SYSTEM OVERVIEW

General

Congratulations on your ownership of an Ameritech Security System. You've made
a wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection
technology today.
This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and emergency.
Your system consists of at least one keypad which provides control of system
operation, and includes various sensors which provide perimeter and interior
burglary protection, plus smoke or combustion detectors designed to provide early
warning in case of fire.
The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all protection zones and
system status, display appropriate information on the keypad(s) used with the
system, and initiate appropriate alarms. Your system may also have been
programmed to automatically send alarm or status messages over the phone lines
to a central alarm monitoring station.

Zones

Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones." For example,
the sensing device on your Entry/Exit door may have been assigned to zone 01,
sensing devices on windows in the master bedroom to zone 02, and so on. These
numbers will appear on the display, along with a description for that zone (if
programmed), when an alarm or trouble condition occurs.
