Bypassing Zones
Use the zone bypassing feature when you need access to a protected area while the system is
armed, or when a zone is temporarily out of service but you need to arm the system. Bypassed
zones will not be able to sound an alarm. Bypassing zones reduces the level of security. If you
are bypassing a zone because it is not working, call a service technician immediately so that the
problem can be resolved and your system returned to proper working order. Ensure that no
zones are unintentionally bypassed when arming your system. Zones cannot be bypassed once
the system is armed. Bypassed zones (except for 24-hr zones) are automatically cancelled each
time the system is disarmed and must be bypassed again, if required, before the next arming.
With the system disarmed:
