							Access codes 
There are three types of access codes:  
Master code. The master code is your most powe rful code and can be used for all 
user operations including programming. The initial value of the master code is 123, 
1234, 12345, or 123456, depending on the in staller-programmed access code length. 
User codes 1 to 8.  There are eight user codes, wh ich can be used for many user 
operations, but not programming or bypassing  sensors. Initially, all user codes are 
blank. A user code can be deleted by pr essing Delete while the code is being 
changed. 
Duress code.  The duress code, when used in place of another user code, generates a 
silent duress alarm that is  reported to the central monito ring station. Initially, the 
duress code is blank. The duress code can be deleted by pressing Delete while the 
code is being changed.

Sensor testing notes 
• 

Conduct sensor test in all possible enviro nmental conditions (for example: interior 
doors open and closed, HVAC system on and off, wireless music  system turned on 
and off). 
•  Conduct sensor test whenever changes ar e made to the installation environment 
that may impact RF performance (for ex ample: mirrors installed, metal backed 
wall paper, addition of other RF equipment). 
•  If a sensor doesn’t meet minimum packe t requirements, contact your installer.

							Reference information 
This section provides information on system limitations, emergency planning and 
smoke and heat detector locations. It also provides a place to list your sensor and 
module locations and other programming values. 
Alarm system limitations 
Not even the most advanced alarm system can guarantee protection against 
burglary, fire, or environmental problems.  All alarm systems are subject to possible 
compromise or failure-to-warn  for a variety of reasons. 
•  If sirens are not placed within hearing  range of persons sleeping in remote parts 
of the premises, or if they are plac ed behind doors or other obstacles. 
•  If intruders gain access through unprot ected points of entry or areas where 
sensors have been bypassed. 
•  If intruders have the technical means of  bypassing, jamming, or disconnecting all 
or part of the system. 
•  If power to sensors is  inadequate or disconnected. 
•  If freeze or any environmental sensor s are not located in areas where the 
appropriate condition can be detected. 
•  If smoke does not reach a smoke sens or. For example, smoke sensors cannot 
detect smoke in chimneys, walls, roofs, or  areas blocked by a closed door. Sensors 
may not detect smoke in other levels of  the building. Sensors may not warn in 
time when fires are caused by smoking in  bed, explosions, improper storage of 
flammables, overloaded electrical circ uits, or other hazardous conditions. 
•  If telephone lines are out of service. 
Inadequate maintenance is the most common  cause of alarm failure. Therefore, test 
your system at least once per week to  be sure sensors, sirens, and phone 
communication are all working correctly. 
Although having an alarm system may ma ke you eligible for reduced insurance 
premiums, the system is no substitute for insurance. 
WARNING:  Security system devices cannot compen sate you for the loss of life or 
property.  
						

							Emergency planning 
Since an emergency is always unexpected, you should develop plans to help prepare 
for a variety of emergencies. Periodically  discuss and rehearse emergency plans to 
include the following: 
•  Understand how to use your security system. 
•  Know the normal state of doors an d windows: open, closed, or locked. 
•  Escape fast! (Do not stop to pack). 
•  Use a different escape route if cl osed 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 return  to the premises if there is a fire. 
•  Notify the fire department  from a neighbor’s phone. 
•  Emphasize that no one should enter the prem ises if they hear sirens in the house. 
•  If you arrive at the premises and hear  sirens, do no enter. Call for emergency 
assistance with your cell phone,  or from a neighbor’s phone.  
						

							Smoke Detector Placement 
 
Your floor plan 
Use the following guidelines when drawing your floor plan: 
•  Show all building levels. 
•  Show exits from each room (two per room are recommended). 
•  Show the location of all  security system components. 
•  Show the location of any fire extinguishers. 
Cleaning the touch screen 
If necessary, use a soft lint-free cloth to clear smudges on the touch screen; do not 
use glass cleaner on the touch screen.
