Section 2: Using Your NT9010 System
Operating the 
System from 
the NT9010 
controller
The NT9010 controller provides easy to understand voice prompts to help you to 
use your system.
You can check the current status of your system by pressing the Status button. The 
NT9010 will announce the time, whether the system is currently on (armed) or off 
(disarmed), if any zones are currently open or bypassed (turned off), and if there 
are any trouble conditions currently present on the system. Pressing the Status 
button while the NT9010 is speaking will cause it to stop.
Operating the 
System from 
a Telephone
If your installer has connected your NT9010 system to an incoming telephone line, 
you can access the system using a local telephone (a telephone on your premise). 
You may also be able to use the system from a remote telephone (a telephone not 
on your premise), if your installer has turned on this feature.
Even though you can use a telephone to operate your system, the telephone can 
not display or indicate system status or zones in alarm. Therefore, it is essential 
that you check the NT9010 controller regularly for any changes in system status.
CAUTION: For the security of your codes, DO NOT use a telephone with a 
redial button to arm or disarm your system.
NOTE: The Duress Code should only be used from the local controller and 
not from a local or a remote telephone.
Local Telephone Access
Use this procedure to call your NT9010 system within your home from a telephone 
that is on the same telephone line. No dial-in is necessary.
1. Pick up the telephone handset - you will hear a dial tone. 
2. Enter your 3-digit Telephone Access Code. The dial tone will stop and the sys-
tem will announce:
“Hello.”
3. The system may also say:
“Enter your access code.”
If so, enter your [access code]. 
4. The system announces one or more messages to advise you of its status. Follow 
the voice prompts to use the system functions.
