Chimes; Latchkey - GE Simon XT User Manual

Chimes

Use the chime feature to signal when a protected door is opened while the system is
disarmed. The panel chimes twice when a chime sensor is tripped, if the chime mode
is enabled. This feature allows you to be notified when family members are going in
and out of your home. The chime and special chime features are turned on or off in
the System menu. See "Chime" on page 21 and "Special chime" on page 21.
Note: If there are no chime sensors in your system, the chime option will not appear
in the System menu.
Voice chime
Your installer may have programmed the system to speak the sensor name or make
a custom chime sound when a chime sensor is tripped. The chime sound, if
programmed, will be played in place of the standard chime beeps.
Special chime
The special chime feature allows you to install motion sensors in a patio or at the
front door, and be notified when someone is approaching those areas. These motion
sensors are not used for intrusion protection. The panel will chime three times, if the
special chime mode is enabled.
Note: If there are no special chime sensors in your system, the special chime option
will not appear in the System menu.

Latchkey

(This feature has not been verified for use by UL.)
Use the latchkey feature to notify you, via a remote phone, if a family member does
not arrive home at a predetermined time and disarm the system. When this feature is
active, a latchkey alarm is reported if the premises are not disarmed by the
programmed latchkey time. For example, if you set the latchkey time for 3:00 p.m.
and the system is not disarmed by that time, a message is sent to your remote
phone. The latchkey feature can be activated during arming if a latchkey time is
programmed.
To activate the latchkey feature, press Motions twice. If a code is required, enter your
code after the first press of the Motions button, and then press Motions a second
time. The panel Motions light will blink and the exit delay will begin.
