If An Alarm Sounds; Function Keys; Programming Security Codes - DSC Power832 PC5015 Instruction Manual

NOTE: If you return and find that an alarm has occurred while you were away, it is possible that an intruder
may still be on the premises. Go to a neighbour's house, and call the local police to investigate.
The alarm memory is cleared each time the panel is armed so that any alarms showing are alarms
that occurred only during the last armed period.

If An Alarm Sounds

Fire Alarm
If your system has been installed with fire detectors and the alarm sounds in a pulsing mode, follow
your emergency evacuation plan immediately (see "Fire Escape Planning" on page 15).
Intrusion Alarm
If an intrusion alarm sounds, indicated by a continuous bell or siren, the alarm may be silenced by
entering your access code. If the alarm was unintentional, call local authorities immediately to avoid an
unnecessary response.
You can determine the source of the alarm by following the instructions in the "Disarming" section (see page
6). Once the source of the alarm has been corrected, the panel can be restored to its original Armed state.

Function Keys

Each keypad has five function keys, located to the right of the number pad, which allow easy single-button
activation of the most commonly used features. If these keys have been enabled by your installer , you can
execute their programmed function by pressing and holding the corresponding key for two seconds.
For information regarding the operation of the function keys, talk to your alarm installer.
