Disarming The System
IMPORTANT
If you return to the premises and find that an alarm has occurred while you were away, it is possible that an intruder may still be on the premises. Do not enter the premises. Go to the nearest telephone and contact the authorities.
How to Disarm the System
To disarm your security system, access the security system using the steps described in the Accessing Your Security System section of this manual.
Select a Partition to disarm as described in the Accessing Partitions section of this manual.
If the selected partition is armed, the system will announce
“Partition One is on. To turn off, enter your Access Code”
Enter your Access Code, and the system will announce
“Turning Partition One off”
If there were no alarms while the system was armed, the system will announce
“No alarm memory”
When the system is disarmed, additional messages may be announced to advise you of the status of the system, or to allow you to select other partitions.
If An Alarm Sounds
Fire Alarm
Your installer will inform you if fire detection equipment has been installed and activated on your system.
Fire alarms will sound with a pulsing tone. If a fire alarm sounds, follow your emergency evacuation plan immediately. Refer to the guidelines for family escape planning at the back of this manual.
Intrusion Alarm
Intrusion alarms will sound with a continuous tone.
If an intrusion alarm sounds, an intruder may be on the premises. Go to a safe place immediately. If you are certain that the premises are safe, the alarm may be silenced from the telephone. Access the security system using the steps described in the Accessing Your Security System and Accessing Partitions sections of this manual.
If the alarm was unintentional, notify your monitoring station and/or the local authorities immediately to prevent an unnecessary response.
You can determine the source of an alarm by following the instructions in the “Alarm Memory” section of this manual. Once the source of the alarm has been corrected, your system can be armed again.
