SECURITY CODES & AUTHORITY LEVELS

General	At the time of installation, you were assigned an authority level and a personal four-digit
Information	security code, known only to you and yours. The security code must be entered when arming
	and disarming the system. The authority level defines the system functions that you can
	perform.
	As an additional safety feature, other users that do not have a need to know your code can be
	assigned different security codes and each user can be given a different authority level. Users
	are identified by "user numbers", which are assigned when assigning a user's security code.
	All codes can be used interchangeably when performing system functions within the limits of
	each code's authority level (a system armed with one user's code can be disarmed by another
	user's code), with the exception of the Operator C code (authority level 5). See AUTHORITY
	LEVELS section on the following page for detailed information regarding user authority levels.
Duress Code	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 is pre-assigned by the installer
	during installation (authority level 6).
	Important: This code is useful only when the system is connected to a central station.
Quick Arming
	Note that if "Quick Arming" was programmed by the installer, the	#	key can be pressed in
	place of the security code when arming the system. The security code must always be used to
	disarm the system, however. Note that Operator C cannot disarm the system if the system was
	armed by quick arm.
