This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm the system under threat. When used, the system will act normally, but can silently notify the central station of your situation, if that service has been provided.

The Duress code may be any 4-digit code assigned to User Number 9.

To program a Duress code:

Enter the Master Code + 8 + 9 + [desired 4-digit duress code]. The keypad will beep once. Note: The Duress code must differ from the Master Code or any other User’s Code.

To change the Duress code:

Enter the Master Code + 8 + 9 + [new 4-digit duress code].

To delete the Duress code:

Enter the Master Code + 8 + 9, and then stop. When the keypad beeps once it signifies that the code has been deleted.

Enter the original Master code + 8 + 2 + New Master Code + New Master Code again . The keypad will beep 3 times, indicating acceptance of the new master code.

If your system supports "Quick Arming", the "#" key can be pressed in place of the security code when arming the system. The security code is always required, however, when disarming the system.

If your system includes a phone module, your installer will have programmed a 2-digit phone access code for your system. Be sure to obtain this phone code from your installer.

Complete information regarding the use of this phone access feature is provided in a separate manual entitled PHONE ACCESS USER'S GUIDE, which accompanies the phone module.
