VoiceNav keypad cheat sheet

  • Arm (away)your codeorAWAY
    • Shut the doors and windows and make sure everyone has left. The STATUS key should be lit green.
    • Key in your 4 or 6 digit code. If your service provider has turned on quick arming, touching AWAY does it.
    • Leave straight away. The AWAY key lights red while the system is armed in Away mode.
    • With forced arming set up, you can arm with some doors still open; the VoiceNav names the zones not yet closed.
    • Several areas (AWAY and STAY unlit)? Key in your code, then AWAY for all your areas, or an area number then AWAY for one.

    • Touch STAY. The STAY key lights yellow.
    • If an armed zone is set off, the VoiceNav gives a warning tone first, then the sirens sound.
    • With more than one area (AWAY and STAY both unlit), key in your code first and follow the voice prompts.

Why is my keypad beeping or showing a trouble light?

Most keypads beep or light up a trouble indicator when something needs attention, such as a low backup battery, a power cut or a lost phone or internet connection. Your user guide explains what each light or code means on your model. If it keeps happening, or you are not sure, call your installer or monitoring company.

Is anyone watching your alarm?

An alarm that only makes a noise relies on someone hearing it. A monitored alarm reports to our A1 graded, NZSA approved control room, watched 24/7 by a team that is New Zealand owned and operated. We can monitor most existing alarms, so you may not need a new one. Thinking about a new alarm or security cameras? Ask us for a quote.
