STATUS button will light. Press the STATUS button and the display will show what

Fail-to-communicate. This condition occurs if your security system cannot

communicate to the central monitoring station. Your system will try to report to the

central monitoring station eight times before it tells you there is a fail-to-communicate

problem. Trouble beeps will start and the STATUS button will light. Press the STATUS

button and the display will show Comm Test Fail or Comm Failure. You may need to

call your security system dealer if the problem continues.

Sensor open. This condition occurs if a door or window is open or a system sensor has

been disturbed and not reset properly. For example, a door/window sensor magnet may

have been removed from the sensor. Your system will indicate this condition to you by

causing the STATUS button to light. When you press the STATUS button, the display

shows, for example, Sn 1 Front Door Open. Correct the problem by resetting the

sensor. If this condition continues, call your security system dealer.

to light. Trouble beeps will start. Press the STATUS button and the display shows Sn #

Name Tampered. Correct the problem by resetting the sensor. If this condition

Clearing status. Some types of status conditions, such as the alarm history, must be

cleared manually. To clear system status, press the STATUS button, read and/or listen

to the status messages, then press DISARM. If the trouble condition was a low system

battery, perform a sensor test. The STATUS light should turn off if all trouble conditions

have been corrected.
