INTRODUCTION

This manual is provided to help you understand your security system and become p roficient in
its operation. All users of your security system should read and follow the instructions in this
booklet and, if possible, practice on the keypad control while your professional installer is on
site. Failure to do so could result in the security system not working properly. Please keep this
booklet 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.

The SECURITY CONTROL can be turned on (ARMED) and off (DISARMED) by entering a 4

Control has been so programmed, you may be able to turn on (ARM) your S ystem by simply
pressing the [PARTIAL] or [EXIT] key. The system must always be disarmed using a 4 or 6
digit code. The LED keypad includes up to 60 icons and a built-in electronic sounder. These

the booklet. Understanding what the icons and sounds mean will help you easily operate your
system.
