Introduction - GE NX-108E - Security NetworX NX-4 System User Manual

This manual is furnished to help you understand your security system and become proficient in its operation.
All users of your security system should read and follow the instructions in this booklet and, if possible,
practice on the keypad control while your professional installer is on site. Failure to do so could result in the
security system not working properly. Please keep this booklet in an accessible location for the life of the
security system. If you do not understand any part of this manual you should notify your installing company.
The SECURITY CONTROL PANEL can be turned on (ARMED) and off (DISARMED) by entering a 4 or 6 digit code into
the keypad control, which is similar to a telephone keypad. If your security control panel has been so programmed,
you may be able to turn on (ARM) your system by simply pressing the [STAY] or [EXIT] key. The system must always
be disarmed using a 4 or 6 digit code.
The LED keypad includes up to 35 lights and a built-in electronic sounder. These provide specific information
relating to the status of the security system which is described in the booklet. Understanding what the lights and
sounds mean will help you to easily operate your system.
