The Setting options allow you to adjust this touch screen’s

screen chime feature on or off. This feature will enable this
touch screen to speak or beep when a door opens. The
security panel chime must be enabled. Refer to the security
panel documentation for information on this feature.
Lights. If you have a Simon XT v1.4, touch Control to
access the light screen. From the Light screen, you can
select all programmed lights on, or all programmed lights off
or individually select whether your lights are on or off. (Light
status is not indicated on this screen). If you have a Simon
XT v1.3, touch the On or Off button to control lights within
your system.
Door Locks. If you have a Simon XT v1.4, touch Control to

minutes of inactivity to maximize battery life.

daily for 60 minutes.

year and after any significant power outage.
1. Remove the touch screen from the mounting plate by
inserting a small screwdriver into the slot on the bottom of
the touch screen.
2. Replace all batteries being sure to follow the polarity
instructions (replace with four 1.5 V, Alkaline AAA
batteries).
