Write down your outside meeting place. Family Rehearsal Rehearse each of the following activities: 1. Everyone in his room with the doors closed. 2.
SYSTEM TROUBLE ERROR CODES Your ADT Safewatch EZ System is constantly monitoring its own components, as well as all critical services, such as AC power and the telephone line, to insure that it is always ready to provide the protection for which it was designed. When a system trouble occurs, the EZ Touchpad will caution you with a Trouble TBL light and a beeping sounder. If you cannot immediately fix the trouble, the system can still be used.
SYSTEM TROUBLE ERROR CODES TBL Flashes / Touchpad beeps 6 READY Trouble Condition Flashes NONE Lost Key Mode 7 NONE 1 1 2 2 3 2-8 Fire Zone Trouble Action This is a reminder that the system has been put into the lost key mode ([STAY] & [AWAY] pressed simultaneously). While in this mode, the system can only be disarmed with your EZ-IFOB. When you have replaced or re-keyed your deadbolt, press [STAY] & [AWAY] simultaneously again to exit lost key mode.
ZONE LIST The space below is for recording the descriptions of the zones in your system. • If the system has a faulted zone, count the number of READY light flashes and refer to the list below to see which zone is open and secure it (close the door or window, etc.).
ENROLLING A NEW EZ-IFOB The EZ-IFOB is a uniquely coded digital key which performs the following functions when inserted into the EZ-IFOB slot on the EZ Touchpad: • Disarm an armed system • Silence an active alarm • Reset a fire alarm The Master EZ-IFOB supplied with your system will perform all of these functions, plus it may also be used to add up to 5 additional EZ-IFOBs to the system.
LOST KEY MODE Lost Key Mode In the event that the keys to your deadbolt are lost or stolen, the system may still be used by arming in the Lost Key mode. In Lost Key mode, the system may be armed as usual, however unlocking the deadbolt will not disarm the system. The system may only be disarmed with the EZ-IFOB digital key. Simultaneously hold down the STAY and AWAY buttons for 4 seconds to put the system in the Lost Key mode. The Trouble TBL light will begin to pulse.
