Introduction
Your VoiceNav is an intuitive interface for users of your security system. Utilising the latest in touch
screen technology, and coupled with a powerful onboard microprocessor, and inbuilt phrase library,
your Hills VoiceNav delivers the most user friendly experience for controlling a security system
available today. Its voice prompts enabling even the newest users to utilise the full power of your
security system, without the need of constantly referencing back to this instruction booklet. You can
also customise your VoiceNav with personalised recordings of user names, zone names, area names,
and even room names when you utilise the onboard intercom functionality. How about leaving a
message for the next person entering the premises, or a reminder message when exiting the
premises, its easy.
We trust that you will enjoy your VoiceNav, and we would like to thank you for choosing a Hills
Security System.
All users of your security system should read and follow the instructions and precautions in this
manual before operating your security system. Failure to do so could result in the security system not
working properly.
This manual should be kept in an accessible location for the life of the security system. If you do not
understand any part of this manual, you should ask your service provider for further clarification. Read
the entire manual and if possible, practice on the VoiceNav whilst your security provider is on site.
Your security system can be turned on (armed) and off (disarmed) by entering a 4 or 6 digit code on
the touch screen of your the VoiceNav.
You may be able to turn on (arm) your security system by simply touching the [Away] key. Check with
your security provider to see if this feature has been enabled.
The system must always be turned off (disarmed) using a 4 or 6 digit code.
Do not apply excessive force on the touch screen as this could cause damage to the unit. Touch the
screen gently, using the flat part of your finger to activate the keys.
Your VoiceNav is equipped with 5 indicator icons, 8 area led’s, 3 emergency keys, a [MENU] key, and
an [ENTER] key, along with the normal numeric digits 0 – 9. All these indicators are aided by voice
prompts on how to use the system and specific information relating to the status of your security
system is also announced. Understanding what the lights mean, and listening to the instructions
announced will help you to easily operate your security system.
Keep in mind, the level of security you will obtain with this system relates specifically with two major
factors:
 The quantity, quality, and placement of security devices attached to this security system.
 The knowledge you have of the security system and how that knowledge is utilized in a
weekly test of the complete system.

way Arming
A
way arming is used when you are leaving and you want the premises protected in your absence.
If your service provider has enabled the “forced arming” feature, you will be able to arm your security
system with pre-programmed zones not secure. IE: the front door may be left open and the status
light would still show green, allowing you to arm your security system. Your VoiceNav will announce
all zones that are not secure when armed.
You may arm your system by entering your 4 or 6 digit user pin code, or if your service provider has
enabled the quick arm feature, you can simply touch the Away key.
Step How to: Arm your system in the “Away Mode”

Stay Arming
VoiceNav User Manual Hills Industries® V0.3

Stay arming is used when the user is staying in the premises and they wish to arm certain zones
and bypass others IE: Arming the perimeter of the premises, whilst automatically bypassing all the
internal movement sensors. If an active zone is alarmed whilst your security system is armed in the
stay mode, it will initiate an entry delay warning tone at your VoiceNav, your sirens will sound at the
end of this warning. This delay warning time is predetermined by your service provider at the time o
f
installation.
Step How to: Arm your system in the “Stay Mode”
1. Close all protected windows and doors. If movement sensors are included in your “stay mode”
have everyone move out of those rooms.

Disarming
Make your way to the VoiceNav through one of the designated entry / exit doors. When you are
detected entering, your VoiceNav will repeat a warning message for the duration of the entry dela
y
until a valid pin code is entered. Your sirens and communicator will activate at the end of the entr
y
delay time if a valid pin code is not entered. Away and Stay modes can be configured with different
entry delay times, ask your service provider for further details.

reas, also known as partitions, are groups of zones that can be controlled independently.
If your security system is configured with multiple areas, the individual area condition is indicated at
the bottom of your VoiceNav with the area numbers 1 to 8.
The authorization level assigned to user pin codes governs which areas that user can control, so if a
user has limited area control, when they enter their pin code, only those areas assigned to their pin
code will be selectable. To then have trouble free multi area control, listen and follow all the voice
prompts.

Intercom Room Calling
Up to eight VoiceNavs can be configured to deliver very powerful intercom functionality, with global
calling or room-to-room connectivity. When VoiceNavs are used as intercoms, they are referred to as
room stations. Further customization of individual room stations is done within the mute menu o
f
individual room stations, which is discussed in detail on page 39 and 40.

Understanding the Main Menu Structure
VoiceNav User Manual Hills Industries® V0.3
15

To Control Zone Bypass MENU
The bypass menu is used to bypass (isolate) selected zones in your security system.
A
bypassed zone is not capable of activating an alarm, as it is temporarily removed
from your system. This option is commonly used to bypass zones that require
service, or zones that you wish to add to your “stay mode” like an additional guests
bedroom. Whilst still offering security on the remaining zones, bypassing lowers you
r
level of security and caution should be exercised. All isolated zones are reset and
cleared from memory when your security system is next armed / disarmed cycle.
Your security system must be disarmed (turned off) before being able to bypass
zones. After bypassing your selected zones, your security system must be armed
(turned On) in either the away or stay mode to secure the remaining zones.
