How Your
System
Communicates
to You

Your system responds to you through the use of panel voice messages, status beeps,
alarms, panel indicator lights, and to a numeric pager if programmed.

Panel Voice Messages

When you press the buttons on the panel or the touchpads, the panel responds with
voice messages. Panel voice can be enabled or disabled (see “Options”).

Note
The panel will not give voice
messages during an AVM
session. Talk to your security
system dealer to see if your
panel has the AVM option.

These messages may respond with system information or prompt you to take further
action. For example, if you want to disarm the system and you press the DISARM but-
ton, the panel responds by announcing, “Please enter your access code.”

If you press a button and the feature has not been programmed, the panel voice will
respond with “Function not available.” An example of this would be pressing CHIME
Special Motion
button when you have no motion sensors in your system.

Status Beeps

Note
You may receive a different
number of status beeps if
buttons are pressed quickly

Status beeps are used to indicate key presses, status, and problems with the system.
They can be enabled or disabled (see “Options”). The following table describes status
beep activity.

Alarm Sirens and Lamp Modules

Exterior and interior sirens make 3 different alarm sounds on the premises, each indicat-
ing a different type of alarm. Sirens are programmed by the installer to time-out and
stop sounding after a specified time.

Use the following table to understand the siren sounds used by the security system.
Temporal 3 refers to a continuous pattern of 3 siren pulses then off for 1.5 seconds, 3
siren pulses then off for 1.5 seconds.
