Frequently Asked Questions:

 

Q. I can't arm my system.

 

A. Try the following:

1. If arming to Level 2-STAY or Level 3-AWAY, make sure all monitored perimeter doors and windows are closed.

2. Press ‚ for a system status and for clues to the problem.

3. Call US Alarm for service.

 

Q. I cannot bypass a sensor: my alphanumeric touchpad displays "INVALID" and my fixed display touchpad sounds a single, long beep.

 

A. Possible explanations include:

1. The sensor you're trying to bypass may not be active in the current arming level. For example, an interior motion detector will not be active in Level 2-STAY.

2. Some sensors can be bypassed only in certain levels. For example, motion sensors in Level 3-AWAY.

3. You may be trying to bypass a 24-hour sensor than cannot be bypassed, such as a smoke detector.

 

Q. I can't arm my system to Level 3-AWAY.

 

A. If a delay door is open while you're trying to arm the system to Level 3, the system will arm to Level 2 instead. Close the delay door, arm the system to Level 3, then exit through a delay door.

 

Q. How do I disable my system long enough to retrieve messages from work or to do banking over the phone?

 

A. Solutions include:

1. Disengage the security system from local phone control by entering # + 7 + 3. The system responds by returning a dial tone.

2. Pick up the phone receiver and wait 5 seconds before dialing any numbers. After the 5 second period, the system disables local phone control and ignores phone commands.

3. Siren Issues

 

Q. When testing my wireless siren, unplugging it does not cause any test results.

 

A. The test procedure described in "Testing the System" applies only if the siren is supervised. If the system does not acknowledge the sensor test with two beeps, or the alphanumeric touchpad does not display "SENSOR nn OK," your wireless siren may be unsupervised. Check the User Sheets in Appendix A or ask your installer.
