SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Alarms When an alarm occurs, both the keypad and external sounders sound, and the keypad displays
the zone(s) causing the alarm. If your system is connected to a central monitoring station, an
alarm message is also sent. To stop the alarm sounding, simply disarm the system.
Memory of Alarm When an alarm condition occurs, the keypad displays the number(s) of the zone(s) that caused
the problem, and displays the type of alarm (ex. FIRE, ALARM). It remains displayed until it is
cleared by disarming the system (see DISARMING THE SYSTEM section).
Phone Access &
Voice Response
Capability
Your system may include a voice module that will permit you to access the system via a Touch-
tone phone, either on-premises or by call-in when away. The phone access feature will enable
you to do the following:
• Receive synthesized voice messages over the telephone regarding the status of the security
system.
• Arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands via the telephone, with
voice confirmation provided after each command entry.
Complete information regarding the use of this feature is provided in a separate manual entitled
PHONE ACCESS USER'S GUIDE, which accompanies the voice module.
Paging Feature If the paging feature has been programmed for your system, your pager will respond to
certain conditions as they occur in your system, and display code numbers indicating the
type of condition that has occurred.
For detailed information, refer to
PAGING FEATURE
section later in this manual.
