstacles.
• If intruders gain access through unprotected points of entry or areas where sensors have been.
• If intruders have the technical means of bypassing, jamming, or disconnecting all or pa rt of the system.
• If power to sensors is inadequate or disconnected.
• If freeze or any environmental sensors are not located in areas where the appropriate condition can be detected.
• If smoke does not reach a Smoke Sensor. For example, Smoke Sensors cannot detect smoke in chimney s, wall s, roofs , or
smoke blocked by a closed door. Sensors may not detect smoke in other levels of the building. Sensors may not warn in
time when fires are cause d by smoking in bed, explosions, improper storage of flammables , ov erloaded electrical circuits,
or other hazardous conditions.
• If telephone lines are out of service. Telephone lines are also vulnerable to compromise by any of several means.
Inadequate mainte nance is the most common cause of alarm failure. Therefore, test your system at least once per week to be
sure sensors, sirens, an d pho ne commu ni ca tions are all working correctly.
Although having an alar m sys tem may make you eligible for reduced insuran ce pre miu ms, the system is no substitute for insurance.
WARNING: Security system devic es canno t compe nsa te you for the loss of life or prope rty.
