    Alarm Duress Code 3GS has an in-built Alarm Duress Code feature, which allow you to trigger a silent Duress alarm by simply keying in the first 5 digits of your code, and then the sixth digit plus 1. For example, if your code is 001234, then by keying in 001235 you will trigger a Duress alarm, which will not display on the panel and will not sound an alarm, but will send a trigger directly to your central security station.
