The Nortek 2GIG GC2e alarm beeps when it is disarmed to alert the user of a previous alarm event. If fast repeated beeps sound instead of normal Entry Delay beeps, it indicates that an alarm occurred while the system was armed. This serves as a warning that an intruder may still be present, and users should exercise caution and contact law enforcement if necessary. Additionally, the system can be configured to produce a unique sound when disarmed after an alarm.
