Bypassing Zones

Use the zone bypassing feature when you need access to a protected area while the system is armed, or when a
zone is temporarily out of service, but you need to arm the system. Bypassed zones will not be able to sound an
alarm. Bypassing zones reduces the level of security. If you are bypassing a zone because it is not working, call a
service technician immediately so that the problem can be resolved and your system returned to proper working
order. Ensure that no zones are unintentionally bypassed when arming your system.
Zones cannot be bypassed once the system is armed. Bypassed zones are automatically cancelled each time the
system is disarmed and must be bypassed again, if required, before the next arming.
NOTE: For security reasons, your installer has programmed the system to prevent you from bypassing certain zones
(e.g., smoke detectors).
