from a key fob. Autobypass must be on for this feature to work. 
Check with your installer to  see how these options are 
programmed for your system. 
Swinger Shutdown 
This setting determines if a sensor or zone will go into alarm only 
once during an arming period (an  active arming level) and will not 
be active again until the alarm is  canceled (Swinger Shutdown is 
enabled) or the sensor or zone will always be active and will go 
into alarm multiple times during  an arming period (an active 
arming level) without canceling the alarm (Swinger Shutdown is 
disabled).   Note
: Swinger Shutdown does not  affect Smoke, Fire, Carbon 
Monoxide and Environmental sensors. 
Ask your installer how this option is programmed and have them 
explain how it will affect your system operation. 
Exit/entry delay

alarms successfully to the central station. 
To test communication wi th the central station: 
1.  Call the central station and tell the operator that you will be  testing the system. 
2.  Arm the system.  3.  Test an emergency panic icon 
and trip at least one sensor of 
each type (fire, intrusion, etc. ) to verify that the appropriate 
alarms are working correctly. There could be a 30 second 
delay on intrusion devices. 
4.  When you finish testing the system, call the central station to  verify that the alarms were received. 
Note : If your system is not connected to a central monitoring 
station you won’t be able to perform the communication test. 
Emergency planning 
Since an emergency is always  unexpected, you should develop 
plans to help prepare for a vari ety of emergencies. Periodically 
discuss and rehearse emergency  plans to include the following: 
•  Understand how to use  your security system. 
•  Know the normal state of do ors and windows: open, closed, 
or locked. 
•  Escape fast! (Do not stop to pack). 
•  Use a different escape route if closed doors feel hot to the  touch. 
•  Crawl and hold your breath as  much as possible to help 
reduce smoke inhalation during your escape. 
•  Meet at a designated outdoor location. 
•  Emphasize that no one should re turn to the premises if there 
is a fire. 
•  Notify the fire department from a neighbor’s phone. 
•  Emphasize that no one should en ter the premises if they hear 
sirens in the house. 
•  If you arrive at the premises an d hear sirens, do no enter. Call 
for emergency assistance with  your cell phone, or from a 
neighbor’s phone.
