How Your System Reports Alarms

Your security system may be programmed to automatically disconnect

your telephones when sending reports to your security company. Once the

report is completed, your security system returns the telephones to normal

operation (check with your security company).

Your system makes repeated attempts to send reports to your security

company. In the event your system fails to report, the keypad signals a

system trouble. Follow Checking System Troubles (on page 23) procedure.

Note:

If your telephone service is interrupted, your security system

cannot send reports to your security company unless it has an

alternate means of transmitting them.

Keypad Backlighting

You can choose to have the keypad's display constantly backlit (Option 1),

or to have the display light when a key is pressed (Option 2). When

(Option 2) is chosen, the display times out after 20 seconds.

To change the current setting, press and hold the [CLEAR] key for 5

seconds. If you're changing the backlighting from Option 1 to Option 2,

you see the backlight go off. If changing from Option 2 to Option 1, you

hear a short beep to indicate the change.

When the system is off, pressing the [CLEAR] key shows current system

status. The following messages may appear:

SYSTEM OK: Indicates the system is ready to turn On.

NOT READY TO TURN ON: Indicates a Part point is faulted. Either

return the point to normal or turn the system on with points open

(see Bypass Points on page 16).

NOT READY TO TURN ALL ON: Indicates that an All point is

faulted. You can turn the system Part On, return the point to normal,

or turn the system on with points open (see Bypass Points on page 16).

ALARM MEMORY: Indicates an alarm event was placed into memory.

(See Viewing Alarm Memory on page 19).
