THIS MANUAL IS FURNISHED TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR
SECURITY SYSTEM AND BECOME PROFICIENT IN ITS OPERATION. ALL
USERS OF YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM SHOULD READ AND FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS IN THIS BOOKLET. FAILURE TO DO SO
COULD RESULT IN THE SECURITY SYSTEM NOT WORKING PROPERLY.
THIS BOOKLET SHOULD BE KEPT IN AN ACCESSIBLE LOCATION FOR THE
LIFE OF THE SECURITY SYSTEM. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANY PART
OF THIS MANUAL, YOU SHOULD NOTIFY YOUR INSTALLING COMPANY.
READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL AND, IF POSSIBLE, PRACTICE ON THE KEYPAD
CONTROL WHILE YOUR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLER IS ON SITE.
The SECURITY CONTROL can be turned on (ARMED) and off (DISARMED) by entering a 4
or 6 digit code into the Keypad Control, which is similar to a telephone keypad. If your
Security Control has been so programmed, you may be able to turn on (ARM) y our Sy stem
by simply double pressing the [AWAY], [STAY], or [NIGHT] key. The system must always be
Disarmed using a 4 or 6 digit code. The LCD keypad includes 4 lights and a 32-charac ter
liquid crystal display and a built-in electronic sounder. These provide specific information
relating to the status of the security system, which is described in the booklet. Understanding
what the lights and sounds mean will help you to easily operate your system.
KEEP IN MIND, THE LEVEL OF SECURITY YOU WILL OBTAIN WITH THIS SYSTEM
RELATES SPECIFICALLY WITH TWO MAJOR FACTORS:
1. The quantity, quality, and placement of security devices attached to this sy stem.
2. The knowledge you have of the security system and how that knowledge is
utilized in a weekly test of the complete system.
YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING FACTS WHEN PREPARING A
SAFETY/SECURITY PLAN FOR YOUR HOME/BUSINESS.
1. Your security system is an electronic device and is subject to failure or
malfunction. Do not rely on it as your single source of security.
2. Your system should be tested weekly.
3. Your system will not work without power.
4. Warning devices will need to be loud enough, wired correctly, and properly
placed to provide notification of an alarm event.
5. Smoke and heat detectors may not detect heat and smoke in all situations.
6. Use qualified security professionals to install and maintain your security sy stem.
7. It may be possible to arm the security system without the backup battery
connected. Your periodic test should be done with A.C. Power removed to verify
the battery is connected and adequately charged.
8. Care should be taken to plug in and restrain the A.C. Transformer after testing.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SECURITY CONTROL SYSTEM. IF YOU DO NOT
UNDERSTAND ANY PORTION OF THIS MA NUA L, OR IF YOU HAVE A NY QUESTIONS
ABOUT YOUR SYSTEM, CONTACT THE INSTALLING COMPANY.
