New Zealand - The following is a list of warnings applicable when this equipment is connected to the New Zealand Telecom Network.
General Warning
The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indica tes only that Telecom has accepted tha t the item complies with minimum conditions for connection to its network. It indicates no endorsement of the product by Telecom, nor
does it provide any sort of warranty. Above all, it provides no assurance that any item will work correctly in all respects
with another item of Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model, nor does it imply that any product is compatible with all of Telecom's network services.
Reverse Numbering (decadic signalling)
This equipment must not be programmed for decadic (pulse) dialling because its characteristics are incompatible with
the telephone exchanges in New Zealand. DTMF (tone) dialling is considerably faster and is fully compatible.
Line Grabbing Equipment
This equipment is set up to carry out test calls at pre-determined times. Such test calls will interrupt any other calls that
may be set up on the line at the same time. The timing set for such test calls should be discussed with the installer.
The timing set for test calls from this equipment may be subject to 'drift'. If this proves to be inconvenient and your calls
are interrupted, then the problem of timing should be discussed with the equipment installer. The matter should NOT be
reported as a fault to Telecom Faults Service.
D.C. Line Feed to Other Devices
During dialling, this device unit does not provide DC voltage to the series port connection and this may cause loss of
memory functions for the terminal devices (local telephone) connected to T-1, R-1.
General Operation (ringer sensitivity and loading)
This device only responds to Distinctive Alert cadences DA1 and DA2. DA1 is the normal ringing cadence.
pens the Telephone Company will provide advance notice in order for you to
make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted serv ice.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and your central
station (if applicable) to an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable but
they may not work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for prudent security practices or life and property insurance. Your security system must be installed and serviced by qualified security professionals. These professionals can instruct you on the level of protection that
has been provided and on system operations.
Language Selection
Your system can display messages in different languages.
1. Press and hold both buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds.
2. Using the buttons, scroll through the available languages.
3. Press to select your desired language.
Arming and Disarming the System
Stay Arming
Stay arming will bypass the interior protection (i.e., motion sensors) and arm the perimeter of the
system (i.e., doors and windows). Close all sensors (i.e., stop motion and close doors). The
Ready ( ) indicator will illuminate.
Press and hold the Stay button until it beeps (approx. 2 seconds), enter your access code
or present your prox tag; do not leave the premises. During the setting state (exit delay active),
the Armed ( ) and Ready ( ) indicators will illuminate.
When the exit delay is completed, the alarm system is armed/set and this is indicated on the
keypad as follows: the Ready ( ) indicator will turn off, the Armed ( ) indicator will remain on.
The Armed ( ) indicator and a bypass message will be displayed. The system will automatically ignore bypassed zones (i.e., motion sensors).
NOTE: For SIA CP-01 listed panels, the Stay Arming Exit Delay will be twice as long as the Away
Arming Exit Delay.
NOTE: If your system is installed in accordance with SIA CP-01 Standard for False Alarm
Reduction, then the security system will arm in the Stay Armed mode if the exit delay time expires
and no exit has been made.
Night Arming
To night arm the system when it has been armed in Stay Mode, press at the keypad. All
interior zones will now be armed except for devices programmed as Night Zones.
NOTE: Your installer can also program a function key on the keypad to allow you to arm the
system in Night Mode. This allows Night Arming to be activated by holding down the function key
for 2 seconds.
Night zones are only armed in Away mode; this permits limited movement within the premises
when the system is fully armed. Ensure that your installer has provided you with a list identifying
zones programmed as night zones.
2
When the interior zones are activated (i.e., ) you must enter your access code or pres-
,
,
,
,
ent your proximity tag to disarm the system in order to gain access to interior areas that have not
been programmed as night zones.
Silent Exit Delay
If the system is armed using the Stay button or using the ’No Entry’ Arming method (
[Access Code]), the keypad buzzer will be silenced and the exit time will be doubled for that exit
period only.
Away Arming
Close all sensors (i.e., stop motion and close doors). The Ready ( ) indicator should be on.
To arm, press and hold the Away button for 2 seconds and/or enter your access code, present
your prox tag or press to Quick Arm.
During the setting state (exit delay active) the Armed ( ) and Ready ( ) indicators will turn on,
and the keypad will sound one beep per second. You now have ___ seconds to leave the premises (please check with your installer to have this time programmed). A keypad buzzer, whose
pulsating rate is distinct, will sound during the last ten seconds of the exit delay to warn person(s) that the exit delay is running out. To cancel the arming sequence, enter your access code
or present your prox tag.
