The SECURITY CONTROL can be turned on (ARMED) and off (DISARMED) by entering a 4 or 6 digit code into the Keypad Control, which is similar to a telephone keypad.

These provide specific information relating to the status of the security system which is described in the booklet. Understanding what the lights and sounds mean will help you to easily operate your system. KEEP IN MIND, THE LEVEL OF SECURITY YOU WILL OBTAIN WITH THIS SYSTEM RELATES SPECIFICALLY WITH TWO MAJOR FACTORS: 1. The quantity, quality, and placement of security devices attached to this system. 2. The knowledge you have of the security system and how that knowledge is utilized in a weekly test of the complete system. YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING FACTS WHEN PREPARING A SAFETY/SECURITY PLAN FOR YOUR HOME/BUSINESS. 1. Your security system is an electronic device and is subject to failure or malfunction. Do not rely on it as your single source of security. 2. Your system should be tested weekly. 3. Your system will not work without power. 4. Warning devices will need to be loud enough, wired correctly, and properly placed to provide notification of an alarm event. 5. Smoke and heat detectors may not detect heat and smoke in all situations. 6. Use qualified security professionals to install and maintain your security system. 7. It may be possible to arm the security system without the backup battery connected. Your periodic test should be done with A.C. Power removed to verify the battery is connected and adequately charged. 8. Care should be taken to plug in and restrain the A.C. Transformer after testing. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SECURITY CONTROL SYSTEM.
