Chime-On-Close

The Chime-On-Close feature works like the regular Chime feature, but in addition
to the double beeps heard upon opening a protected door or window, the system
sounds one long beep when the door or window is closed again.

You can turn the Chime-On-Close feature on or off from the programming menu.
Refer to Appendix C, “Programming Menus” for information on programming your
system.

Preventing Accidental Alarms

Your security system is engineered with advanced technology that reduces the
chance of an accidental alarm caused by a technical problem. In wireless
systems, this technology prevents other devices, such as garage door openers,
ham radios, television remote controls, and cellular phones, from interfering with
your security system.

Most accidental alarms occur when leaving the house after arming the system, or
upon returning, before disarming the system.

If, for example, you arm the system, then run upstairs for something you forgot,
the Exit Delay time may expire. Once the Exit Delay expires, opening an armed
door or moving in front of a motion detector will cause an alarm.

Aborting Accidental Alarms

Your system can be set up with the opportunity to abort an accidental intrusion,
Police or Auxiliary alarm.

If the Dialer Abort feature is turned on, disarming the system within a specified
time period will silence the siren and prevent the alarm from being reported to the
central monitoring station (thus aborting the alarm). Your system will display
“report aborted” for a few seconds, if you disarm before the alarm is reported. If
you don’t disarm in time to abort the central station report, the system will
automatically send an “alarm cancelled” report to the central station when the
system is disarmed. Follow the procedures of your central station to prevent a
false dispatch. See “Alarm Information” in Appendix A to determine if this feature
is enabled for your system.

Fire alarms caused by smoke sensors, fire panic alarms, and heat sensors
cannot be aborted. Disarming a fire alarm will silence the siren, but fire alarms
are always reported. If an accidental fire alarm has sounded, follow the
procedures of your central monitoring station to prevent a false dispatch.

programmed into this panel. The panel will delay 30 seconds before dialing the
