Latchkey; System Status - GE Simon XT User Manual

Latchkey

Use the latchkey feature to notify you, via a remote phone, if a family member does not arrive home at a
predetermined time and disarm the system. When this feature is active, a latchkey alarm is reported if the
premises are not disarmed by the programmed latchkey time. For example, if you set the Latchkey time for
3:00 p.m. and the system is not disarmed by that time a message is sent to your remote phone. The latchkey
feature can be activated during arming if a latchkey time is programmed.
To activate the latchkey feature:
1. Press MOTIONS twice. If a code is required, enter your code after the first press of the MOTIONS
button, then press MOTIONS a second time.
2. The panel MOTIONS light will blink and the exit delay will begin.

System status

Press STATUS (no code is required) to cause the system to display and speak the following types of
information:
• Alarm conditions
• Alarm history
• Trouble conditions
• Open sensors
• Bypassed sensors
The STATUS button blinks when an active alarm exists. The STATUS button is lit when an abnormal
condition such as a trouble or open sensor exists in the system.
You can clear certain status entries from the system (such as old alarm history) by pressing DISARM after
checking the status.
