Understanding the Screen
The TouchScreen screen is used to interface with your security system. It provides:
A real-time view of the system statuses
Tools to manage your security system
Additional optional applications
If the screen is black (showing nothing) this is because the system is not receiving A/C power. The display
is powered off to conserve battery life.
The screen is divided into the following operational sections:
Security Status Header (see page 12)
System & Zone Trouble Header (see page 13)
Date/Time Bar (see TouchScreen Device & Home Screen on page 11)
Content Area (see page 18)
Security Status Header
The Security Status header displays in the upper left hand of the TouchScreen. It tells you whether the
system is armed or disarmed and other information. Tap this header to arm or disarm the system.
Also, during troubles that would prevent arming (such as a monitored door or window being opened) an
announcement replaces the Arm/Disarm status.
If you tap this header at that time, the TouchScreen presents the Arm System tab of the Security widget.
