Operation
Use this document to quickly begin operating your Simon
XT TableTop security system (model 600-1054-95R-ITT).
Refer to your Simon XT TableTop User Manual for full
operating details and programming options.
Note: The default master code is 1-2-3-4 when the security
system is shipped from the factory. You should change your
code after your system is installed.
To operate the security system:
• Use the front panel buttons to arm/disarm the system
when you enter or exit your home and to determine
which sensors are active and the system status.
• Use the three fast action keys to communicate with the
central monitoring station to report police, fire, or
emergency alarms.
• Use a combination of the panel buttons and the display
menu to program certain user features. This method is
used by your installer to establish your system
configuration. (Refer to your Simon XT TableTop User
Manual.)
Table 1 below describes the panel keys and features.

Trouble beeps
Your security system is able to automatically test itself for:
• Power failures
• Low batteries
• Nonworking sensors
• Communication trouble with the central monitoring
station
When your system detects one of the problems above, six
rapid beeps sound every minute until the trouble condition
is corrected. To stop the trouble beeps, press Status or arm
and then disarm the system while the trouble condition
exists. Trouble beeps will resume 4 hours later unless the
trouble condition is corrected. Refer to your Simon XT
TableTop User Manual for details.
Table 4 below describes the siren sounds used by the
security system.

Chimes
Use the chime feature to signal when a protected door is
opened while the system is disarmed. The panel chimes
twice when a chime sensor is tripped, if the chime mode is
enabled. This feature allows you to be notified when family
members are going in and out of your home. The chime
and special chime features are turned on or off in the
System menu.
Note: If there are no chime sensors in your system, the
chime option will not appear in the System menu.
Your installer may have programmed the system to speak
the sensor name or make a custom chime sound when a
chime sensor is tripped. The chime sound, if programmed,
will be played in place of the standard chime beeps.
To enable or disable the chime feature:
1. Scroll until the display shows
Enter. The current setting will flash.
2. Scroll to toggle the chime feature on or off, and then
press Enter. The setting will stop flashing.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a residential environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
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:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

A solid bell icon will appear in the display when the chime
feature is enabled.
Special chime
The special chime feature allows you to install motion
sensors in a patio or at the front door, and be notified when
someone is approaching those areas. These motion sensors
are not used for intrusion protection. The panel will chime
three times, if the special chime mode is enabled.
Note: If there are no special chime sensors in your system,
the special chime option will not appear in the menu.
To enable or disable the special chime feature:
1. Scroll until the display shows
