Tur ning Off 
Your System
1. If you are outside, enter through the entry/exit door. The keypad beeps to 
remind you to turn off the system.
NOTE: Entering by any other door will immediately cause an alarm. 
If you are inside, go to the keypad (the keypad will not beep). 
2. Enter your [access code]. If you have entered from outside, you must enter the 
correct access code before the keypad stops beeping. If you do not enter a valid 
access code during this time, the system will sound an alarm.
NOTE: If you have entered the wrong code the keypad will sound one long 
beep - try again to enter the correct code.
As soon as you enter the correct code, the red (Armed) light turns OFF and the 
keypad stops beeping. 
3. If an alarm occurred while the system was on, the NT9010 will announce: “Sys-
tem is off. There are (number) alarms in memory: {Zone XX}.” See Checking 
Alarms in Memory on page 16.
CAUTION: If you return and find that an alarm has occurred while you 
were away, it is possible that an intruder may still be on the premises. Go to 
a nearby safe location, and call your central station or the local authorities 
to investigate. The alarm memory is cleared each time the system is turned 
on, so any alarms showing have occurred only during the last time the sys-
tem was on.
Other Ways to 
Tur n Your 
System On 
There are two basic methods for turning on your security system. 
• Away: Use this method when everyone will be away from the premises. See 
page 11.
• Stay: Use this method when one or more people will stay on the premises. See 
page 12.
You can also use any of the following methods to turn on your system (see pages 
10 to 11): 
• Quick Arming: Turn on your system without having to enter an access code. 
Your installer must turn on this feature before it will work.
• “No Entry” Arming: Turn on your system with no entry time - use this method 
when no one else will be entering the premises.
• Automatic Arming: The system will turn itself on at pre-set times. Your 
installer must turn on this feature before it will work.
NOTE: When turning on your system from a remote telephone, the system 
will automatically be in Stay mode. (See Turning On Your System While 
You Are At Home (Stay Mode) on page 12.)
