Checking System Status
General Information
Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows, and other protection zones
must be closed or bypassed (see the BYPASSING PROTECTION section). Pressing the
STATUS key will announce all zones that are faulted, as well as any other abnormal
system condition, making it easier for you to secure any open zones.
READY LIGHT:  The green READY indicator on the keypad will be lit if the system is
ready to be armed.  If blinking, the system is not ready.
Press the  STATUS Key
Press the STATUS key once to announce the general status of the system. The following
phrases may be heard depending on the current state of the system:
disarmed, ready to arm [message] [check system]
disarmed, [not ready to arm], [message]
armed [away] [stay] [instant] [check system]
NOTE: Phrases in brackets are variable, and are announced only if appropriate in the
current state of the system
Press the 
STATUS key twice† to announce specific system status. The following phrases
may be heard depending on the current state of the system:
fire alarm [zone voice descriptors]
alarm [zone voice descriptors]
fire fault [zone voice descriptors]

low battery  [zone voice descriptor]
system low battery

  (second press must be within 5 seconds of first press)
VOLUME LEVEL: The volume level of system announcements can be increased or
decreased.  Refer to the MESSAGE RECORDING/PLAYBACK section for the procedure.

The READY light will be lit when all protection zones have been either closed or
bypassed.
You may now arm the system as usual.
