At the time of installation, you were assigned an authority level and a personal four-digit 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.

See AUTHORITY LEVELS section on the following page for detailed information regarding user authority levels.
