Introduction to Your System
This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and emergency.
Monitoring is accomplished with various contact and motion sensors for perimeter
and interior burglary protection, plus strategically placed smoke, heat, or
combustion detectors.
Burglary Protection
The burglary protection portion of your system must be turned on or "armed" before
it will sense burglary alarm conditions. Your system provides three modes of
burglary protection: Away, Stay, and Night, and even allows you to “bypass”
selected zones of protection while leaving the rest of the system armed (e.g. this
enables you to arm the system but leave upper-story windows open.)
The system also provides a Chime mode, for alerting users to the opening and
closing of doors and windows even while the system is disarmed.
System Overview
Partitions
This system provides the ability to arm and disarm up to eight different areas, each
as if it had its own control. These areas are called partitions. Partitions are used
when the user wants to disarm certain areas while leaving other areas armed, or to
limit access to certain areas to specific individuals. Each user of the system can be
authorized to operate all or only some partitions, and can be given different
privileges in each. Information about Partitions is presented later in this document.
Zones
Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones." For example,
the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned to zone 001,
sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 002, and so on. These
numbers will appear on the display, along with a Custom English descriptor for that
zone (if programmed), when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.
Entry/Exit Delays
Your system has preset time delays, referred to as exit delay and entry delay.
Whenever you arm your system, exit delay gives you time to leave through the
designated exit door without setting off an alarm. Exit delay begins immediately
after entering any arming command, and applies to all modes of arming protection.
If programmed, a slow beeping will sound throughout the exit delay period.
Entry delay gives you time to disarm the system when you reenter through the
designated entrance door. But the system must be disarmed before the entry delay
period ends, or an alarm will occur. The Keypad will beep during the entry delay
period, reminding you to disarm the system. Ask your installer about the delay
times programmed into your system.
11
System Overview (cont'd)
Alarms
When an alarm occurs, Symphony (and any other Keypads) and external sounders
will sound, and the zone(s) causing the alarm are displayed. If your system is
connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm message will also be sent. To
stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system.
Memory of Alarm
When an alarm condition occurs, the number(s) of the zone(s) that caused the
problem are displayed, along with the type of alarm (e. g. FIRE, ALARM). These
remains displayed until cleared by disarming the system.
Fire Protection
The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always on and will
sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected.
User Codes
Each user must be assigned a name with a corresponding 4-digit user code in order
to gain access to various features and functions. Through Symphony, you may
program users to access any and all of the following systems:
Fire/Burglary
•
Message Center
•
Internet
•
Users for the systems are programmed in a central user setup location that provides
the specific questions for the user pertaining to each system. You may want these
users to be the same, but there are situations in which you may want a user to have
access to one system (e.g., Message Center) without having access to another (e.g.,
the Fire/Burglary system).
Internet Features
As a household Internet appliance, Symphony provides access to a wealth of
information, including:
News
•
Sports
•
Weather
•
E-mail, and
•
Updates of user-selectable content such as your horoscope.
•
12
Additionally, you may control all of Symphony’s functions from any personal
computer or laptop that has Internet capabilities, including security system
functions (arming, disarming, etc.) and to check to see if you have a voice message.
Message Center Features
Message Center is an option available with Symphony, which provides you and your
family with the conveniences of a full-featured digital answering machine. In
addition to all the features of a digital answering system, Message Center offers
much more, including caller ID (if service is available), multiple mailboxes, a memo
feature, and a unique Privacy feature that enables you to divert ALL calls to the
Message Center mailbox for a duration you select – such as during mealtime, baby’s
nap time, etc. Check with your installer to see if these features have been enabled.
System Basics
Mailboxes -

and users can be assigned access to any combination of mailboxes. This lets each
user listen to his/her own messages without having to listen to messages
intended for the other users
System Overview (Cont'd)
The system has four mailboxes for storing messages and memos,

