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 do an additional disarm called subdisarm before accessing the s e a re as to av oi d
causing an alarm. The master access code an d panic code can sub disarm. When the sy stem is disarmed , using the Contr ol Panel, the Remote Handhe ld Touchpad, or Touc htalk 2-Way RF Touchp ad, enter the maste r access code or pa nic code to subdisar m
the system. The Contr o l Pa n el is subdisarmed when th e Disarm button is flash ing. If the panic code was used, an alarm will be
reported to the central station.
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 t o exit befo re t he e nd of th e de la y peri od or an a la rm will so und . Re me mber, whe n you arm yo u will hear 2, 3,
or 4 beeps at the beginning of the exit delay (see the table “Panel Beeps” on page 5 of this manual to determine the meaning of
control panel/system beeps). At the end of the exit delay, the system beeps 2, 3, or 4 additional beeps. If you exit at that time
(after the exit delay ), your system assumes yo u are now returning to you r ho me. The system is now countin g do wn 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 imme di ately, and
call for non-medical emergency help.
Canceling Accide ntal Alarms: Yo u hav e up to 12 0 secon ds (p rogr ammab le by the insta ller) aft er cau sing an accid enta l alarm to
disarm your security system. See your insta ller to determin e this amou nt of time. If th e progr ammed sec onds have passed, y ou
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 detec ts tr ou bl e it will n ot ify you wit h b ee ps a nd
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 voi ce messages, panel beeps, and by lighting buttons on the Control
Panel. The Control Panel can communicate to a c en tral monitoring stat ion and/or a numeric pager. The Control Pa nel may
come with 2-Way Voice On-Board.” This feature allows the
Central Station to commun icate with the user if there is a problem at the security system site.
Audio Verification Module
The Audio V erificati on Module (AVM) give s the central station
operator the ability to hear what’s happening at the premises
during an alarm and speak directly to the system owner. The
operator can determine how serious an alarm is, find out what
kind of help is needed, and dispatch the appropriate assistance.
Remote Handheld Touchpad and Touchtalk 2Way RF Touchpad
These touchpads are used to control the security system primarily from within the home.
KeyChain Touchpads
KeyChain Touc hpa ds a re us ed to co ntro l the se curi ty syst em
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 on the Control Panel.
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, app lia nces, and a garage
door. Only unit numbers 1-8 may be used for individual light,
appliance, or garage door control.

subdisarmed, disarmed, or doors and windows armed,
and no activity has occurred (a key has not been
pressed or a sensor has not been tripped). Tripping of
non-intrusion chime sensors is not considered activity.
• Latchkey - A latchkey report is called when the system
is not disarmed by a predetermined time. The latchkey
Note: Because different codes can be entered using the
same button presses you have to use caution when programming the panic code. You need to ensure that the panic code
does not use the same button presses as other access
codes. For example if the master code is 1234, do not program the panic code to be 22 44 . The Control Panel would
interpret these codes to be the same code.
Time Activated Lights. Lights may be put on a time
schedule.
Entry/Exit Activated Lights. Lights will tu rn on for th e
delay period .
Sensor Activated Lights. Lights will turn on for 4 min-
utes after a sensor is tripped.
Set Clock. If the panel loses power, the clock must be set.
House Code. The house code progra mmed into the
panel should match the housecode set on lamp, appliance,
and garage door modules.

System Tests & Trouble Beeps
Automatic Control Panel Testing--What the System Tests for You
Your security system is able to automatically test itself for:
• Power failures
• Low batteries
• Non-working sensors
• Communication troubles with the Cen tral Monitoring Station
Trouble Beeps. When your security system detects one
of the problems above, interior sirens sound trouble beeps
rapidly six times, and then again every minute, until the trouble
condition is corrected.
If you do a status check by pressing the SYSTEM STATUS
button twice or chang e the sys tem from being armed to dis armed or disarmed to armed, the beeps will stop. If the problem is not corrected, beeps start again 4 hours later.
Silencing Trouble Beeps
Pressing the SYSTEM STATUS button twice or
changing from armed to disarmed or disarmed to
armed while th e system has a troub le condition
stops the trouble beeps. Trouble beeps begin again
4 hours later, in some ca ses, unless the tro ub le
condition is corrected.
AC Power Failure. This condition occurs if your security
system has been accidentally unplugged or if there has been
an AC power outage. The backup battery will take over. If AC
power is not restore d within 15 seconds, th e Control Panel wil l
go dark and alert you with trou ble bee ps. If y ou pre ss any button, the display will light and pre ss in g SYSTEM STATUS
twice will confirm the AC power failure. If AC power is not restored within 15 minutes, the system will call the central monitoring station (if programmed by installer). The backup
battery, if fully charged, will last for 18 - 24 hours with no AC
power.

Manual Tests--What You Need to Test
As an added safeguard, there are system tests you should do
yourself on a regular basis. The Control Panel cover in the
lower left corner reminds you to

Your Emergency Evacuation Floor Plan
Planning for Emergencies
This section describes what you can do to plan ahead for an
emergency:
• Emergency Planning
• Your Floor Plan
Emergency Planning
Since an emergency is a lways une xpected, you shoul d devel-
op plans to help prepare for a variety of emergency situations.
Periodically discuss and rehearse emergency plans to include
the following:
• Understand how to use your security system
• Know the normal state of doors and windows; open,
closed, or locked.
• Escape fast! (Do not stop to pack.)
• Use a different escape route if closed doors feel hot to
the touch.
• Crawl and hold your breath as much as possible to help
reduce smoke inhalation during your escape.
• Meet at a designated outdoor location.
• Emphasize that no one should return to the premises if
there is a fire.
• Notify the fire depa rtme nt from a neighbor’s phone.
• Emphasize that no one should enter the premises if they
hear sirens in th e house.
• If you arrive at the premises and hear sirens, do not
enter. Call for emergency assistance from a neighbor’s
phone.
Your Floor Plan
Use the following guidelines when drawing your floor plan:
• Show all building levels.
• Show exits from each room (two exits per room are recommended).
• Show the location of all security system components.
• Show the location of any fire extinguishers.
16
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-wa rn for a va riety of reasons.
• If sirens are not placed within hearing ra nge of persons sleep in g or in remote parts of the premises, or if they are place d
behind doors or other obstacles.
• If intruders gain access through unprotected points of entry or areas where sensors have been bypassed.
• If intruders have the technical means of bypassing, jamming, or disconnecting all or part 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, Smok e Sen sors cannot detec t smo ke 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, explo si ons, improper storag e of flammables, overloaded electrical circ uits,
or other hazardous conditions.
• If telephone lines are out of service. Telephone lines are also vulnerable to compromise by any of several means.
Inadequate maintenance 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 corre ct ly.
Although having an alar m sys tem may make you eligible for red uc e d insurance premiums, the system is no substitute for ins ur ance.
WARNING! Security system devices cannot compensate you for the loss of life or property.
Service
If you have any questions about your security system or if you ever need service, please contact your security consultant.
