Accessing Your Security System
Local Access
Use this procedure to access your security system from a telephone that is on the same phone line as your security system. No dialling is necessary.
Pick up the telephone; you will hear a dial tone. Enter your [Local or Remote Telephone Access Code]. The dial tone will stop and the system will announce
“Hello”
Depending on the feature activated for your system, the system may then announce
“Enter Your Access Code”.
Enter your [Access Code].
Remote Access
From a touch tone telephone, call the security system and let the line ring once. After a single ring, hang up and call again. On the second call, the system will pick up after one or two rings and announce
“Hello”
Enter your [Local or Remote Telephone Access Code] within 10 seconds or the system will automatically hang up. The system will then announce
“Enter Your Access Code”
Enter a valid access code within 20 seconds or the system will hang up. The system will also hang up if 3 incorrect Access Codes are entered.
Once a valid access code has been entered, the system will announce one or more messages to advise of the status of the system.
Accessing Partitions
What is a Partition?
A partition is a group of zones which act independently of other groups of zones. Each partition acts as an independent alarm system. Partitions will have different access codes to arm and disarm them. The access codes assigned to one partition will not work on another partition. However, Access Codes can be assigned to more than one partition to allow someone to use one Access Code for several different partitions. Your installer will inform you of how partitions and Access Codes have been assigned on your system.
Note: Be sure to have your installer explain to you if your system is a Single or Multiple Partition system.
Accessing a Single Partition
Access the security system using the steps described in the Accessing Your Security System section of this manual.
After the system announces one or more messages to advise you of the status of the system, the system will announce
“To turn partition one on, enter your access code”
Enter your [Access Code] to arm the partition to which your code is assigned.
