Disarming and Silencing Alarms

Using the [OFF] key

The OFF key is used to disarm the system, silence alarm and trouble sounds, and clear alarm memories.

IMPORTANT: If you return and the main burglary sounder is on, DO NOT ENTER, but CONTACT 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 your entering, indicating that an alarm has occurred during your absence.

LEAVE AT ONCE, and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.
