Important Messages to the Owner:
In the following parag raphs there may be some terminolog y that you are not fam iliar with. Rerea d this section aft er you familia rize
yourself with your security system.
Arming Your System with Doors or Windows Open:
after the exit dela y has expired. Thi s means they wi ll not be protec ting y our home. If you wish to by pass a sens or afte r you h a ve
armed your system , you must first disarm the system, th en open the do or or windo w which yo u want byp assed. Your system wi ll
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, y ou must do an additional disarm called subdisarm before acces sin g these areas to avoi d
causing an alarm. The master acc ess code and pa nic code can subdisarm. Wh en the system is disarmed, us ing the Cont rol Panel, the Remote Handheld Touchpad, or Toucht alk 2-Way RF Touchpad, en ter the master access code or panic code to su bdisarm
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 peri od or an alarm will sound .
or 4 beeps at the beginnin g of the ex it delay (see the ta ble “Pane l Beeps” on pag e 5 of this manual to determ ine 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 Alar ms: You hav e up to 120 secon ds (progra mmable by the installe r) after caus ing an accid ental al arm to
disarm your securit y syst em. See y our insta ller to determ ine thi s amount of time. If the pr ogramm ed se conds have passed, you
must call the central monitoring station to cancel the alarm.
Any sensors which are open when the system is armed will be bypassed
Remember, when y ou arm y ou will hear 2, 3,

Introduction to Y our 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 detect s tr oub le i t wil l n oti fy y ou w ith be eps an d
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 progr am yo ur s ec urity system. It commu ni cat es to yo u through panel voice me ssages, panel beeps, and by lighting buttons on the Control
Panel. The Control Panel can communicate to a central monitoring station and/or a nu meric pager. The Cont rol Panel may
come with 2-Way Voice On-Board.” Th is feature allows the
Central Station to commun icate with the user if ther e is a problem at the security system site.
Audio Verification Module
Model)
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 determ ine how serio us an alar m is, find ou t what
kind of help is needed, and dispatch the appropriate assistance.
(Not for use with Basic
Remote Handheld Touchpad and Touchtalk 2Way RF Touchpad
These touchpads are used to control the security system primarily from within the home.
(Not for use with Basic Model)
KeyChain Touchpads
KeyChain Touchpads are used to contro l the se curity syste m
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 Se nsors det ect motio n in a pro tected ou tdoor
area and can sound chim es 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.
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 syst em comm unica tes to yo u throug h the us e of pane l voic e mess ages , panel b eeps, i ndica tor light s 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 res pon d wi th s ys te m i nfo rma tio n or prom pt yo u to tak e f urth er ac ti on. For example, if you wan t to dis arm
the system and you press the DISARM button, the Control Panel responds by saying,
Please enter your access code
.
If you press a butto n and the feature has not been p rogrammed int o the Control P anel, the panel voice will res pond with
not available
intrusion Motion Sensors in your installation. The panel voice would respond with,
. An example of this situation is pressing the Control Panel button CHIME Special Motion when you have no non-
Function not available.
