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 disabled, your
telephone line monitoring feature may also be compromised. Other concerns would include, without limitation,
Internet 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-tra ditional telephone system with your inst allation company. They should be able
to offer or recommend measures to reduce the risks involved and give you a better understanding.

WARNINGS: Information to User

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B digital devices, pursuant to Part
15 of FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However , there is no guarantee that interfer ence will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to equipment intermittently, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures: (1) re orient or relocate the receiving antenna; (2)
increase the separation between the equipment and receiver; (3) connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit
other than the one to which the receiver is connected, or (4) consult the dealer or an experienced radio/tv
technician for assistance. CAUTION: The user is cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by Paradox Security Systems could void the user’s authority to operate/use the equipment.

User Codes

User codes are personal identification numbers for each user that allow you to enter certain programming
modes, arm or disarm your system, as well as activate or deactivate PGMs. The system supports the following:

• 1 System Master Code

• 2 Master Codes

• 29 User Codes

System Master Code (Default: 123456)

The System Master Code can arm or disarm any partition, and can create, modify or delete any user code.

Master Codes

Master Code 1 is permanently assigned to Partition 1 and can be used to create, modify or delete user 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 codes that are assigned to the same partition.

NOTE:

Code can modify or delete user codes assigned to both partitions.

Duress Code

If you are forced to arm or disarm your system, entering the user 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.

Master Codes cannot modify or delete user codes assigned to both partitions. Only the System Master

User Code Length

Your system can be programmed to use either 4- or 6-digit user 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 user codes, such as your telephone number, address, or codes such as 1234.

Auditory Feedback

When you enter information on the keypad, it will guide you with beep tones that communicate confirmation 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 (“

BEEP”).

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 (“

The following are other types of auditory feedback, and will always be accompanied by the flashing of an arm
key or LED ([

• Continuous beep = Alarm

• Variable beep = Fire alarm

• Intermittent beep = Beginning of exit delay

• Fast Intermittent beep = Last 10 seconds of exit delay

ARM], [STAY], or [SLEEP]):

BEEEEEEEEP”).

Visual Feedback

The keypad includes colored lights which convey the current status of your system. The state of each light
represents a specific condition in your system.

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 Zone Settings on page 3 for
details.

Keypad Muting

When muted, the keypad will only emit the confirmation beep and rejection beep, and will beep when a key is
pressed. Therefore, when muted, the keypad will not beep during an alarm and will not beep for chime enabled
zones. Each keypad must be muted separately.

How do I mute the keypad?
