Maintaining Your System - Honeywell LYNX Touch User Manual

The components of your security system are designed to be as maintenance-free as possible.
To make sure that your system is in working condition, do the following:
1. Test your system weekly (see the TESTING THE SYSTEM section).
2. Test your system after any alarm occurs (see the TESTING THE SYSTEM section).
3. Clean the touch screen weekly.
Routine Care
• Treat the components of your security system as you would any other electrical
equipment. Do not slam sensor-protected doors or windows.
• Keep dust from accumulating on the touch screen and all protective sensors, particularly
on motion sensors and smoke detectors.
• The touch screen and sensors should be cleaned carefully with a dry soft cloth. Do not
spray water or any other fluid on the units.

Maintaining your system

1. With the system in the disarmed or armed
state, select the "Settings" icon from the
second page of the Home Screen. The
system displays the Settings" screen.
2. Select the "Clean" icon. The touch screen
become inactive for a period of 15 seconds. A
box displays "Please Use A Damp, Soft Cloth
Touch Screen Will Be Disabled For 15
Seconds" and the time will count down.
3. After 15 seconds the screen returns to the
settings screen and becomes active.
Note: If any user notification events occur while
the screen cleaning mode is active and
the system is armed, the mode will be
canceled and the system will operate
normally. If certain user notification events
occur (i.e.; motion or silent alarm) while
the screen cleaning mode is active and
the system is disarmed the mode will not
be canceled.
