Arming Your System
Note: Before arming, ensure all doors and windows are closed.
1. On the home screen, hit the padlock labeled [Press to Arm]
2. Choose one of the following:
a. [Doors & Windows Only], otherwise known as Stay Mode. Any Motion Sensors are bypassed
and you are free to move around. Opening a door will trigger the Entry Delay.
b. [ArmAll], otherwise known as Away mode. Once the Exit Delay expires, all zones, including
Motion Sensors, will be armed.
3. The system will begin the countdown immediately. To cancel, hit [Cancel Arming].
Note 1: If you do not want to hear the exit beeps, press [Silent Exit ON]. This will silence the
beeping and it will give you two minutes of Exit Delay instead of one.
Note 2: Press [Entry Delay Off] if you want your alarm to go off immediately when a door has been
opened, without any Entry Delay.
Disarming Your System
1. Touch [Press to Disarm] and then key in your 4 digit code
OR
2. Touch the red surface and then key in your master code (if the system went into alarm during the
last arming period).
Changing Codes
1. Touch the 'gear' icon on the lower right of the screen to get to the settings menu.
2. Scroll down and select [Programming], followed by your existing 4 digit master code.
3. Touch the icon labeled [Access Codes].
4. Now the Master Code will appear, followed by the user codes 1 to 5. Touch the white box next to
the code you want to change and either enter a new code, or hit [Delete].
5. To change codes 6-8 or the Duress Code, scroll down to the next page.
6. Be sure to hit the [Save] button in the top right-hand corner before leaving the screen.
7. Exit Code Programming by hitting the [Close] button in the top right-hand corner twice.
8. It is a good idea to test your code immediately to confirm that it saved correctly.

Testing Your System Communication
Note: It is very important that you test your system weekly, as per your monitoring agreement!
Note: Call the monitoring station first to place your account on test (API Monitoring 1-800-268-6870).
Once the test is completed, confirm with the monitoring station that they received the test signal and take
your system off test.

2. Scroll down and select [System Test].
3. Enter your 4-digit code and hit [OK].
4. Touch [Comm Test]. The display will say 'communication test is on'. While the test is in progress
your telephone line will be cut off.
5. If communication test is successful, display will say “Communications Sent OK”.
6. Touch close on the upper right of the screen twice to go back to the main screen.
Trouble Beeps – Call Reed Security for service 306-653-3200
Six rapid beeps every minute indicates a trouble situation. To temporarily silence the beeping, press
[Status] or enter your code. The beeps will resume after four hours unless the trouble condition is
corrected. Pressing the 'gear' button and then pressing the [Listen] button (next to panel status) will show
the cause of the trouble on the display. Common troubles are power failures, low batteries, sensor
trouble, and communication trouble.
Note: If it is not possible to resolve the trouble condition immediately (i.e. you have to wait for service)
there is a way to decrease the volume of the beeps. Push the 'gear' button and scroll down until you see
[Beep Volume]. You cannot turn it off, but you can reduce it to a very low level.
Replacing the Main Backup Battery
1. Ensure your system is disarmed.
2. Using a small screwdriver, carefully pry off the white plastic frame from the front of the Keypad.
3. Raise the two tabs now exposed at the top of the Keypad and pull the display forward. It will
swing down and hang upside down, allowing access to the battery.
4. Disconnect the battery by simply pulling black socket (with the red and black leads) out.
5. Remove the old battery completely by pulling the plastic tab on the right of the battery.
6. Find and unplug the large white transformer that powers the Alarm System. Sometimes this is
very close to the Keypad, or it may be plugged in in a Utility Room or closet.
7. Snap the new battery into its compartment and plug in the black socket.
8. Finally, plug the transformer back in, close the keypad and put the frame back on.
9. Press the 'gear' icon, hit [Clear] (next to panel status) and then hit [Listen]. You should hear
“System is O.K.”
