System Overview; Features - Honeywell LYNX Touch User Manual

General Information
This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire, and emergency, depending on
the configuration of your system. The system consists of a touch screen control for system
operation, various wireless sensors that provide perimeter and interior burglary protection,
and optional smoke or combustion detectors to provide early fire warning. In addition,
optional wireless keypads or key fobs may have been installed to allow you to control the
system away from the touch screen control.
The system monitors protection zones and system status, displays appropriate information
on the touch screen display, and initiates appropriate alarms. Your system may also have
been programmed to automatically send alarm or status messages over the phone lines or via
the cellular network or the internet to a central alarm monitoring station, and may also be
capable of two-way voice communication with the central station.
Your key fob is similar to your keys or access card. If lost or stolen, another person can compromise your
security system. Immediately notify your Dealer/Installer of a lost or stolen key fob. The Dealer/Installer will
then remove the key fob programming from the security system.
