Turning the System On With a Duress Passcode
I have this feature.
I do not have this feature.
This feature requires a passcode.
A duress passcode sends a silent alarm signal to your security company. It arms
or disarms the security system just like your personal passcode; however, as the
system is armed or disarmed, an alarm signal is transmitted. Be sure your security
technician explains how this feature works in your system. There is no alarm tone
or visual indication at the premises that the report is sent.
Application
The duress passcode is used when someone threatens you and demands you
disarm (or arm) your security system. By disarming (or arming) with a duress
passcode, your security company is alerted of an alarm situation.
Passcode + 1, or + 2
The duress passcode is based on your personal passcode. By increasing the last
digit by one or two, the duress feature is activated. For example; If your personal
passcode is 1234, the duress passcode is 1235 (or 1236).
My system uses Passcode + 1 for duress.
My system uses Passcode + 2 for duress.
Note: If your system has a security passcode that unlocks the [COMMAND] bar,
increasing the last digit of that passcode sends a duress signal to your
security company.
Important! Be sure to press the [ENT] key after entering the duress passcode.
