1.6 What to Do If An Alarm Sounds

Fire Alarm
If your system has been installed with fire detectors, a fire alarm will be
indicated by a pulsing siren.
If you hear a fire alarm, follow your emergency evacuation plan
immediately (see Section 6.5 "Fire Escape Planning").
Intrusion Alarm
An intrusion alarm will be indicated by a continuous bell or siren.
You can silence an intrusion alarm by entering a valid access code. If the
alarm was unintentional, call local authorities immediately to avoid an
unnecessary response.
You can determine the source of the alarm by entering the alarm memory
mode. Once the source of the alarm has been corrected, the panel can be
restored to its original armed state.
