SYSTEM TEST

monitoring, it is still important to regularly
test the system manually. The System Test is
used to test each of the sensors in the
system. The master user code is required to
test the system. While the system is in test
mode, a "T" icon blinks on the upper right of
the display.
IMPORTANT: Test your Security System
weekly to ensure continued protection
and proper system operation.
