USING THE PANIC

ALARM

Pressing PANIC on the handheld re- mote control, or ARM and DISARM at the same time on the keychain remote control, causes the console’s alarm to sound, even if the system is not armed.

ZONE INDICATORS

All sensor transmitters and motion de- tectors report to the console about ev- ery 90 minutes. If the console does not receive a signal from a sensor trans- mitter within 4 hours, it reports a prob- lem with that sensor transmitter by slowly flashing its zone indicator.

The console’s zone status indicators show four conditions for Zones 1–8:

Steady On — door or window is open.

Steady Off — door or window is closed.

Slow Flashing — door/window sensor transmitter is reporting a problem (such as a low battery).

Fast Flashing — door/window sensor transmitter reported a problem (such as an open window or low battery) and you pressed BYPASS on the console (see “Troubleshooting”).

Viewing the Status of

Zones 9-16

If there is a problem with Zones 9–16, the console does not flash a zone light, but you hear the trouble alarm if you try to arm the system.

Press and hold ZONES 9-16on the con- sole. The indicators show which zone (9–16) is reporting the problem. If you do not want to bypass the problem, correct it and arm the system again.
