Beyond the Basics
You can’t arm the system until you fix the problem zone, or bypass
the zone. If you try to arm the system before resolving the problem
zone(s), a repetitive “trouble alarm” sounds to alert you to respond.
If your Security Console has been tampered with, i.e. the door
to the upper right of the display is open, the problem must be
fixed (close the door) before you can arm the system. Note: If the
system is armed and this door is tampered with, the alarm trips.
If you bypass a zone and then arm the system, that zone stays
bypassed until you disarm the system.
When there’s an alarm
The alarm will trip if the system is armed, and you open a protected
door or window, or walk past a Motion Detector (if armed in the
"Away" mode).
When the alarm is tripped, a loud siren sounds. Lights (set to the
two security codes) flash on and off (if you set up Plug ‘n Power
modules).
Your Security Console dials the first phone number you set up. It
plays the recorded message you stored. And, the system repeats
your recorded message three times, in case it takes awhile for the
person the system called to pick up.
When the person who was called answers the call and presses a
button on their phone, this activates a microphone in your Security
Console. They will be able to listen in to your home, and determine
if there is suspicious activity going on. They can then take action,
such as calling the police for you.
IMPORTANT: Do not program your Security Console to call the
Police directly.
The person who answers the phone must wait for a gap
between the messages before they can press a button
on their phone to listen in. The message repeats three
times, but might have already played once or twice
before the person answers the phone.
If noone answers the call (or presses a button) before
the third message is played, your Security Console dials
the next number stored. If you stored six numbers, it
may take a long time to dial all of them. The siren stops
sounding after four minutes. The unit still dials all the
numbers stored unless someone answers.
