• Arm (away)your code

  • An LED keypad's READY light must be on; an LCD shows SYSTEM READY. You can't arm with a zone open.
  • Not ready? An LED keypad lights the zones that aren't ready; an LCD shows SYSTEM NOT READY and the zone. Close them, or bypass them.
  • Key in your 4-digit code. The ARM light comes on and an LCD shows ON AWAY.
  • Leave through your entry/exit door before the exit delay ends.

• Arm while homeSTAYyour codeorINSTANTSTAYyour code

  • Stay arms the outside doors and windows but leaves the inside zones off, so you can move about.
  • When the system is ready, press [STAY], then your code. The ARM light comes on, plus STAY on an LED keypad; an LCD shows ON: STAY.
  • No entry delay as well: [INSTANT] and [STAY] in either order, then your code (ON: STAY INSTANT). Anyone coming in sets it off at once.
  • [INSTANT] on its own arms the inside zones too, so it's not for staying home.
  • Stay and Instant are cleared when you disarm. Disarm before you go out.

• Bypass a zoneBYPASSyour codezone

  • Each detector or door contact is a zone. A bypassed zone is not protected while the system is armed.
  • With the system disarmed, press [BYPASS], key in your code, then the zone number (1 to 6).
  • A beep confirms it. An LED keypad blinks the zone's light slowly; an LCD shows the bypassed zone on its second line.
  • For another zone within 10 seconds, press [BYPASS] and the zone number. Do the same again to unbypass.
  • Fire zones can't be bypassed. Bypassed burglary zones normally go back to normal when you disarm.

  • Press [#] and [*] at the same time. It works 24 hours a day, armed or not.
  • On an XL4600SM keypad, pressing the two keys marked P together does the same.
  • Your installer sets it to be silent or to sound the siren. Key in your code to reset a sounding panic.
  • Forced to disarm? If your installer has set up ambush, user code 6 also sends an emergency signal.

• Trouble lights

  • On an LED keypad, the zone lights and status lights show the system's state. A pulsing keypad sounder means a trouble, or a fire alarm if the bells are going too.
  • Mains off for 15 minutes, or a low battery, makes the keypad buzzer pulse. Key in your code to silence it.
  • After disarming, key your code in again to clear an alarm or trouble from the display and silence the keypad.
  • Several short beeps (the ringback) mean a signal got through to the monitoring station.
  • Call your installer about any trouble you can't clear.
