Frequently Asked Questions

              

Changing Codes:

Both your code and the maid code can be changed by getting into the code programming mode.  This is done by holding down the * key while the system is disarmed.  Both lights on the keypad will blink for a few seconds then stop with your finger still holding the *.  Now you are in the code programming mode and you can release the * button.  From here there are four things which can be done. You can change your code, change the maid code. Turn the Maid code off, or Make the maid code OK to use. Touch 1 to change your code, and then slowly waiting for the blinks on each keystroke enter the four digits of your code. or touch 2 To change the maid code, and then slowly waiting for the blinks on each keystroke enter the four digits of the maid code. The flash after the 4th digit is entered is quick so you know you got it right. Once programmed in the maid code can be made active or not active by getting into programming ( hold the star until it stops blinking) and then pressing 3 for NOT ACTIVE or 4 for ACTIVE. If the MAID code is NOT ACTIVE, then its use will cause an alarm. Your code will reset it.  You can change the status of the maid code from active to not active as many times as you like.  You will not need to reprogram the code numbers each time you enable or disable it.

Bypassing Zones:

With the system disarmed, to bypass one or more zones, touch and release the  # key and when the blinking stops press keys 1-5 depending on which zone or zones you wish to bypass.  When you are done with your bypass selections press * and release.  Everything can be made alive again by just pressing #  (wait for the blinks) and then *.
