SECTION 3–
BASIC SYSTEM OPERATIONS
This section describes how to perform the basic system operations, including: using access codes, 
entering and exiting the premises, turning the system on and off, and activating emergency alarms. 
Using Access Codes
An access code is a four-digit number that lets you operate the system and prevents unau-
thorized use of the system. An access code is required for most system commands (unless 
you are using the Magic Key™).
WARNING: Select access codes you and other system users will 
remember. If you forget your primary access code, con-
tact your security consultant.
Primary Access Code
The primary access code allows you to perform all system commands. The sys-
tem allows you to have one primary access code. The default primary access 
code is 1234. You should change your primary access code from the default to a 
number that you can remember.

To change your primary access code
:
1. Enter primary 
ACCESS CODE + STATUS + 8.
The panel beeps once.
2. Enter the new primary 
ACCESS CODE.
After five seconds, the panel announces, 
[new primary access code] OK
, 
indicating that the primary access code was changed.
NOTE: Because the first two digits of your duress code are the 
same as the first two digits of the primary access code, 
when you change the primary access code, the duress 
code also changes (see "Silent Duress Alarm" on page 25).
NOTE: If your temporary access code is disabled, then changing 
your primary access code will automatically make your 
old primary access code
 the new temporary access 
code. If you want the temporary access code to remain 
disabled, you must disable it again using your new primary
