 The keypad also features a built-in sounder, which will sound during alarms and troubles. The keypad 
also beeps during certain system functions, such as during entry/exit delay times, in Chime mode, 
and when depressing any of the keys (to acknowledge the key press). In addition, a built-in speaker 
announces system status. 
The voice announcement volume is adjustable, however the “beeps” that sound in response to alarms 
always sound at the maximum volume level. All other “beeps” (trouble, chime, exit/entry, etc) can be set 
to either low or high volume.

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. Depending on the current state of the 
system the following phrases may be heard: 
disarmed, ready to arm [message] [check system] 
disarmed, [not ready to arm], [message] 
armed [away] [stay] [instant] [check system] [message] 
 
NOTE:   The phrases shown in brackets are variable, and are announced only if appropriate in the current state of 
the system. 
 
Press the STATUS key a second time† to announce specific system status. Depending on the current 
state of the system the following phrases may be heard: 
fire alarm [zone voice descriptors]

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 User 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 User 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 user 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.

SECURING THE PREMISES 
    
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. During the last 10 seconds of the exit delay fast beeps will sound as a warning 
that the delay time is nearing its end. The exit beeps cannot be silenced. 
Exit Alarms Exit 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 security code and press the 
OFF key. 
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. The alarm will continue to sound until the system is disarmed or timeout ocurs. To stop 
the alarm, the system must be disarmed by entering your security code and pressing the
OFF key; and 
the message CA is displayed on the keypad, indicating that the alarm has been cancelled (if this 
feature is enabled by the installer).  To clear the display, enter your security code and press the 
OFF 
key 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

SECURING THE PREMISES 
    
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. This indicates 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 user code
 
During alarm conditions and the entry delay, the alarm panel will disarm as soon as the correct user 
code is entered on the keypad. The entry beeps or alarm sound can be silenced by pressing any key 
however, it will restart in 10 seconds if the correct User Code is not entered. 
The READY indicator 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 indicator is blinking, go to the displayed zone and correct the fault (close windows, etc.). 
If the fault cannot be corrected, notify your alarm company.

SECURING THE PREMISES 
    
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) 
for zone(s) to be  
  Your user code  bypassed (e.g., 02, 03, etc.)
 
 
Important! All single-digit numbers must be preceded by a zero (for example, enter 02 for zone 2). 
 
The keypad will provide a confirmation beep and 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. 
 
Forced 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  +  FUNCTION 
 
  Your user 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 user code 
 
In a few moments, all open zones will be sequentially displayed along with the word “BYPASS.”
