Arming the System
Arming in Stay Mode
Use this mode when you are staying home, but expect someone to use the entrance door
later.  Close all protected perimeter windows and doors before arming.  The green
READY indicator on the keypad should be lit if the system is ready to be armed.
To arm in STAY mode: 
                       + STAY  OR press and hold STAY **
Your security code**
** See Quick Arming paragraph.
The keypad beeps three times and displays the armed STAY message. The red ARMED
indicator lights and the system announces “armed STAY–exit now.”
When armed in STAY mode, the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or
window is opened, but you may otherwise move freely throughout the premises. Late
arrivals can enter through the entrance door without causing an alarm, but they must
disarm the system within the entry delay period or an alarm will occur.
Restarting Exit Delay While System Armed
Ask your installer if this feature is active for your system. If active, you can restart the exit
delay at any time after arming in STAY mode.  This is useful if you wish to open the
entry/exit door to let someone in after arming the system, and avoids having to disarm the
system and then re-arm it again.
To restart exit delay while system is armed in STAY mode: Press 
STAY key
Arming In Away Mode
Use this mode when no one will be staying on the premises. Close all protected perimeter
windows and doors before arming. The green READY indicator on the keypad should be
lit if the system is ready to be armed.
To arm in AWAY mode: 
                        + AWAY  OR press and hold AWAY **
Your security code**
** See Quick Arming paragraph.
The keypad beeps twice, or beeps continuously if exit warning has been programmed for
your system, and displays the armed AWAY message. The red ARMED indicator lights
and the system announces “armed AWAY–exit now.”
When armed in AWAY mode, the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or
window is opened, or if any movement is detected inside the premises. You may leave
through the entrance door during the exit delay period without causing an alarm. You may
also re-enter through the entrance door, but you must disarm the system within the
entry delay period or an alarm will occur.

Arming the System
Arming the System With No Delay
Use NO DELAY with STAY mode when you are staying home and do not expect anyone
to use the entrance door.
Use NO DELAY with AWAY mode when the premises will be vacant for extended
periods of time such as vacations, etc.
When armed with NO DELAY, the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or
window is opened, including the entrance door. You may leave through the entrance door
during the exit delay period without causing an alarm, but an alarm will sound as soon as
someone reenters.
To arm with NO DELAY:  
                         + AWAY or STAY  +  NO DELAY 
Your security code**
** See Quick Arming paragraph.
Quick Arming
If Quick Arm was programmed by the installer, you do not need to enter the security code
to arm the system.  Instead, simply press and hold down the desired arming key for at
least 2 seconds.  The security code must always be used to disarm the system, however.
To arm if Quick Arm is active:  
AWAY or STAY 
hold down for at least 2 seconds
To arm with NO DELAY if Quick Arm is active:  AWAY or STAY  then NO DELAY 
hold down for at least 2 seconds
IMPORTANT: The Babysitter Code and Installer Code cannot disarm the system unless
it was used to arm the system. In addition, if the system is armed by pressing and holding
the Quick-Arm buttons, neither the Babysitter Code nor Installer Code can disarm the
system.

Entry/Exit Delays
Exit Delay
Exit delay begins immediately after arming the system, and gives you time to leave
through the designated exit door without setting off an alarm.  A slow beeping will sound
throughout the exit delay period, if programmed.
Exit AlarmsExit Alarm Active     
  
