Alarms
The system provides a series of alarms that indicate an unusual occurrence.

Press Status
Alarms are canceled by entering a valid master or user code. After alarms are
canceled, the system will be disarmed.
Canceling and preventing accidental alarms
One of the biggest concerns you might have regarding your security system is
causing an accidental alarm. Most accidental alarms occur when leaving the
residence after arming the system or before disarming the system upon your
return.
There is a communicator delay (dialer delay) of 30 seconds programmed into this
panel. The panel will delay 30 seconds before dialing the central monitoring
station remote phone to send reports. You can have your installer program this
delay time between 0 and 254 seconds. To cancel an accidental alarm before the
programmed dialer delay time expires, enter your access code. The system will
display Alarm Cancel and sound beeps.
Guidelines for preventing accidental alarms
Use the following guidelines to prevent accidental alarms.
• Close doors and windows before you leave your house.
• Gather your belongings, so you can exit immediately after arming the system.
• Always enter and exit within the programmed delay times.
• Make sure you leave through a door that has a delay time set for it.
• Disarm your system immediately upon returning home.
