Keypad cheat sheet

• Arm (away)your code#or1#

  • Key in your code, then press #. Button 1 on a Lynx remote does the same.
  • If every zone is clear you hear a steady tone, and the yellow status light and the lights of the zones being armed come on.
  • The keypad keeps sounding for the whole exit time. That is your cue to leave.
  • Flashing zone lights with a pulsing tone mean a zone is not secure. On some systems that is normal: ask your security company.
  • If your installer has turned on single button arming, 1 then # arms without a code.

• Disarmyour code#

  • As you come in, the keypad beeps through the entry time. Disarm before it ends or the alarm sounds.
  • Key in your code, then press #. Button 1 on a remote does the same (button 2 after night mode), except during a full alarm.
  • Two short beeps, and the yellow status light goes out. One long tone means the code was wrong.
  • A flashing zone light shows the zone that went into alarm. Note the number and tell your security company.
  • Your code and # also stops a fire alarm or any other alarm, at any keypad.
