Keypad cheat sheet

• Arm (away)your code

  • Close the doors and windows. The green SECURE light (READY on some keypads) must be on, or the system will not arm.
  • Key in your 4-digit code. The red ARMED light comes on. Leave before the exit delay ends.
  • Three beeps means the code was not accepted. Press [#] and key it in again.
  • Non-stop beeping after your code means the mains power is off, or there is a fire alarm or fire trouble. Your code quietens it.
  • If your installer set up a one-key Quick Arm digit, it arms without a code. It cannot disarm.

• Arm while home0

  • The 300 Series calls this Entry-Guard. It works if your installer has turned it on.
  • Press the Entry-Guard digit, [0] from the factory. Page 1 of your manual shows the digit used.
  • After 5 seconds the ARMED light comes on, and the PARTIAL light on an LED keypad (an LCD keypad shows SYSTEM ARMED PARTIAL). Some zones are left off.
  • If a watched zone trips, the keypad sounds for a set time before the siren and any report.
  • To turn Entry-Guard off, key in your 4-digit code. Unless your installer changed it, the Entry-Guard digit alone works too.

  • Come in through your usual entry door. The keypad gives a steady tone during the entry delay.
  • Key in your code before the delay ends. The ARMED light goes off and the tone stops.

  • In that case leave straight away and call your alarm company or the police.
