NOTE: If you return and find that an alarm has occurred while you were away, it is possible that
an intruder may still be on the premises. Go to a neighbour's house, and call the local police to
investigate.
The alarm memory is cleared each time the panel is armed so that any alarms showing are
alarms that occurred only during the last armed period.

If An Alarm Sounds

Fire Alarm
If your system has been installed with fire detectors and the bell sounds in a pulsing mode, follow your
emergency evacuation plan immediately (see "Fire Escape Planning" on page 15).
Intrusion Alarm
If an intrusion alarm sounds, indicated by a continuous NMF-1008 buzzer, bell, siren, the alarm may
be silenced by entering your access code. If the alarm was unintentional, call local authorities
immediately to avoid an unnecessary response.
You can determine the source of the alarm by following the instructions in the "Disarming" section (see
page 5). Once the source of the alarm has been corrected, the panel can be restored to its original
Armed state.

Function Keys

Some keypad models have five function keys, located to the right of the number pad, which allow easy
single-button activation of the most commonly used features. If these keys have been enabled by your
installer , you can execute their programmed function by pressing and holding the corresponding key
for two seconds.
For information regarding the operation of the function keys, talk to your alarm installer.
