About Symphony/Symphony-i
Introduction to Symphony/Symphony-i
Congratulations on your ownership of a First Alert Security System. You've made a
wise decision in choosing it, for it represents the latest in security protection
technology today.
This security system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire and
emergency. To realize the full potential of the system, it is important that you feel
comfortable operating it. Your system may consist of:
• Symphony/Symphony-i Advanced User Interface
• One or more Keypads for system control
• Various sensors for perimeter and interior burglary protection, plus a selected
number of strategically placed smoke or combustion detectors
• Home automation devices.
UL
The control of the home environment feature has not been evaluated by UL.
The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all zones, and provides
appropriate information for display on the Symphony/Symphony-i and/or Keypads
used with the system. Your system may also have been programmed to
automatically transmit alarm or status messages over the phone lines to a central
alarm monitoring station.
The Symphony/Symphony-i Interface
Symphony/Symphony-i is an intuitive, graphical interface that combines security
and home control with interactive Internet features. With clear, simple controls on a
touch-screen interface, the entire family will find Symphony/Symphony-i both easy
to learn and easy to use.
As a security and home-automation control, Symphony/Symphony-i can be used for:
• Quick and easy security system operation
• Control of the home environment, including the heating and air-conditioning
system, lights, garage door, etc.
UL
The control of the home environment feature has not been evaluated by UL.
As a household Internet appliance, Symphony/Symphony-i provides access to a
wealth of information, including:
• News
• Sports

• Weather
• e-mail, and
• Live updates of user-selectable content such as your horoscope.
Keeping pace with advances in technology, Symphony/Symphony-i will continue to
provide additional Internet functionality, as it becomes available.
Navigating through Symphony/Symphony-i
Navigation through Symphony/Symphony-i typically begins from the "Home"
screen. This is Symphony/Symphony-i’s main default screen (starting screen) and is
the first screen you will see when Symphony/Symphony-i is powered up and
initialized. It is from this screen that you will select from the main menu. Once you
have made your selection, you will navigate through various sub-menus by touching
buttons or icons to perform the function you desire.
About Your Home Screen
Your "Home" screen is the gateway to your Symphony/Symphony-i Advanced User
Interface. From this screen you can:
• access e-mail messages
• control the premises lighting, and most importantly,
• control your security system.
UL
The control of the home environment feature has not been evaluated by UL.
Besides using your personal "Home" screen for E-mail messages, you may also
receive news/display and retrieve additional information of your choosing.
Your "Home" screen is displayed at all times, except when the system is armed or
you select another screen option.

Symphony/Symphony-i "Arming" Screen
From the "Home" screen, press SECURITY to access the Symphony/Symphony-i
"Arming" screen. Use this picture and the table that follows to become familiar with
the Symphony/Symphony-i security functions.
ITEM FUNCTION
AWAY
Press this button to arm when no one will be staying on the premises. When
armed in AWAY, the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or window
is opened, or if any movement is detected inside the premises. You may leave
through the entrance door during the exit delay period without causing an
alarm. You may also re-enter through the entrance door, but must disarm the
system with your User Code within the entry delay period or an alarm will
occur.
STAY
Press this button to arm when you are staying home, but might expect
someone to use the entrance door later.
When armed in STAY, the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or
window is opened, but you may otherwise move freely throughout the
premises. Late arrivals can enter through the entrance door without causing an
alarm, but they must disarm the system within the entry delay period or an
alarm will occur.
NIGHT Press this button to arm when you are staying home and do not expect anyone
to use the entrance door.
Your installer may have configured NIGHT Mode
differently; have him/her describe the actual settings of this mode.
Arm Multi-
Partitions Check this box when you want to arm more than one partition. When Arm
Multi-Partitions is checked, all partitions within the system can be armed at one
time (if the user is so authorized). When the Arm Multi-Partitions circle does
not contain a check mark, each partition must be armed individually.
