Section 3: Turning Your System On (Arming) And Off (Disarming); Turning On Your System - DSC Envoy NT9010 User Manual

• A good plan emphasizes a quick escape. Do not investigate or attempt to fight
the fire, and do not gather belongings or pets as this wastes valuable time.
Once outside, do not re-enter the house. Wait for the fire department.
• Write the fire escape plan down and rehearse it frequently so that should an
emergency arise, everyone will know what to do. Revise the plan as conditions
change, such as the number of people in the home, or if there are changes to
the building's construction.
• Make sure your fire warning system is operational by conducting weekly tests
(see Here is a list of the various trouble conditions that your system
might announce: on page 19). If you are unsure about system operation, con-
tact your installing dealer.
• We recommend that you contact your local fire department and request further
information on fire safety and escape planning. If available, have your local fire
prevention officer conduct an in-house fire safety inspection.

Section 3: Turning Your System On
(Arming) and Off (Disarming)
This section describes how to turn your system on and off. Read this section care-
fully.
Turning On 1. Before you turn on your system, make sure that it is Ready. You can tell that the
Your System system is ready when the green (Ready) light is ON. If the green light is not on,
see the Note below.
2. Enter your access code on the keypad. If you have entered the wrong code, the
keypad will sound one long beep - try again to enter the correct code.
When you enter a valid access code:
• The keypad sounds fast beeps.
• The red (Armed) light turns ON.
• The keypad starts to beep once every second. This tells you that the system
is turning on (Audible Exit Delay).
3. If you will be leaving, go out through the entry/exit door. Doing this tells the sys-
tem that you are away, and the system turns on completely.
If you will be staying, do not open the entry/exit door. This tells the system that
you are staying, and the system turns on only the perimeter areas.
NOTE: If the green (Ready) light is not on:
• Close all doors and windows
• Stop motion in all areas with motion detectors
If the yellow (System) light is ON, check for possible trouble conditions (see
Checking Trouble Conditions on page 19), and check that no zones are
turned off unintentionally (see Turning Off Part of Your System (Bypassing
Zones) on page 18).
