alarm. To disarm the system in either mode, enter a 4-digit User
Passcode or press “Disarm” on your Remote. You may also disarm
your panel using the smartphone app. (See page

IN THE EVENT OF A BURGLARY ALARM
When the system is armed and a door, window, motion, or glass
break sensor is triggered the following events will happen:
1. For Windows, Motion Sensors (with default “0” entry delay),
and Glass Break Sensors the alarm siren will immediately
sound and continue to sound for four minutes OR until a 4-digit
User Passcode is entered.
2. When a door sensor is triggered the system will immediately start
the Entry Delay countdown to allow time to disarm the system
(Unless Entry delay is set to “0”). The default Entry Delay time
length is 30 seconds and can be adjusted in the individual door
settings (see ‘Change Entry Delay’ on page
19). When the
countdown reaches 0, the alarm siren will sound and continue to
sound for four minutes or until a 4-digit User Passcode is entered.
The alarm siren will be silenced for 5 seconds on the first keystroke
of attempting to enter the user code.
3. After the alarm signal is received by the Central Monitoring
Station, an operator will respond to the reported emergency either
through the 2-way voice device on your panel or directly to your
phone (or emergency contacts if necessary).
CANCELING A FALSE BURGLARY ALARM
If a false alarm is triggered, you can cancel the alarm by entering a
4-digit User Passcode. The siren will stop and the panel will
transmit an alarm cancellation signal to the Central Monitoring
Station. The Central Monitoring Station may still contact you by text
message, through the panel, or by phone to ensure everything is
okay. Be prepared to give them your verbal password (See ‘Master
Passcode and Verbal Password’ on page
33).
USING THE OPTIONAL HOSTAGE CODE
The Hostage Code is used when you need to send a silent duress
signal (for example, if you are being held hostage and are told to
Disarm the system). Entering the hostage code will notify the
Central Monitoring Station that you are in a hostage situation
without the intruder knowing. (see ‘Create Hostage Passcode’ on
page
33.) To activate the hostage code feature, you must create a
hostage code in the User Codes section of your panel. To use your
