How Your
System Communicates to You
Note
The panel will not give voice messages during an AVM session. Talk to your security system dealer to see if your panel has the AVM option.
Your system responds to you through the use of panel voice messages, status beeps, alarms, panel indicator lights, and to a numeric pager if programmed.
Panel Voice MessagesWhen you press the buttons on the panel or the touchpads, the panel responds with voice messages. Panel voice can be enabled or disabled (see “Options”).
These messages may respond with system information or prompt you to take further action. For example, if you want to disarm the system and you press the DISARM but- ton, the panel responds by announcing, “Please enter your access code.”
If you press a button and the feature has not been programmed, the panel voice will respond with “Function not available.” An example of this would be pressing CHIME Special Motion button when you have no motion sensors in your system.
Note
You may receive a different number of status beeps if buttons are pressed quickly
Status beeps are used to indicate key presses, status, and problems with the system. They can be enabled or disabled (see “Options”). The following table describes status beep activity.
