Activated from keypads only, a Duress-Disarming alarm can be activated by all system
users during a "duress" emergency situation (typically, where a user is forced to disarm the
system against their will). Duress disarming "silently" disarms the system (no alarms will
sound at the premises) while it simultaneously sends a duress alarm to the monitoring
station, which in turn can quickly notify responding agencies, such as the police.
Instead of entering a user code, the user enters the special Duress-Disarming code instead
(see Creating or Editing the Duress-Disarming Code, page 18).
[For Proximity Users]: If a user has already armed the system using a Proximity tag, the
user can activate a Duress-Disarming alarm by using the duress code only (the user should
not use the tag).
IMPORTANT: The same code is used by all system users, and it should be kept confidential
from non-users.
CAUTION: A Duress-Disarming alarm should be activated only when needed and not
haphazardly, as monitoring stations and responding agencies treat duress alarms seriously
and may take immediate action.
