One of the biggest concerns you might have regarding your security system, is causing
an accidental alarm. Most accidental alarms occur when leaving the residence after
arming the system, or, before disarming the system upon your return.

Canceling Accidental Alarms

There is a communicator delay (Dialer Delay) of 30 seconds programmed into this
panel. The panel will delay 30 seconds before dialing the central monitoring station,

this delay time between 0 - 254 seconds.
You have ___ seconds to cancel an accidental alarm.
To cancel an accidental alarm before the programmed dialer delay time expires, enter
your access code.

Guidelines for Preventing Accidental Alarms

The following guidelines will go a long way toward preventing accidental alarms.
• Close doors and windows before you leave your house.
• Gather your belongings, so you can exit immediately after arming the system.
• Always enter and exit within the programmed delay times.
• Make sure you leave through a door that has a delay time set for it.
• Disarm your system immediately upon returning home.
• Be aware of the devices in your security system and learn how each one operates.
• If you have pets, ask your installer if you need pet lenses in your motion detectors.
• Check the location of your smoke detectors. Smoke detectors near bathrooms and
kitchens can be tripped by steam and smoke from cooking.
• Take note of system beeps, voice announcements and indicator lights which indi-
cate the current system status.