To minimize false alarms sent to the alarm monitoring company, your system may have
been programmed for this feature. Ask your installer if Exit Alarm is active for your
system.    
Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior zone
is faulted when the exit delay ends (e.g., exit door left open), the system sounds an alarm
and starts the entry delay timer. If you disarm the system before the entry delay ends, the
alarm sound stops and the message CA is displayed on the keypad, along with a zone
number indicating the faulted zone. No message is sent to the alarm monitoring company.
To clear the exit alarm condition, the open zone must be made re-secured; to clear the
display, enter your code plus OFF.
If you do not disarm the system before the entry delay ends, and an entry/exit door or
interior zone is still open, the alarm sound continues and an exit alarm message is sent
to the alarm monitoring company. The message EA is displayed on the keypad, along
with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. To stop the alarm, the system must be
disarmed (your code plus OFF); to clear the display, enter your code plus OFF a second
time.  An exit alarm also results if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two
minutes after the end of the exit delay.
Entry Delay
Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the
designated entrance door. You must disarm the system before the entry delay period ends,
or an alarm will occur. The keypad beeps during the entry delay period, reminding you to
disarm the system. There are two entry delays (if programmed). The first is for your
primary entrance and the second can be used for a secondary entrance, where a longer
delay is required to walk to the keypad to disarm the system.
You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by using the 
NO DELAY key when
arming. This can provide greater security while on the premises or while away for
extended periods of time. See ARMING THE SYSTEM section for procedure.
See your installer for delay times programmed for your system.
Exit Delay:              
  00-99 seconds
Entry Delay 1:         
  00-99 seconds Entry Delay 2:           00-99 seconds

Disarming the System
Use the OFF key to disarm the system and to silence alarm and trouble sounds. See the
SUMMARY OF AUDIBLE NOTIFICATION section for information which will help you
to distinguish between fire and burglary alarm sounds.
IMPORTANT: If you return and the main burglary sounder is on, DO NOT enter the
premises, but call the police from a nearby safe location. If you return after an alarm has
occurred and the main sounder has shut itself off, the keypad will beep rapidly upon
entering, indicating that an alarm has occurred during your absence and an intruder may
still be on the premises. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from
a nearby safe location.
To disarm the system and silence burglary alarms: * * * *  + OFF 
Your security code
The READY light will light (if no alarms have occurred while armed) and the keypad will
beep once to confirm that the system is disarmed.
Memory of Alarm
If an alarm occurs, the keypad displays the zone number (s) that caused the alarm and the
type of alarm (e.g., “FIRE ALARM”). These messages remain displayed until cleared by
a user.
To clear the display, note the zone number displayed and enter an OFF sequence (enter
your security code and press the 
OFF key).
If the READY light is blinking, go to the displayed zone and correct the fault (close
windows, etc.). If the fault cannot be corrected, notify your alarm company.

Bypassing Protection Zones
Bypassing Individual Zones
Use the BYPASS key when you want to arm your system with one or more zones
intentionally unprotected. Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause an alarm
when violated while your system is armed. All bypasses are removed when an OFF
sequence (security code plus OFF) is performed. Bypasses are also removed if the
arming procedure that follows the bypass command is not successful.
The system will not allow fire zones to be bypassed.
The system must be disarmed first.
To bypass a zone(s):     
                     + BYPASS  + 2-digit zone number(s)
Your security code for zone(s) to be bypassed
(e.g., 01, 02, 03, etc.)
Important! All single-digit numbers must be preceded by a zero (for example, enter 01
for zone 1).
The keypad will display the word “BYPASS” along with each bypassed zone number.
Wait for these zones to be displayed, to be sure that intended zones are bypassed.
Arm the system as usual when the keypad displays the READY LED on steady.
Quick Bypass
Your system may allow you to easily bypass all open (faulted) zones without having to
enter zone numbers individually. Ask your installer if this feature is active.
To bypass a zone(s):     
                     + BYPASS  + WAIT
Your security code
In a few moments, all open zones will be displayed along with the word “BYPASS.” Wait
for these zones to be displayed before arming. Arming the system before zones are
displayed eliminates all bypasses.
Arm the system as usual when the keypad displays the READY LED on steady.
Displaying Bypassed Zones
The system allows you to determine what zones have been previously bypassed. Bypassed
zones can be displayed only when the system is disarmed, and when the “BYPASS”
message described above is displayed.
To display bypassed zone(s):     
                     + BYPASS  + WAIT
Your security code
In a few moments, all open zones will be sequentially displayed along with the word
“BYPASS.”

