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
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
Special chime 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.
