Latchkey; System Status - GE Simon XT V2 User Manual

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

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.

System status

Press Status (no code is required) to cause the system to display and speak the
following types of information:
• Alarm conditions
• Alarm history
• Trouble conditions
• Open sensors
• Bypassed sensors
The Status button blinks when an active alarm exists. The Status button is lit when an
abnormal condition such as a trouble or open sensor exists in the system.
You can clear certain status entries from the system (such as an alarm history) by
pressing Disarm after checking the status.
