Ambush Codes
Your system may be programmed to allow user number 1 to be
used as an Ambush code. ThisAmbush code functions identically to
a standard code with the exception that it sends a silent alarm to
the central station. Thissilent alarm alertsthe operator to a duress
situation at the premises and prompts immediate notiÀcation of
authorities.
Refer to the System Setup section of this guide to see if your system
is programmed for Ambush. If so, do NOT p rogram a code for user
number 1 unless you intend to use the Ambush function.

Zone Activity - Zone alarms, troubles, and restorals.
User Code - Adding, deleting, and changing user codes.
