 Lost Key Mode
 
 
 
 In the event that the keys to your deadbolt are lost or stolen, the system may still be used by 
arming in the Lost Key mode.  In Lost Key mode, the system may be armed as usual, however 
unlocking the deadbolt will 
not disarm the system.  The system may 
only be disarmed with the 
EZ-IFOB digital key. 
 
Simultaneously hold down the 
STAY
 and 
AW AY
 buttons for 4 seconds to put the system in 
the Lost Key mode.  The Trouble 
TBL light will begin to pulse.  The system may be armed as 
usual, however, it may only be disarmed with your EZ-IFOB.  To confirm system is in Lost Key 
mode, press SILENCE.  The TBL light will pulse 6 times.  Press SILENCE again to stop dis-
play Trouble. 
 
When arriving home to an armed system, open your Entry door and enter the premises.  The 
EZ Touchpad sounder will sound to remind you to disarm the system.  You must insert the EZ-
IFOB into the EZ-IFOB slot to disarm the system within 30 seconds, or the alarm will sound. 
 
NOTE: If your deadbolt key is lost, it is important that you have your locksmith re-key the 
deadbolt, or have the deadbolt replaced as soon as possible.  In addition, we strongly recom-
mend keeping your EZ-IFOB on a different key ring as your deadbolt key. 
 
To exit lost key mode and return to normal operation, simultaneously hold down the STAY and 
AWAY buttons for 4 seconds.  The TBL light will stop flashing.

mation must be provided to the telephone company. 
This equipment uses the following jacks: An RJ31 X is used to connect this equipment to the telephone network. 
The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive IRENs on the 
telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call, in most, but not all areas, the sum of the 
RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by 
the total RENs, contact the telephone company to determine the maximum REN for the calling area. 
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary dis-
continuance of service may be required. If advance notice is not practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as

WARNING! THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM 
 
While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary or fire or other 
emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of 
reasons. For example:  •
Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor or 
disconnect an alarm warning device. 
•
Intrusion detectors (e.g. passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not work without 
power. Battery operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not put in properly. 
Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly. 
•
Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if the 
signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the path. 
•
A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough. 
•
Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in their installation 
manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, 
and intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot detect motion or intrusion 
that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows. Mechanical tampering, 
masking, painting or spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce their de-
tection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambient temperature of protected 
area approaches the temperature range of 90° to 105°F (32° to 40°C), the detection performance can decrease. 
•
Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the 
other side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices sound on a different level of the premises, then they are less 
likely to alert all people. Persons may not hear the warning if the alarm is muffled from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other 
appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people. 
•Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to an alarm monitoring center may be out of service 
or temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders.

WARNING! THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM (Continued) 
 •Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect them-
selves from the situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond appropriately. 
 •This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last 
as long as 10 years, the electronic components could fail at any time. 
 
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion occurs is inadequate maintenance. This alarm 
system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are working properly. 
 
Wireless transmitters (used with some systems) are designed to provide long battery life under normal operating conditions. 
Longevity of batteries may be as much as 4 to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless device 
being used. External factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature, may all reduce 
the actual battery life in a given installation. This wireless system, however, can identify a true low battery situation, thus allow-
ing time to arrange a change of battery to maintain protection for that given point within the system. 
 
Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insur-
ance. Business owners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and continue to 
insure their lives and property. 
 
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices.  Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves and their employ-
ees to learn about these developments.