the caller to leave a message. If multiple mailboxes are in use, the message can
instruct the caller to press a key (1-4) corresponding to the desired user’s
mailbox, and then leave a message. The system then announces the greeting for
that user and automatically stores the caller's message in that mailbox.
Security System -
•
may be used in your system – these provide a two-line LCD display, standard
control keys, plus a speaker/microphone to record and retrieve voice messages.
The system can also be set so that a user's messages are automatically played
whenever that user disarms the security system from a Message Center Keypad.
Playback Upon Disarm
Depending on how Symphony and Message Center are set up, messages can be
played back when the system is disarmed. If multiple users and mailboxes are set
up, the messages for a user can be played back when that user disarms the system
Messages and Memos
Like any digital answering system, Message Center records incoming telephone
messages. Message Center also enables users to record “Memos” for themselves or
for other users. For example, you may record a memo for your child – then when
your child returns from school and disarms the system, your memo is played back
ahead of any telephone messages.
When Message Center answers a call a recorded greeting instructs
In addition to Symphony, special Message Center Keypads
.
Privacy Feature
The Privacy feature turns off all telephone ringers and lets Message Center answer
your calls. This can be useful if you do not wish to be disturbed at certain times.
A simple pull-down menu lets you select the Privacy duration (from 30 minutes to 5
hours). When Privacy is selected (via a check box), Message Center will take all
calls for that duration, or until you turn it off.
13
System Overview (cont'd)
Use the Message Menu to check for any messages that may have been left while
Privacy was turned on.
Extended Functionality
Extended functions are advanced functions that can be accessed through a standard
Custom English Keypad or through emulation mode on your Symphony touch
screen. Refer to your Control Panel User Guide for these features.

How to Disarm Using a Keyswitch
To disarm the partition, turn the key to the right and release. If an alarm has
occurred, the red light will be flashing rapidly (memory of alarm).
How to Check the Status of Other Partitions
This system supports between one and eight Partitions (as configured by your
installer.) Partitioning enables a single physical alarm system to control up to eight
areas of protection (partitions). Each Symphony and Keypad is assigned a default
partition for display purposes, and will show only that partition's information.
For example, if your physical site is a four-apartment housing unit, this alarm
system would be configured with four partitions. Each apartment’s zones (door,
windows, smoke detectors, etc.) are assigned to separate partitions, giving each
apartment independent arming/disarming control of its own partition (area). A
landlord or manager may be granted access to all partitions, so he/she can control
the entire system.
If a user is so authorized, a Symphony or Keypad in one partition can be used to
perform system functions in another partition. (Note that only those partitions
authorized and programmed by the installer can be accessed in this manner.)
To check the status of other partitions perform the following:
ACTION SCREEN
1. From the "Home" screen press the
SECURITY
screen.
2. Press the "Current Partition" tab (lower edge

Introduction to Fire Alarm System Operation
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is on 24 hours a day, providing continuous
protection. In the event of an emergency, the installed smoke and heat detectors
will automatically send signals to your Control/Communicator, triggering a loud
interrupting sound from the Keypad. An interrupted sound will also be produced by
optional exterior sounders. A FIRE message will appear at your Keypad and
remain on until you silence the alarm.
In Case of Fire Alarm
1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors sense the
problem, go to your nearest Keypad and manually initiate an alarm by pressing
the panic key assigned as FIRE emergency (if programmed by the installer) and
hold down for at least 2 seconds.
2. Evacuate all occupants from the premises.
3. If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify your local Fire
Department immediately.
Fire Alarm System Operation
If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the cause of the alarm. The zone
descriptor of the zone(s) in an alarm condition will appear at the Keypad.
Silencing a Fire Alarm
1. Silence the alarm by entering your code and pressing the OFF key. To clear the
display, enter your code and press the OFF key again
2. If the Keypad does not indicate a READY condition after the second OFF
sequence, press the READY key to display the zone(s) that are faulted. Be sure
to check that smoke detectors are not responding to smoke or heat producing
objects in their vicinity. In this case, eliminate the source of heat or smoke.
3. If this does not remedy the problem, there may still be smoke in the detector.
Clear it by fanning the detector for about 30 seconds.
4. When the problem has been corrected, clear the display by entering your code
and pressing the OFF key.
Fire Display Lock
If several zones produce an alarm before any are silenced, the system can be
programmed to lock the Keypad display with the first zone that produced an alarm.
Ask your installer if your system has been activated with this feature. To display
the other zone(s), press the [✴] key for each zone. Also the “A”, “B”, or “C” keys can
be programmed to scroll the Keypad display to view the previous or subsequent fire
alarms.

