Verify with your alarm company that your system is equipped with emergency keys. Having an
optional audio verification module installed on your system allows the monitoring station to open
communication when notified of an alarm.

Silencing a fire alarm

following steps:
1. On the keypad, enter your access code.

Bells Silenced LCD display for fire alarms
If you silence a fire alarm by entering a user code, and the zone that initiated the fire alarm remains
open, a Bells Silenced message displays. The system automatically clears the message when all the
fire zones are restored on the system. When the Bells Silenced message displays, a user can still
view all standard base menu messages by using the manual Scroll button.
Note: The Bells Silenced message also overrides the automatic display of the Alarm Memory
feature for fire alarms.
