• Arm (away)your code#

  • Start disarmed, with no zone light flashing from an earlier alarm. If one is, clear it first (see Alarm memory).
  • Key in your user code, then press #. Leave no more than 10 seconds between digits.
  • Two beeps, and the EXIT/ARMED light flashes. Leave by the exit door before the exit time runs out.
  • One long beep and a steady EXIT/ARMED light mean it is armed. Five beeps mean a wrong code: key it in again.
  • Code, *, 2, # arms at once with no exit time. Use it only if the keypad is outside the protected area.

  • The lights of the zones left off keep flashing, to show those zones are not protected.

• Disarmyour code#

  • Come in by the door with the entry delay. You have 30 seconds unless your installer changed it.
  • The keypad sounds through the entry time, unless entry beeping has been turned off.
  • Key in your code, then press #. Two beeps, and the EXIT/ARMED light goes out.
  • Five beeps mean the code was wrong. Wait for them to stop, then key it in again.

• Bypass a zoneyour codeISOLATEzone#

  • The HA-982 calls bypassing isolating, and you do it as you arm. Each detector or door contact is a zone, 1 to 8.
  • Start disarmed with no alarm memory. Key in your code, press ISOLATE, key in each zone to leave off, then press #.
  • Two beeps and the exit time starts. The isolated zones' lights flash the whole time: those zones are not protected.
  • Disarming ends the isolation. Isolate a 24-hour zone only if you really have to.
  • By default a zone still open when the exit time ends is isolated for you. With ARM PROHIBITED set, the system won't arm instead.

• Alarm memoryyour code*3#

  • After an alarm, once you have disarmed, the zone lights flash to show which zones went off.
  • The memory stays until you clear it, and you must clear it before you can arm again.
  • To clear it, key in your code, then *, 3, #. The flashing zone lights go out and the system stays disarmed.
  • Or key in your code, then *, 6, # to clear it and arm in one go. Two beeps, and the exit time starts.

• Panic alarmhold*+#

  • Hold down any two keys together for 3 seconds, such as * and #. It works at any time.
  • The keypad gives two beeps and the siren sounds. The keypad itself shows no sign of the alarm.
  • If your system reports alarms, a panic report goes to the monitoring company or the dialler's phone numbers.
  • Forced to disarm? Key in your code with its first digit 2 higher (1357 becomes 3357; a first digit 8 becomes 0), then #.
  • This works only if your system reports alarms: it turns the system off, sounds no siren and sends a silent duress alarm.

• Trouble lights

  • The eight numbered lights above the keys are the zones. The lights on the left show the state of the system.
