Using the
1 OFF Key
I M P O R T A N T :
If you return and the
main burglary sounder is
on, DO NOT ENTER, but
CONTACT THE POLICE from a
nearby safe location.
If you return after an
alarm has occurred and
the main sounder has
shut itself off, the keypad
will beep rapidly upon your
entering, indicating that an

The OFF key is used to disarm the system and to silence alarm and trouble sounds.
To Disarm the System
Enter your security code and press the OFF key.
The "Ready" message will be displayed, and the keypad will emit a single tone to
confirm that the system is disarmed.
To Silence a Burglary Alarm
SEE IMPORTANT NOTE AT LEFT!
Enter your security code and press the OFF key to silence the alarm (or warning
tones of a Memory of Alarm).
Note the zone in alarm on the keypad display, and make that zone intact (close door,
window, etc.). Now enter the security code plus OFF sequence again to clear the
keypad's Memory of Alarm display. If the display will not clear and does not provide a
"Ready" message, notify the alarm agency.
To Silence a Fire Alarm
Simply press the OFF key (the security code is not needed to silence FIRE alarms).
To then clear the keypad's Memory of Alarm display, enter your security code and press
the OFF key again. See page 29 for additional fire alarm information.
A FIRE alarm is an interrupted/pulsed sound. A BURGLARY alarm is a continuous/steady sound.