When the exit delay is completed, the alarm system is armed and this is indicated on the keypad
display as follows: the Ready ( ) indicator will turn off, the Armed ( ) indicator will remain on
and the keypad will stop sounding.
The system can also be armed/disarmed with a wireless key and with prox tags. Refer to the
‘Proximity Tags’ and ‘Two-Way Wireless Key’ sections for more details.
NOTE: If your system is installed in accordance with SIA CP-01 Standard for False Alarm
Reduction, the following holds true: Violation and restoral, followed by a second violation of the
entry/exit zone before the end of the exit delay, will restart the exit delay.
Quick Exit
If the system is armed and you need to exit, use the Quick Exit function to avoid disarming and
rearming the system. Press and hold the Quick Exit button for 2 seconds or press .
You now have 2 minutes to leave the premises. When the door is closed again, the remaining
exit time is cancelled.
Siren Sounds After Away Arming
Audible Exit Fault
In order to reduce false alar
ms, the Audible Exit Fault is designed to notify you of an improper
exit when arming the system. If you fail to securely close the entry/exit door during the programmed exit delay period, the system will sound the alarm to indicate an improper exit (your
installer will tell you if this feature has been enabled on your system). If this occurs:
1. Re-enter the premises.
2. Enter your access code or present your prox tag, before the entry delay timer expires, to dis-
arm the system.
3. Repeat the Away arming procedure, ensuring that the entry/exit door(s) are secured.
Arming Error
An error tone will sound if the system is unable to arm. This will happen if the system is not ready
to arm (i.e., sensors are open), or if an incorrect user code has been entered. If this happens,
ensure all sensors are secure, press and try again.
Disarming
To disarm an armed system (Armed ( ) indicator is On), enter your access code or present your
prox tag. If your keypad is in sleep mode, press any key to wake it up then enter your access
code/present prox tag. The keypad will sound a continuous tone after the entry delay has been
initiated by opening the entry/exit door. Enter your code within _______ seconds to avoid an
alarm condition (check with your installer to have this time programmed).
Disarming Error
If your code/prox tag is invalid, the system will not disarm and a 2-second error tone will sound.
If this happens, press and try again.

,
,,,
The system can be armed and/or disarmed, if programmed by the installer, using a remote control
device (wireless key fob). When arming the system using the Arm button on a wireless key, the system will acknowledge the command by sounding a single bell/siren squawk, if programmed to do
so by the installer. When disarming using the disarm button on a wireless key, the system will
acknowledge the command by sounding two bell/siren squawks. Three squawks, when disarming
with the disarm button, indicates that an alarm occurred while the system was armed. If you are
unsure of the cause of the alarm, proceed with caution (see section on 2-way Wireless Keys).
Emergency Keys
Press the (Fire), (Auxiliary), or (Panic) button for 2 seconds to generate a Fire,
Auxiliary, or Panic alarm. The keypad buzzer will beep indicating that the alarm input has been
accepted and transmission to the central station is underway. The button may or may not
sound the siren depending on installer setup.
NOTE: The Fire button can be disabled by the installer.
NOTE: The Auxiliary Alarm button is not intended to be used for medical signals.
NOTE: The priority of signals is fire alarm, carbon monoxide alarm then burglary alarm.
Intrusion (Burglary) Alarm Continuous Siren
If you are unsure of the source of the alarm, proceed with caution! If the alarm was accidental,
enter your access code or present your prox tag to silence the alarm. If the alarm system is disarmed within the programmed Abort Window (check with the installer if this option has been enabled on your system and what is the transmitter delay time programmed), no alarm transmission
to the Central Station will occur. Following the Abort Window there appears a 5-minute Cancel
Window, during which a user can cancel, by entering their access code or presenting their prox
tag, an alarm that has been previously transmitted. A cancel signal will be transmitted to the central station and the alarm system will also announce that the cancel signal was transmitted. Call
your central station to avoid a dispatch.
Fire Alarm Pulsed Siren
Follow your emergency evacuation plan immediately!
If the fire alarm was accidental (burned toast, bathroom steam, etc.), enter your access code or
present your prox tag to silence the alarm. Call your central station to avoid a dispatch.
Carbon Monoxide Alarm
Activation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO), which can be
fatal. During an alarm, the red LED on the CO detector flashes rapidly and buzzer sounds with a
repeating cadence of: 4 quick beeps, 5-second pause, 4 quick beeps. If an alarm sounds:
1. Operate silence button.
2. Call emergency services or your fire department.
3. Immediately move outdoors or to an open door/window.
