USING THE PANIC
ALARM
Pressing PANIC on the handheld re-
mote control, or ARM and DISARM at
the same time on the keychain remote
control, causes the console’s alarm to
sound, even if the system is not armed.
ZONE INDICATORS
All sensor transmitters and motion de-
tectors report to the console about ev-
ery 90 minutes. If the console does not
receive a signal from a sensor trans-
mitter within 4 hours, it reports a prob-
lem with that sensor transmitter by
slowly flashing its zone indicator.
The console’s zone status indicators
show four conditions for Zones 1–8:
• Steady On — door or window is
open.
• Steady Off — door or window is
closed.
• Slow Flashing — door/window
sensor transmitter is reporting a
problem (such as a low battery).
• Fast Flashing — door/window
sensor transmitter reported a
problem (such as an open window
or low battery) and you pressed
BYPASS on the console (see
“Troubleshooting”).
Viewing the Status of
Zones 9-16
If there is a problem with Zones 9–16,
the console does not flash a zone light,
but you hear the trouble alarm if you try
to arm the system.
Press and hold ZONES 9-16 on the con-
sole. The indicators show which zone
(9–16) is reporting the problem. If you
do not want to bypass the problem,
correct it and arm the system again.
Other Console Indicators
• BATTERY LOW (Steady) — bat-
tery in console is low or needs
replacement.
• ARMED (Steady) — indicates
system is armed.
