REVENTING
Your security system is engineered with advanced
technology that reduces the chance of an acciden-
tal alarm caused by a technical problem. In wireless
systems, this technology prevents other devices,
such as garage door openers, ham radios, television
remote controls, and cellular phones, from interfer-
ing with your security system.
Most accidental alarms occur when leaving the
house after arming the system, or upon returning,
before disarming the system.
If, for example, you arm the system, then run
upstairs for something you forgot, the Exit Delay
time may expire. Once the Exit Delay expires,
opening an armed door or moving in front of a
motion detector will cause an alarm.

Cancelling Accidental Alarms

Your system can be set up with the opportunity to
cancel an accidental intrusion, Police or Auxiliary
alarm. (Fire alarms cannot be cancelled.)
If the Dialer Abort feature is turned on, cancelling
the alarm within a specified period will silence the
siren and prevent the alarm from being reported to
the central monitoring station.
Cancelling a fire alarm will silence the siren, but fire
alarms are always reported. If an accidental fire
alarm has sounded, follow the procedures of your
central monitoring station to prevent a false dis-
patch.
To cancel an alarm:
1. Press
• Alphanumeric touchpads display,
• On LED touchpads, the Enter Code light
2. Enter your access code.
• Alphanumeric touchpads display
• On LED touchpads, the Enter Code light
The system sounds one long beep.
