Cl MONITORING SERVICE (CANCELLING ACCIDENTAL ALARMS)
You may have elected to subscribe to a monitoring service. If so, reports will be sent via telephone lines in the event of alarms or system trouble. The service then alerts the appropriate authorities. Refer to the System Information pages for a list of the ( reports you have selected for transmitting to the service. Be aware that you need to call and cancel any accidental alarm. It is very expensive to have emergency vehicles respond to unintentional alarms. You may be charged a fee for this type of response.
0 LIGHT OPERATION
Your system may be set up to turn on selected lights when an alarm occurs or when you intentionally activate them using a portable transmitter. Your installer will explain how lights are tied into your system. The facts concerning selected lights and their operation are recorded in the System Information pages.
MANUAL ALARMS
In an emergency, you can trigger an alarm from the master keypad by pressing both “Fire” symbol keys simultaneously for a fire alarm or both “Police” symbol keys simultaneously to activate a police alarm. If your system is connected to a monitor- ing service, the service will dispatch the appropriate emergency vehicles.
USER CODES
User codes are
Master Code: This is the permanent code programmed during the installation of your system. It is recorded on the System Infor- mation pages. Memorize it and do not give it to anyone except those you wish to have complete access to your alarm system.
2nd User Code: This is a temporary code you can assign to allow others to use your system without them knowing the master code. See “Assigning a 2nd User Code” for more information.
0Duress Code: Few installations will require this type of code. If you have decided on this option during installation, you must be extremely careful and use it only when you are in direct personal danger. See “Duress Codes” for a complete explanation.

ARMING & DISARMING THE SYSTEM
Some sensors in your system are always armed and will trigger an alarm whenever they are tripped. They are
The burglary intrusion sensors in the system are routinely armed and disarmed (turned on and off) during the day. Burglary protection consists of perimeter and interior sensors. Perimeter sensors are usually located on windows and doors, and you normally leave these sensors armed when you are home. Interior sensors, such as motion detectors, protect the interior of your residence and are normally armed only when you are away.
Burglary sensors will be set for either instant or delay triggering when your system is armed. If an instant sensor is tripped, an immediate alarm will sound. Delay sensors provide time for you to enter or exit the building without causing an alarm.
The burglary protection in your system can be armed to three different modes. The STAY and AWAY lights on the master keypad indicate the mode.
AWAY: No one is in the protected area. All interior and perimeter sensors are on. You will normally put the system in Away when you leave the premises.
STAY: You are inside the premises and want to be alerted if someone tries to enter. Perimeter sensors are on. Interior sensors are off, allowing you to move about freely.
Cl NIGHT: You have retired for the evening and want additional protection in selected areas. All perimeter protection is fully armed as in the other modes. Certain interior sensors (selected by you and your installer) are also on. For example, you may choose to have downstairs interior sensors on while upstairs sensors remain off.
Your installer will indicate the arming method you have chosen below:
