IMPORTANT NOTICE
A security system cannot prevent emergencies. It is only intended to alert you and – if included – your
central station of an emergency situation. Security systems are generally very reliable but they may
not work under all conditions and they are not a substitute for prudent security practices or life and
property insurance. Your security system should be installed and serviced by qualified security profes-
sionals who should instruct you on the level of protection that has been provided and on system
operations.

Bell/Siren Sounds After Away Arming

Audible Exit Fault
In an attempt to reduce false alarms, the Audible Exit Fault is designed to notify you of an improper
exit when arming the system in the Away mode. In the event that you fail to exit the premises during
the allotted exit delay period, or if you do not securely close the Exit/Entry door, the system will notify
you that it was improperly armed in two ways: the keypad will emit one continuous beep and the bell
or siren will sound.
Your installer will tell you if this feature has been enabled on your system. If this occurs:
1. Re-enter the premises.
2. Enter your [access code] to disarm the system. You must do this before the entry delay timer
expires.
3. Follow the Away arming procedure again, making sure to close the entry/exit door properly. (See
"Away Arming (Turned On/Set)".)
Arming Error
An error tone will sound if the system is unable to arm. This will happen if the system is not ready to
arm (i.e. sensors are open), or if an incorrect user code has been entered. If this happens, ensure all
sensors are secure, press
inhibited by any other means.
Disarming (Turning Off /Unsetting)

pad will beep if you walk through the entry door. Enter your code within _____ seconds to avoid an
