Using the

1 OFF Key

I M P O R T A N T :

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 IMMEDIATELY, and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.

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

To Disarm the System

Enter your security code and press the OFF key.

The "Ready" message will be displayed, and the keypad will emit a single tone to confirm that the system is disarmed.

To Silence a Burglary Alarm

SEE IMPORTANT NOTE AT LEFT!

Enter your security code and press the OFF key to silence the alarm (or warning tones of a Memory of Alarm).

Note the zone in alarm on the keypad display, and make that zone intact (close door, window, etc.). Now enter the security code plus OFF sequence again to clear the keypad's Memory of Alarm display. If the display will not clear and does not provide a "Ready" message, notify the alarm agency.

To Silence a Fire Alarm

Simply press the OFF key (the security code is not needed to silence FIRE alarms).

To then clear the keypad's Memory of Alarm display, enter your security code and press the OFF key again. See page 29 for additional fire alarm information.

A FIRE alarm is an interrupted/pulsed sound. A BURGLARY alarm is a continuous/steady sound.
