Overview 1

Thank you for selecting a security system from Paradox Security Systems Ltd. This advanced technology security system provides you
with reliable security protection and powerful features that anyone can use without memorizing complex and confusing codes. The
system consists of the control panel, one or more keypad modules, various input devices (e.g. motion detectors, door contacts, etc.) and
various output devices (e.g. bells, sirens, lights, etc.).

The elegant and user-friendly MG32LCD, MG32I, MG32LRF, MG32LED and MG10LEDV/H keypad modules allow you to easily access
your security system's functions and provide you with an easy-to-understand display of your security system's alarm and operational
status. All of the actions performed in your security system will be executed and displayed through the keypad. Therefore, before using
your security system, we highly recommend that you read this manual carefully and have your installer explain basic system operation to
you.

Basic Operations

Auditory Feedback

When you enter information on the keypad, it will guide you with beep tones that communicate acceptance or rejection of your entries.
You should be familiar with these two keypad beep tones:

Confirmation Beep: When an operation (e.g. arming/disarming) is successfully entered on the keypad or when the system switches to a
new status/mode, the keypad produces an intermittent beep tone (“

Rejection Beep: When the system reverts to its previous status or when an operation is incorrectly entered on the keypad, it will emit a
continuous beep tone (“

BEEEEEEEEP”).

Visual Feedback

Keypad Indicator Lights: All keypads include coloured lights which convey the current status of your system. The state of each light
represents a specific condition in your system.

BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP”).

NOTE: Many of the features in your system must be enabled by the installer. If the feature is not programmed, the keypad will emit a rejection beep and

the action will be cancelled. Refer to the

System Checklist on page 16 for details.

Overview of the Keypads

The numbers and keys of the keypad’s screen communicate your system’s status.

Partitioning

Your system is equipped with a partitioning feature that can divide your alarm system into two distinct areas identified as Partition 1 and
Partition 2. Partitioning can be used in installations where shared security systems are more practical, such as a home office or
warehouse building. When partitioned, each zone, each user code and many of your system's features can be assigned to either
Partition 1, Partition 2, or both partitions. If the system is not partitioned, all zones, user codes, and features will be recognized as
belonging to Partition 1.

Advanced StayD Settings

Window Mode and Re-arm Delay

In a Stay-armed system: This mode allows you to open one exterior zone without triggering an alarm. To enter Window mode, press

OFF], then your [ACCESS CODE]. All zones that can be opened flash. The system will start an exit delay, allowing you to open an exterior

[

zone such as a window or a door. The system will only allow you to open one zone as the exit delay will end after doing so. When you
close the open zone (window, door, etc.) that zone will re-arm.
When closing an exterior zone such as a window or door, a delay will start allowing you to close the zone properly. The re-arm delay
starts when you close the zone, and you must keep the zone closed for the entire delay period for it to re-arm. This is especially useful for
windows that stick thus reducing false ala rms.

Live View Mode

During an alarm, press the [CLEAR] key to view movement. The zone lights on the keypad will show the opening and closing of zones as
they occur.

Magellan / Spectra SP 7

Programming Access Codes

Access codes are personal identification numbers that allow you to enter certain programming modes, arm or disarm your system as well
as activate or deactivate PGMs. For information on how each access code can arm or disarm the system refer to the System Checklist on
page 16. The system supports the following:

• 1 System Master Code

• 2 Master Codes

• 29 User Access Codes

System Master Code (Default: 123456)

The System Master Code can arm or disarm any partition using any of the methods described in this section and can create, modify or
delete any user access code.

Master Codes

Master Code 1 is permanently assigned to Partition 1 and can be used to create, modify or delete user access codes that are assigned
to Partition 1. Master Code 2 is permanently assigned to Partition 2 (Exception: When partitioning is disabled, Master Code 2 will be
assigned to Partition 1) and can be used to create, modify or delete user access codes that are assigned to the same partition. Master
Codes cannot modify or delete user access codes assigned to both partitions. Only the System Master Code can modify or delete user
access codes assigned to both partitions.

Duress Code

If you are forced to arm or disarm your system, entering the access code with the duress option enabled will arm or disarm the system
and immediately transmit a silent alert (Duress Code) to the monitoring station. The duress code must be enabled by your installer.

Access Code Length

Your system can be programmed to use either 4- or 6-digit access codes, where each digit can be any value from 0 to 9. Six-digit codes
are considered more difficult to “crack” and therefore, more secure. Avoid programming simple or obvious access codes, such as your
telephone number, address or codes such as 1234. See the Master Quick Menu on inside cover.

Bypass Programming. Enter the two digit zone you wish to bypass and press [

Regular Arming

This method will arm all the zones in the selected partition. Please note that Regular arming can also be activated using Auto-Arming (see

Auto-Arming on page 10) or One-Touch arming (see One-Touch Arming on page 10).

How do I Regular arm?

Sleep Arming

Similar to Stay arming, Sleep arming allows users to remain in a protected ar ea, bu t provi des a h igh er level of prote ctio n. For example, in
a two-story house, the perimeter is protected with Stay arming. With Sleep arming, the perimeter as well as the main floor are protected
(motion detectors, etc.), allowing you to roam the second floor and sleeping quarters. Sleep zones are zones that are bypassed when
Sleep arming. For example, when you go to sleep at night, the entire premises except your bedroom is fully armed. Sleep arming can
also be activated using Auto-Arming (see Auto-Arming on page 10) or One-Touch arming (see One-Touch Arming on page 10).

