PANEL LOCATION
Your control panel serves as the heart of your system. Place it in
a central location within 5 feet of an electrical outlet that does not
have a “test/reset” button and is not controlled by a switch.
COMMON LOCATIONS ARE:
· Countertop
· Tabletop
· Shelf
· Desk
· Wall (Professional installation is recommended. Call
Tech Support at 1-888-999-7872)
Avoid placing your panel in hidden locations where a siren would
not be heard. Avoid placing your panel in the closet, garage,
closed laundry room, bathroom, stairwell, near a window where
an intruder might see it, or within 4 feet of electronic devices or
large metal objects such as refrigerators, TVs, or washing
machines.
HOME SCREEN
You can wake the panel touchscreen by tapping any area of the
screen or by pressing either the Home or Emergency buttons on
the right side of the panel. By default, the screen will go to sleep
after 3 minutes. To change this setting see ‘Adjust the Display
Timeout time’ on page 27.
