Alarm system features (overview)

You can use the system as an alarm system. When the alarm system is triggered, such as when motion
is detected or when a window or door is opened, the system can:
– send a notification to your mobile devices ( "Status notifications", Page 37)
– call a pre-programmed phone number (such as your mobile phone or work phone) and play a
message to alert you to the situation ( "Alert by phone call", Page 47)
– execute a smart control scenario, such as recording camera images or turning on a smart plug
( "Smart control features (overview)", Page 49)
Important:
R This system is an auxiliary system; it is not designed to provide complete protection from property loss.
Panasonic will not be held responsible in the event that property loss occurs while this system is in
operation.
Arm modes
You can arm and disarm the alarm system by changing the arm mode. When the alarm system is
disarmed, all alarm system features are disabled.

Triggering the alarm system

The following explains what is needed to trigger the alarm system, and what happens when a sensor is
triggered while the alarm system is armed.
1
The sensor must be enabled for the current arm mode in order for it to be triggered. You can also
select whether or not the sensor uses entry time (explained below).
R See "Alarm system settings", Page 46.
R Water leak sensors are always enabled regardless of the current arm mode. They cannot be
disabled and they are not subject to entry time or exit time.
2
The alarm system must be armed in order for it to be triggered.
R See "Arming and disarming the alarm system", Page 45.
R If the current arm mode is [Arm: Away], exit time is in effect beginning when the arm mode was
set. During this time, sensors cannot be triggered; this gives you time to leave the house after
arming the alarm system. The exit delay alert sounds during this time. Once exit time runs out, the
alarm system is armed.