Stay Arming

This method allows you to roam freely within the premises while the perimeter is fully armed. Stay zones are zones that are bypassed
when Stay arming. For example, if you plan on staying in for the night, doors and windows can be armed without arming other zones like
motion detectors. Stay arming can also be activated using Auto-Arming (see Auto-Arming on page 10) or One-Touch arming (see One-

system will bypass any open zones.

Disarming & Deactivating an Alarm

To disarm an armed system or an alarm, press [OFF] and enter your [ACCESS CODE]. An entry point, like the front door, will be
programmed with one of two Entry Delay Timers. When an entry point is opened, the keypad will beep until you disarm the system. Your
alarm system will not generate an alarm until this timer elapses. Any user can disarm a partition they have been assigned to, except
users assigned with the Arm Only Option or PGM Only Option.To disarm alarms generated by a Delayed Fire Zone, refer to Fire Alarms

on page 12.

Manual Bypass Programming

Manual Bypass Programming allows you to program the alarm system to ignore (deactivate) specified zones the next time the system is
armed. For example, you may wish to bypass certain zones when workers are renovating part of your home. Once the system is
disarmed, the bypass entries are erased. When zones are bypassed, the [

Manual Bypass Programming can also be activated by using One-Touch Bypass Programming. If One-Touch Bypass Programming is

System Features 4

Display Mode (MG32LRF only)

The MG32LRF has two display modes. By default, the keypad will show all events (e.g. zones in alarm, bypassed zones, etc.) live as
they occur. Alternatively, the system can be programmed by your installer to only displ ay zones that caus e an a larm or entry de lay. If you

want to see the status of all zones, press the [] key. Zones that are open but have not triggered an alarm will only be displayed after
pressing the [] key. The information will be displayed for 30 seconds, showing the status of all zones at the time the [] key was

pressed. The zone display will shut off after 30 seconds. For more information on the two display modes, contact your installer.

Alarm Display

If an alarm has occurred on a zone, the respective zone LED will flash, the [MEM] key will light up, and the zones will be stored in memory.
These respective LEDs will continue to flash until disarming even if the zones are restored. To exit this mode and switch to live display
mode before disarming, press the [
lit. Press the [MEM] key to illuminate the LEDs corresponding to the zones that were in alarm. The alarm memory will be erased when the
next alarm occurs and after a valid code is entered or upon full-arming the system.

Fire Alarms

Upon a fire alarm, the bell/siren will emit three “squawks” at 2 second intervals until silenced or reset by entering a vali d access code. If
the zone is a Delayed Fire Zone, there is a delay before the system contacts the monitoring station. This will prevent unnecessary

reporting of false alarms. If there is no fire condition, contact your monitoring station immediately to avoid an unnecessary response.

Minimizing Fire Hazards

The three most common causes of fires:
Cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the U.S. It's also the leading cause of fire injuries. Cooking fires often result from
unattended cooking and human error, rather than mechanical failure of stoves or ovens. Careless smoking is the leading cause of fire
deaths. Smoke detectors and smolder-resistant bedding and upholstered furniture are significant fire deterrents. Heating is the second
leading cause of residential fires. However, heating fires are a larger problem in single family homes than in apartments since the heating
systems in single family homes are often not professionally maintained.

Fire Safety Tips

In the event of a fire, escape first, then call for help. Develop a home fire escape plan and designate a meeting place outside. Make sure
everyone in the family knows two ways to escape from every room. Practice feeling your way out with your eyes closed. Never stand up
in a fire, always crawl low under the smoke and try to keep your mouth covered. Never return to a burning building for any reason; it may
cost you your life. Finally, having at least one working smoke alarm dramatically increases your chan ces of surviving a fire. And
remember to practice a home escape plan frequently with your family.

CLEAR] key within 30 seconds of the alarm.

CLEAR] key again.

Providing a Fire Warning System

Household fires are especially dangerous at night. Fires produce smoke and deadly gases that can overcome occupants while they
sleep. To warn against fire, smoke detectors should be installed outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the
bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit, including basements.

Panic Alarms

In case of an emergency, the system can provide three panic alarms that can immediately generate an alarm after simultaneously
pressing and holding two specific keys for three seconds. Based on your needs, these panic alarms can generate audible alarms (sirens
or bells) or silent alarms and can communicate specific messages to your monitoring station. For instance, pressing [1] and [3] can mean
“call the police” or anything you require. This feature must be set by your installer.

Press and hold keys [1] and [3] for the police.
Press and hold keys [4] and [6] for a medical alarm.
Press and hold keys [7] and [9] for a fire alarm.

Limitations of Alarm Systems

We strongly advise that you review and take into consideration the “Limitations of Alarm Systems” document available on our website at http://paradox.com/Terms/.
Warning for Connections to Non-Traditional Telephony (e.g. VoIP)
Paradox alarm equipment was designed to work effectively around traditional telephone systems. For those customers who are using a Paradox alarm panel connected to a

non-traditional telephone system, such as "Voice Over Internet Protocol" (VoIP) that converts the voice signal from your telephone to a digital signal traveling over the Internet,
you should be aware that your alarm system may not function as effectively as with traditional telephone systems.

For example, if your VoIP equipment has no battery back-up, during a power failure your system's ability to transmit signals to the central station may be compromised. Or, if
your VoIP connection becomes d isabled, your tele phone line monitoring featur e may also be compromised. Other concerns would in clude, without limit ation, Intern et connection
failures which may be more frequent than regular telephone line outages.

We therefore strongly recommend that you discuss these and other limitations involved with operating an alarm system on a VoIP or other non-traditional telephone system with
your installation company. They should be able to offer or recommend measures to reduce the risks involved and give you a better understanding.
