Keypad cheat sheet

• Arm (away)your codeOnor#On

  • Close up first: the green Status light must be on steady, and a DS7447 must read 'Ready to Arm'.
  • Key in your PIN (your code), then press [On].
  • The red Armed light flashes and the keypad beeps once; a DS7447 shows 'Exit Now'. Leave; the light goes steady when the exit time ends.
  • If your installer turned on Quick Arming, [#] then [On] works without a PIN.
  • Your PIN, [No Entry], [On] arms with no entry delay (Maximum Security), so opening any door sets it off.

• Arm while homeyour codePerimeter Onlyoryour codeNo EntryPerimeter Only

  • Perimeter arming guards only the outside doors and windows, so you can move about inside.
  • Your PIN, then [Perimeter Only]: the entry delay still works for someone coming home.
  • Your PIN, [No Entry], then [Perimeter Only]: no entry delay, so opening an outside door sets it off at once.
  • The red Armed light flashes during the exit time, then stays on. A DS7445 lights its yellow Perimeter light.
  • With Quick Arming on, press [#] in place of your PIN.

  • Your PIN and [Off] also silence any alarm, fire alarms included.
  • A pulsed tone as you come in, or bells going, means an alarm while you were out. Stay out until emergency services have checked it.

  • Have your installer identify and label them. In an emergency, hold the appropriate key for 2 seconds.
  • Your PIN and [Off] cancel or silence the alarm.
