throughout the premises.

See Night Mode note below
Note: Night Mode (on Residential Panels Only) arms all perimeter zones plus all zones listed in Zone List 5.
Important: On Commercial systems, “Away Auto Stay” mode is shown as “Away” mode (with all zones monitored).
However, some interior zones may not be armed.
Note: The Voice Status Icon (
) indicates the Voice feature. Press the Voice Status Icon to hear system status.
Wait 3 seconds and press again to hear Zone Faults or Trouble conditions. Voice status will annunciate even if Voice
mode and Chime mode are disabled. Note that the Voice feature must be enabled (by the installer) for this icon to
function correctly during an alarm condition.
Note: There is a communicator delay of 30 seconds. This delay will prevent a report to the central station if the
control panel is disarmed within 30 seconds after an intrusion alarm is triggered. This delay can be removed, or it
can be increased up to 45 seconds at the option of the user by consulting with the installer. Note that emergency,
carbon monoxide, and fire-type alarms are normally reported without delay.