Recommendations for Proper Protection
THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE LOCATION OF FIRE AND
BURGLARY DETECTION DEVICES HELP PROVIDE PROPER COVERAGE FOR
THE PROTECTED PREMISES.
Recommendations For Smoke And Heat Detectors
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to
the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's
(NFPA) Standard #72 noted below.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection
equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: For minimum
protection a smoke detector should be installed outside of each separate sleeping
area, and on each additional floor of a multi-floor family living unit, including
basements. The installation of smoke detectors
unfinished), or in garages is not normally recommended.
in kitchens, attics (finished or
For additional protection the NFPA recommends that you install heat
or smoke
detectors in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic,
furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached garages.

In addition, we recommend the following:
Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker sleeps.
•
Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone sleeps with the
•
door partly or completely closed. Smoke could be blocked by the closed door.
Also, an alarm in the hallway outside may not wake up the sleeper if the door is
closed.
30
Install a smoke detector inside bedrooms where electrical appliances (such as
•
portable heaters, air conditioners or humidifiers) are used.
Fire Alarm System Operation (Cont'd)
Install a smoke detector at both ends of a hallway if the hallway is more than 40
•
feet (12 meters) long.
Install smoke detectors in any room where an alarm control is located, or in any
•
room where alarm control connections to an AC source or phone lines are made.
If detectors are not so located, a fire within the room could prevent the control
from reporting a fire or an intrusion.
Recommendations For Proper Intrusion Protection
For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of
entry to a home or commercial premises. This would include any skylights that may
be present, and the upper windows in a multi-level building.
In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that
alarm signals can still be sent to the alarm monitoring station in the event that the
telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are normally sent over the phone
lines, if connected to an alarm monitoring station).
Recommendations for Evacuation
Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire. The following
steps are recommended by the National Fire Protection Association:
1. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders so that they can
be heard by all occupants.
2. Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of escape should lead
to the door that permits normal exit from the building. The other may be a window,
should your path be impassable. Station an escape ladder at such windows if there
is a long drop to the ground.
3. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairs and rooftops that
can be used to escape. Indicate escape routes for each room. Keep these routes free
from obstruction and post copies of the escape routes in every room.
4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. This will prevent
deadly smoke from entering while you escape.
5. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape route. If the door is
cool, open it cautiously. Be prepared to slam the door if smoke or heat rushes in.
6. Where smoke is present, crawl on the ground; do not walk upright. Smoke rises
and may overcome you. Clearer air is near the floor.
7. Escape quickly; don't panic.
31
Fire Alarm System Operation (cont'd)
8. Establish a common meeting place outdoors, away from your house, where
everyone can meet and then take steps to contact the authorities and account for
those missing. Choose someone to assure that nobody returns to the house — many
die going back.

Introduction to User Code Setup
Each user must be assigned a name with a corresponding 4-digit user code in order
to gain access to various features and functions. Through Symphony, you may
program users to access any and all of the following systems:
Fire/Burglary
•
Message Center
•
Internet
•
Users for the systems are programmed in a central user setup location that provides
the specific questions for the user pertaining to each system. You may want these
users to be the same, but there are situations in which you may want a user to have
access to one system (e.g., Message Center) without having access to another (e.g.,
the Fire/Burglary system).

How to Set Up a User Code for Message Center Use Only
Users that have access to the security system, Internet, and Message Center should
be programmed in the procedure described in Section: User Codes. Users that are
to have access only to the Message Center options (no security or Internet options)
must be programmed here using the procedure described below.
Message Center user numbers and user codes are independent from security system
codes, but, if desired, Message Center can let you control your security system from
a telephone by assigning codes as follows:
If Message Center user code is... That user can access...
Unique to Message Center system, Message Center system only.
Same as a security system user code, Both Message Center and security systems.

