See Night Mode note below
NOTES: On commercial systems, Away Auto Stay mode is displayed as Away (with all zones monitored). However, some
interior zones may not be armed.
On residential systems only, Night Mode arms all perimeter zones plus all zones listed in your system's Zone List 5.
Refer to the system's documentation for more information on Zone Lists.
The Voice Status Sounder icon indicates the Voice feature. Touch the Voice Status Sounder icon to hear system status. Wait
3 seconds and press again to hear Zone Faults or Trouble conditions. Voice status will annunciate even if Voice mode and Chime
mode are disabled. Note that the Voice feature must be enabled (by the installer) for this icon to function correctly during an alarm
condition.
There is a communicator delay of 30 seconds. This delay will prevent a report to the central station if the system is disarmed within
30 seconds after an intrusion alarm is triggered. This delay can be removed, or it can be increased up to 45 seconds at the option
of the user by consulting with the installer. Note that emergency, carbon monoxide, and fire-type alarms are normally reported
without delay.
