Getting started
with smarter security
Practice makes perfect
By default, your security system
is in Test Mode for 48 hours.
We want you to feel confident operating your new system and reduce the chance
of false alarms. For this reason, your security system is in Test Mode for the first
48 hours after installation. During this time, we encourage you to practice with
the system and get used to how it works. Turn to Alarm processes on pages
14 to 18 to learn more about using your system.
While your system is in Test Mode, our central monitoring station will not respond
to alarms and as a result, emergency services will not be dispatched during this time.
This will allow you to practice with your system risk free.
Safety Tip
The Test Mode period is the ideal time
to complete your account setup process.
Please work through the checklist on pages
10 to 13 during your first 48 hours.