Panic Keys / Chime Mode
Panic Keys
Your system may have been programmed to use special keys to manually activate panic
functions. The functions that might be programmed are listed below. See your installer for
the function(s) that may have been programmed for your system.
Your installer should
note the functions that
are active in your
system.
Active Panic Functions
Keys Zone Function
1 and T95
3 and # 96
T and # 99
To use a paired key panic function, simply press both keys of the assigned pair at the
same time. If your keypad has lettered keys for panic functions, press the designated key
and hold down for at least 2 seconds to activate the panic function.
Types of Panic Alarms
A silent emergency sends an alarm signal to the alarm monitoring company
,† but there
will be no audible alarms or visual displays.
An audible emergency sends an emergency message to the alarm monitoring company
†
and sounds a loud, steady alarm at your keypad and at any external sounders that may be
connected (“ALARM” plus a zone number are also displayed).
A personal emergency alarm sends an emergency message to the alarm monitoring
company
† and sounds at keypads, but not at external sounders. (“ALARM” plus a zone
number are also displayed).
A fire alarm sends a fire alarm message to the alarm monitoring company
† and uniquely
activates keypad and any external sounders (“FIRE ALARM” plus a zone number are
also displayed).
† If your system is connected to an alarm monitoring company
Chime Mode
Your system can be set to alert you to the opening of a door or window while it is
disarmed by using CHIME mode. When activated, three beeps will sound at the keypad
whenever a protected perimeter door is opened and the zone voice descriptor will be
announced. Pressing the 
STATUS key will display the open protection points.
Note that the Chime mode can be turned on only when the system is disarmed.
To turn Chime mode on or off: FUNCTION
 
 + CHIME 
The “CHIME” message displays while Chime mode is on, and disappears from the
display when Chime mode is off.

Paging Feature
Automatic Paging
If the Paging feature has been programmed for your system, your pager will respond to
certain conditions as they occur in your system by displaying a message that indicates the
type of condition that has occurred. The message appears in a 7-digit format explained
below. The system can also be programmed to send up to 16 additional digits that will
appear in front of the 7-digit message. These 16 digits may consist of a PIN number or
special digits needed by the pager, account number, pauses, or any other special
characters you may choose (for example, you may want to use a special character code to
distinguish between security system messages and usual pager messages). See your
installer if these additional characters are desired.
Code Format
The Pager Code takes the following form:
(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA) EEE-00NN
AAA… = Optional 16 digits, programmed by your installer.
EEE      =   3-digit number describing the event that has occurred, as follows:
911 = Alarm (00NN following indicates the zone that caused the alarm)
101 = Open, system disarmed (00NN following indicates user number)
102 = Close, system armed (00NN following indicates user number)
811 = Trouble (00NN following indicates the zone that caused the trouble)
00NN   = First two digits are always 00, followed by 2-digit user or zone number,
depending on the type of event that occurred. If NN = 00, it can mean an AC
loss has occurred, the system battery is low, or a 5827/5827BD wireless
keypad battery is low. The Master Keypad will indicate the specific condition.
Examples:
Pager displays:  911–0004
 
This indicates your system is reporting an alarm (911) due to a fault on zone 4 (0004).
Pager displays:  101–0005
 
This indicates that your system is reporting an open/disarm (101) by user 5 (0005).
Manual Paging
In addition, your system may have been programmed to send a unique pager message
when the 
AUX key is pressed (see AUX FUNCTION section for alternate function of this
key). The actual message sent is 999-9999 (the hyphen may not appear, depending on
your pager service). This code can be used to alert the person with the pager to whatever
meaning you pre-arrange (e.g., “call home”).  Ask your installer if this has been done for
your system.
To manually send the pager message, if programmed: 
AUX (hold until 4 beeps sound)
