WARNING: The rechargeable battery that comes with your Touchscreen is only
available through your service operator. If your battery needs to be replaced,
contact your service operator to arrange for replacement.
1 Using the Touchscreen
Congratulations on your purchase of the RB6741-Z Touchscreen.
The RB6741-Z Touchscreen is the center of your home security system. This Androidpowered device allows you to perform actions such as arming and disarming your security
system, monitoring the status of your security sensors, and sending emergency alarms.
This Quick Start Guide provides an overview of the Touchscreen and its basic operation.
This guide assumes the Touchscreen has been activated and you have been assigned a
security code. For more information, refer to the RB6741-Z Touchscreen Security System
Installation Manual and the RB6741-Z Touchscreen Security System User Manual. For
detailed information about operating an Android device, refer to the Android documentation
provided by Google.
Figure 1-1 shows the major components of the Touchscreen and Table 1-1 describes them.

Understanding the Screen
The Touchscreen communicates with your security system. It combines security and home
controls on an intuitive graphical interface to provide:
A real-time view of the system statuses
Tools to manage your security system
Additional optional applications such as news and weather
The first screen displayed is the Home screen. From this screen, you tap buttons to navigate
through menus to access the functions you desire. If the screen is black (showing nothing), it
means the system is not receiving A/C power or the display is powered off to conserve
battery life.
The screen is organized into the following operational sections:
Security Status Header – see “Security Status Header” on page 3
System & Zone Trouble Header – see “System & Zone Trouble Header” on page 4
Content Area – see “Content Area” on page 5

Security Status Header
The Security Status header appears in the top-left area of the Touchscreen. It tells you
whether the system is armed or disarmed and other information. Tap this header to arm or
disarm the system.
Problems that Prevent Arming
If you encounter problems that would prevent arming, such as a monitored door or window
being opened, an announcement replaces the Arm/Disarm status.
Exit Delay
During the Exit Delay, the header announces the number of seconds until the system is
armed.
Entry Delay
During the Entry Delay, the header announces the number of seconds before the alarm
sounds.
