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

Access Codes.
access code, access codes 1-5, and a panic code. The master code is used fo r disarmi ng and pro grammin g your sy stem.
Access codes 1-5 are generally used for children or as temporary codes for a babysitter or service personnel and may
be used only for disarming. The panic code may be entered
to disarm or subdisarm the system in a non-medi cal emergency situation . The Contro l Panel will cal l the ce ntral stati on,
but there will be no indication of an alarm at the Control
Panel.
Note:
Because different codes can be entered using the
same button presses you have to use caution when programming the panic code. You need to ensure that the panic code
does not use the same button presses as othe r acc ess
codes. For example if the master code is 1234, do not program the panic code to be 2244. The Control Panel would
interpret these codes to be the same code.

Your Emergency Evacuation Floor Plan
Planning for Emergencies
This section describes what you can do to plan ahead for an
emergency:
• Emergency Planning
• Your Floor Plan
Emergency Planning
Since an emergenc y is alw ays un expec ted, y ou s hould deve l-
op plans to help prepare for a va riety of emergency situa tions.
Periodically discus s and rehearse emergenc y plans to include
the following:
• Understand how to use your security system
• Know the normal state of doors and windows; open,
closed, or locked.
• Escape fast! (Do not stop to pack.)
• Use a different escape route if closed doors feel hot to
the touch.
• Crawl and hold your breath as much as possible to help
reduce smoke inhalation during your escape.
• Meet at a designated outdoor location.
• Emphasize that no one should return to the premises if
there is a fire.
• Notify the fire department from a neighbor’s phone.
• Emphasize that no one should enter the premises if they
hear sirens in the house.
• If you arrive at the premises and hear sirens, do not
enter. Call for emergency assistance from a neighbor’s
phone.
Your Floor Plan
Use the following guidelines when drawing your floor plan:
• Show all building levels.
• Show exits from each room (two exits per room are recommended).
• Show the location of all secu rity system co mponents.
• Show the location of any fire extinguishers.
16
Alarm System Limitations
Not even the most advanced alarm system can guarantee protection against burglary, fire, or environmental problems.
All alarm systems are subject to possible compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons.
• If sirens are not placed within hearing range of persons sleeping or in remote parts of the premises, or if they are placed
behind doors or other obstacles.
• If intruders gain access through unprotected points of entry or areas where sensors have been bypassed.
• If intruders have the technical means of bypassing, jamming, or disconnecting all or part of the system.
• If power to sensors is inadequate or disconnected.
• If freeze or any environmental sensors are not located in areas where the appropriate condition can be detected.
• If smoke does not re ach a Smoke Sensor. For example, Smo ke Sens ors c ann ot dete ct sm ok e i n c hi mney s, walls, roofs, or
smoke blocked by a closed door. Sensors may not detect sm oke in other levels of the building. Sensors may not warn in
time when fires are caused by smoking in bed, explosions, improper storage of flammables, overloaded electrical circuits,
or other hazardous condit ions.
• If telephone lines are out of service. Telephone lines are also vulnerable to compromise by any of several means.
Inadequate maintenance is the most common cause of alarm failure. Therefore, test your system at least once per week to be
sure sensors, sirens, and phone communications are all working correctly.
Although having an alarm system may make you eligible for reduced insurance premiums, the system is no substitute for insurance.
WARNING!
Security system devices cannot compensate you for the loss of life or property.
Service
If you have any questions about your security system or if you ever need service, please contact your security consultant.
