Special chime
Special chime allows you to install motion sensors in a patio or at the front door, and be notified when someone
is approaching those areas. These motion sensors are not used for intrusion protection. The panel will chime
three times, if the special chime mode is enabled.
Note: If there are no special chime sensors in your system, the special chime option will not be shown in the System menu.
Latchkey
Use the latchkey feature to notify you, via a remote phone, if a family member does not arrive home at a
predetermined time and disarm the system. When this feature is active, a latchkey alarm is reported if the
premises are not disarmed by the programmed latchkey time. For example, if you set the latchkey time for 3:00
p.m. and the system is not disarmed by that time a message is sent to your remote phone. The latchkey feature
can be activated during arming if a latchkey time is programmed.
To activate the latchkey feature, do the following:
1. Press Away twice. If a code is required, enter your code after the first press of the Away button, then
press Away a second time.
2. The panel speaks Away latchkey and displays the latchkey icon, and the exit delay will begin.
System status
Press Status (a code may be required) to cause the system to display and speak the following types of
information:
• Alarm conditions
• Alarm history
• Trouble conditions
• Open sensors
• Bypassed sensors
The Status button blinks when an active alarm exists. The Status button is lit when an abnormal condition
such as a trouble or open sensor exists in the system.
You can clear certain status entries from the system (such as old alarm history) by pressing Disarm after
checking the status.
Note: Like the bars on your GSM phone, the panel will indicate the signal level of its GSM module based on the number of boxes
filled in. The more boxes filled, the greater the signal strength. Three or more bars indicates a good signal level, while one bar
or less indicates a weak signal.
