HOME SECURITY
The Home Security buttons are used to arm and disarm doors, windows and motion
sensors in your system. The System Status button is used to give information on sys-
tem activity.

Arm

Turn on intrusion/burglary protection for your system. You can arm door/window sen-
sors, motion sensors or both depending on the buttons you press.

Disarm

Turn off intrusion/burglary protection for your system. Only intrusion/burglary sensors
such as doors/windows and motion are disarmed. Environmental sensors, such as
smoke and carbon monoxide stay active at all times.

System Status

Press to hear information about your system. If the button is lit, there is a problem with
the system. If the button is blinking, an alarm has occurred. Press the button to hear
what is wrong with the system. (See "Status Beeps".)

Exit Delay

Exit Delay is the amount of time the system gives you to exit the home before the sys-
tem is armed (between 5 and 254 seconds). This is programmed by the installer. When
you arm you will hear beeps during the exit delay (see the table "Status Beeps" of this
manual to determine the meaning of panel/system beeps).
Your Exit Delay is set for ___ seconds.
