The SECURITY CONTROL can be turned on (ARMED) and off (DISARMED) by entering a 4 or 6 digit

been so programmed, you may be able to turn on (ARM) your System by simply pressing the
[STAY] or [EXIT] key. The system must always be Disarmed using a 4 or 6 digit code. The LCD
keypad includes 9 lights and a 32-character liquid crystal display and a built-in electronic
sounder. These provide specific information relating to the status of the security system which is
described in the booklet. Understanding what the lights and sounds mean will help you to easily
operate your system.
KEEP IN MIND, THE LEVEL OF SECURITY YOU WILL OBTAIN WITH THIS SYSTEM RELATES
SPECIFICALLY WITH TWO MAJOR FACTORS:
1. The quantity, quality, and placement of security devices attached to this system.
2. The knowledge you have of the security system and how that knowledge is utilized in a
weekly test of the complete system.
YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING FACTS WHEN PREPARING A SAFETY/SECURITY
PLAN FOR YOUR HOME/BUSINESS.
1. Your security system is an electronic device and is subject to failure or malfunction. Do
not rely on it as your single source of security.
2. Your system should be tested weekly.
3. Your system will not work without power.
4. Warning devices will need to be loud enough, wired correctly, and properly placed to
provide notification of an alarm event.
5. Smoke and heat detectors may not detect heat and smoke in all situations.

Your periodic test should be done with A.C. Power removed to verify the battery is
connected and adequately charged.
8. Care should be taken to plug in and restrain the A.C. Transformer after testing.