Optional Message Center Features
Introduction to Message Center Features
Message Center is an option available with Symphony, which provides you and your
family with the conveniences of a full-featured digital answering machine. In
addition to all the features of a digital answering system, Message Center offers
much more, including caller ID (if service is available), multiple mailboxes, a memo
feature, and a unique Privacy feature that enables you to divert ALL calls to the
Message Center mailbox for a duration you select – such as during mealtime, baby’s
nap time, etc.
System Basics
Mailboxes -
•
memos, and users can be assigned access to any combination of mailboxes. This
lets each user listen to his/her own messages without having to listen to
messages intended for the other users
The system has up to four mailboxes for storing messages and
Greetings -
•
When Message Center answers a call a recorded greeting instructs
the caller to leave a message. If multiple mailboxes are in use, the message can
instruct the caller to press a key (1-4) corresponding to the desired user’s
mailbox, and then leave a message. The system then announces the greeting for
that user and automatically stores the caller's message in that mailbox.
User Codes -
•
Message Center supports up to five users. Each user needs a 4digit user code. (In addition to the five user codes, the system has one Master
Code and one Installer Code.)
Security System -
•
In addition to Symphony, special Message Center Keypads
may be used in your system – these provide a two-line LCD display, standard
control keys, plus a speaker/microphone to record and retrieve voice messages.
The system can also be set so that a user's messages are automatically played
whenever that user disarms the security system from a Message Center Keypad.
Playback Upon Disarm
Depending on how Symphony and Message Center are set up, messages can be
played back when the system is disarmed. If multiple users and mailboxes are set
up, the messages for a user can be played back when that user disarms the system
.
Messages and Memos
Like any digital answering system, Message Center records incoming telephone
messages. Message Center also enables users to record “Memos” for themselves or
for other users. For example, you may record a memo for your child – then when
your child returns from school and disarms the system, your memo is played back
ahead of any telephone messages.
55
Optional Message Center Features (cont'd)
Privacy Feature
The Privacy feature turns off all telephone ringers and lets Message Center answer
your calls. This can be useful if you do not wish to be disturbed at certain times.
A simple pull-down menu lets you select the Privacy duration (from 30 minutes to 5
hours if enabled at the Symphony). When Privacy is selected (via a check box),
Message Center will take all calls for that duration, or until you turn it off.
Use the Message Menu to check for any messages that may have been left while
Privacy was turned on.
Message Center Operational Structure
Message Center features can be accessed through Symphony, a Message Center
Keypad, and through a telephone. Not all features are accessible through
Symphony and some features are only accessible through a telephone.
Message Center operation is presented first using Symphony, then using a Message
Center Keypad and finally those features that can only be performed through a
telephone provided.

How to Record Outgoing Greetings
When Message Center answers a call, the caller hears a recorded greeting (known
as the outgoing message or OGM). The system includes a pre-recorded greeting, but
if desired, you can record your own greetings.
The greeting can instruct a caller to press a key 1-4 (corresponding to user
mailboxes), that lets the caller record a message in a particular user's mailbox.
When recording a greeting:
1. Be sure to include instructions for callers to press the appropriate key (1-4) corresponding
to the desired mailbox. For example: "To leave a message for Kimberly, press 2; to leave a
message for Kaitlyn, press 3."
2. Leave a few seconds of silence at the end of your greeting to give callers time to make their
selection. This is necessary because callers must make a mailbox selection before the "record
now" beep.

Advanced System Features
Introduction to Advanced System Features
While most of the commonly used security functions are available from Symphony’s
advanced user interface, there are some less used, advanced features that can either
be accessed through Keypad Emulation mode on the Symphony or a standard
Custom English Keypad. To program your systems advanced features, refer to you
Control Panel User Guide.
Keypad (Console) Emulation Mode
Console Mode allows you to use an Symphony interface just as you would a regular
system Keypad. In this mode, you can use either Symphony’s touch screen
"Keypad,” or the Keypad keys (if available on your model). All commands shown in
Console Emulation mode can also be executed from a standard Custom English
Keypad.

Introduction to Maintaining Your System
Replacing Batteries In Wireless Sensors
Wireless sensors may not have been used in your security system.
If your system has wireless sensors, each wireless sensor in your system has a 9volt or 3-volt battery. The system detects a low battery in any wireless sensor,
including smoke detectors, the optional personal emergency transmitter, and the
optional portable wireless Keypad. (A low battery in a portable wireless Keypad is
detected as soon as one of its keys is pressed, and the Keypad will display 00.)
Alkaline batteries provide a minimum of 1 year of operation, and in most units and
applications, provide 2 to 4 years of service. Actual battery life will depend on the
environment in which the sensor is used, the number of signals that the transmitter
in the sensor has had to send, and the specific type of sensor. Factors such as
humidity, high or low temperatures or large swings in temperature, may lead to the
reduction of battery life in an installation. If you have a low battery in a wireless
sensor, a low battery message is displayed on the Keypad.
Maintaining Your System
In addition, a battery-operated smoke detector with a low battery also emits a single
"chirp" sound once every 20 to 30 seconds, identifying itself as the smoke detector
with the weak battery. If you do not replace a smoke detector's low battery, the
smoke detector may sound continuously, as if there were a fire alarm.
The low battery message comes on as a warning that battery replacement in indicated
sensor(s) is due within 30 days. In the meantime, the sensor(s) causing the low battery
indication is still fully operational.
Important:
Use only batteries recommended by your installer as replacement.
Silencing Low Battery Warning Tones at the Keypad
The warning tones can be silenced by performing an OFF sequence (code plus OFF
key), but the low battery display remains on as a reminder that you have a low
battery condition in one or more of your sensors. When you replace the battery, the
sensor sends a "good battery" signal to the panel as soon as the sensor is activated
(opening/closing of door, window, etc.), causing the low battery display to turn off. If
the sensor is not activated, the display automatically clears within 1 hour.

“FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) Part 15 STATEMENT”
This equipment has been tested to FCC requirements and has been found acceptable for use. The FCC requires
the following statement for your information:
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has
been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device in accordance with the
specifications in Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such
interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• If using an indoor antenna, have a quality outdoor antenna installed.
• Reorient the receiving antenna until interference is reduced or eliminated.
• Move the receiver away from the control/communicator.
• Move the antenna leads away from any wire runs to the control/communicator.
• Plug the control/communicator into a different outlet so that it and the receiver are on different branch
circuits.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional
suggestions.
The user or installer may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission helpful:
“Interference Handbook”
This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402.
The user shall not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless authorized by the Installation
Instructions or User’s Manual. Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operate

CANADIAN DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS (DOC) STATEMENT
NOTICE
The Canadian Department of Communications label
identifies certified equipment. This certification means that
the equipment meets certain telecommunications network
protective, operational and safety requirements. The
Department does not guarantee the equipment will
operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that
it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the
local telecommunications company. The equipment must
also be installed using an acceptable method of
connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring
associated with a single line individual service may be
extended by means of certified connector assembly
(telephone extension cord). The customer should be
aware that compliance with the above conditions may not
prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an
authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by
the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user
to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give
the telecommunications company cause to request the
user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the
electrical ground connections of the power utility,
telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if
present, are connected together. This precaution may be
particularly important in rural areas.
Caution:
connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as
appropriate.
The Load Number
denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected
to a telephone loop which is used by the device, to
prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may
consist of any combination of devices subject only to the
requirement that the total of the Load Numbers of all the
devices does not exceed 100.

matériel est conforme à certaines normes de protection,
d’exploitation et de sécurité des réseaux de
télécommunications. Le ministère n’assure toutefois pas que
le matériel fonctionnera à la satisfaction de l’utilisateur.
Avant d’installer ce matériel, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer qu’il
est permis de le raccorder aux installations de l’entreprise
locale de télécommunications. Le matériel doit également être installé en suivant une méthode acceptée de
raccordement. Dans certains cas, les fils intérieurs de
l’entreprise utilisés pour un service individuel à la ligne
unique peuvent être prolongés au moyen d’un dispositif
homologué de raccordement (cordon prolongateur
téléphonique interne). L’abonné ne doit pas oublier qu’il est
possible que la conformité aux conditions énoncées cidessus n’empèchet pas la dégradation du service dans
certaines situations. Actuellement, les entreprises de
télécommunications ne permettent pas que l’on raccorde leur
matériel aux prises d’abonnés, sauf dans les cas precis
prévus par les tarifs particuliers de ces entreprises.
Les réparations du matériel homologué doivent être
effectuées pas un centre d’entretien canadien autorisé
désigné par le fournisseur. La compagnie de
télécommunications peut demander à l’utilisateur de
débrancher un appareil à la suite de réparations ou de
modifications effectuées par l’utilisateur ou à cause de
mauvais fonctionnement.
Pour sa propre protection, l’utilisateur doit s’assurer que tous
les fils de mise en terre de la source d’énergie électrique, des
lignes téléphoniques de réseau de conduites d’eau s’il y en
a, soient raccordés ensemble. Cette précaution est
particulièrement importante dans les régions rurales.

d’inspection des installations électriques, ou à un électricien,
selon le cas.

pour éviter toute surcharge indique le pourcentage de la
charge totale qui peut être raccordé à un circuit téléphonique
bouclé utilisé par ce dispositif. La terminaison du circuit
bouclé peut être constituée de n’importe quelle combinaison
de dispositifs, pourvu que la somme des indices de charge
de l’ensemble des dispositifs ne dépasse pas 100.
