and sound beeps. If the panel announces "Alarm Cancelled", the alarm report
was sent to the central monitoring station. (optional) The central monitoring
station should be contacted to report the false alarm.
Note: There is no dialer delay for fire alarms.

Guidelines for preventing accidental alarms

Use the following guidelines to prevent accidental alarms:
•
Close doors and windows before you leave your house.
•
Gather your belongings, so you can exit immediately after arming the system.
•
Always enter and exit within the programmed delay times.
•
Make sure you leave through a door that has a delay time set for it.
•
Disarm your system immediately upon returning home.
•
Be aware of the devices in your system and learn how each one operates.
•
If you have pets, ask your installer if you need pet lenses in your motion
detectors.
•
Check the location of your smoke detectors. Smoke detectors near
bathrooms and kitchens can be tripped by steam and smoke formed by
cooking.
•
Make a note of the display, system beeps, and indicator lights that indicate
the current system status.

Chimes

Use the chime feature to signal when a protected door is opened while the
system is disarmed. The panel chimes twice when a chime sensor is tripped, if
the chime mode is enabled. This feature allows you to be notified when family
members are going in and out of your home. The chime and special chime
features are turned on or off in the System menu. See "Chime" on page 23 and
"Special chime" on page 23.
Note: If there are no chime sensors in your system, the chime option will not
appear in the System menu.

Voice chime

Your installer may have programmed the system to speak the sensor name or
make a custom chime sound when a chime sensor is tripped. The chime sound,
if programmed, will be played in place of the standard chime beeps.
