Important Messages to the Owner:

In the following paragraphs there may be some terminology that you are not familiar with. Reread this section after you familiarize 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 must first disarm the system, then open the door or window which you want bypassed. 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 these areas to avoid causing an alarm. The master access code and panic code can subdisarm. When the system is disarmed, using the Control Panel, the Remote Handheld Touchpad, or Touchtalk 2-Way RF Touchpad, enter the master access code or panic code to subdisarm the system. The Control Panel is subdisarmed when the Disarm button is flashing. 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 to exit before the end of the delay period or an alarm will sound. Remember, when you arm you 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 you 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 inside or another emergency may have occurred. Leave immediately, and call for non-medical emergency help.

Canceling Accidental Alarms: You have up to 120 seconds (programmable by the installer) after causing an accidental alarm to disarm your security system. See your installer to determine this amount of time. If the programmed 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 communicate alarms 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 system installation consists of the following devices:

Control Panel

The Control Panel is used to operate and program your security system. It communicates to you through panel voice messages, panel beeps, and by lighting buttons on the Control Panel. The Control Panel can communicate to a central monitoring station and/or a numeric pager. The Control Panel may come with 2-Way Voice On-Board.” This feature allows the Central Station to communicate with the user if there is a problem at the security system site.

Audio Verification Module

Remote Handheld Touchpad and Touchtalk 2-

Way RF Touchpad

These touchpads are used to control the security 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 on the Control Panel.

Outdoor Motion Sensors

Outdoor Motion Sensors detect motion in a protected outdoor area and can sound chimes or turn on outside lights. They are not used for intrusion detection.

Door/Window Sensors

Door/Window Sensors detect the opening of a door or window.

Smoke Sensors

Smoke Sensors detect smoke. They have a built in siren which sounds when smoke is detected.

The Audio Verification Module (AVM) gives 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.

Modules

Modules are used to control lights, appliances, and a garage door. Only unit numbers 1-8 may be used for individual light, appliance, or garage door control.

Security System Beeps, Lights, and Messages

Your security system communicates to you through the use of panel voice messages, panel beeps, indicator lights on the panel itself, and to a numeric pager if programmed.

You communicate to your security system with key presses on the Control Panel, touchpads, or through the use of a remote telephone. Disarming and programming require you to input a 4-digit access code. The Master Access Code default is 1-2-3-

4 when the security system is shipped from the factory. You should change it to a code known only by you.

Panel Voice Messages

When you press the buttons on the Control Panel or the touchpads, the Control Panel responds with voice messages. Panel voice can be enabled or disabled (see “What You Can Change:” on page 11).

These messages may respond with system information or prompt you to take further action. For example, if you want to disarm the system and you press the DISARM button, the Control Panel responds by saying, Please enter your access code.

If you press a button and the feature has not been programmed into the Control Panel, the panel voice will respond with Function not available. An example of this situation is pressing the Control Panel button CHIME Special Motion when you have no nonintrusion Motion Sensors in your installation. The panel voice would respond with, Function not available.

Panel Beeps

Panel beeps are used to indicate keypresses, status, and problems with the system. Panel beeps can be enabled or disabled (see “What You Can Change:” on page 11).

Use the following table to understand the beeps used by the security system.

Activity	Beep Response
ARM Doors & Windows	Exit delay beeps sound 2 times when you arm* and 2 times at the end of the delay time;
	Entry delay beeps sound 2 times every 5 seconds and 2 times per second during the last 10
	seconds
ARM Motion Sensors	Exit delay beeps sound 3 times when you arm* and 3 times at the end of the delay time;
	Entry delay beeps sound 3 times every 5 seconds and 3 times per second during the last 10
	seconds
ARM Doors/Windows &	Exit delay beeps sound 4 times when you arm* and 4 times at the end of the delay time;
Motion Sensors	Entry delay beeps sound 4 times every 5 seconds and 4 times per second during the last 10
	seconds
DISARM	1 beep
CHIME DOORS	2 beeps (feature must be programmed by installer)
CHIME SPECIAL MOTION	3 beeps (feature must be programmed by installer)
TEST SENSORS	Beeps when sensor tripped
EMERGENCY	Beeps and sirens are activated
Trouble Beeps	6 beeps every minute. Press SYSTEM STATUS button twice to stop beeps for 4 hours

* You will not get initial exit delay beeps if you are arming from a Touchtalk 2-Way RF Touchpad.

Note: You may receive a different number of panel beeps if buttons are pressed quickly.
