Duress signal

The duress function activates a silent signal to alert security personnel. For example, if you are asked, under
threat, to breach your system's security this function lets you do so while at the same time activating the system
duress feature. However, your system must be programmed to use it.
The duress function requires that you use a duress digit in conjunction with your PIN code. The duress digit is
the last digit of you PIN code plus one.
Note: Contact your central station company to ensure that they take no further action if duress was activated under
conditions that are no longer valid (false alarm), and it has been reset.
Example: PIN = 1234 Duress digit = 5 (if the last digit of your PIN code is 9, the duress digit is 0)
To activate duress, do the following:
1. Enter your PIN code without the last digit (1 2 3, in the example above).
Note: Using your PIN code with the duress digit still activates the functions associated with the PIN code.
2. Enter the duress digit (5, in the example above).
3. Press OFF (see Figure 1 )or ON/NEXT (see Figure 1 ) or ENTER (see Figure 1 ).
4. To reset the duress function (turn off the silent signal), enter a valid PIN code.
