7.10Turning OFF (Disarming) Your System under Duress

A Duress PIN (refer to Section 8.0 Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) on page 23 and Section 8.4 PIN Authority Levels on page 24) is used when someone demands, by threatening your life or well-being, that you turn the system off. When used, the Duress PIN turns off the system and reports a silent Duress alarm if the system is connected to a monitoring service. When disarming the system normally, use extreme care when entering your PIN to turn off the system, so you do not inadvertently enter a Duress PIN.

You can enter the Duress PIN at any keypad, but you cannot disarm the system under duress from a keyfob. In a duress situation, avoid using a keyfob to disarm the system since this prevents you from notifying the monitoring service of your need for assistance.
