Each Quad Key TM button on your system represents Detection Areas of
your security system (doors, windows, garage, exterior, etc…) or Custom
ArmingModes(Away, Home, Night). By selecting the appropriate Quad KeyTM
andpressing the button,userscan easilyselect the level ofsecurity they
desire.
If you would like to deselect a Quad Key TM before arming, press the key a
second time. Then, either select another Quad Key TM or press to reset
the system to it’s ‘Home’ Mode.
Quad Keys activate pre-assigned zone
groups or pre-configured arming
modes. Turn on the security system by
selecting the appropriate button and
pressing ‘On’.
If your Quad Keys control Arming Modes, only one mode may be used at a
time. To shift from one mode to another, enter your code to disarm and then
re-arm with the mode you desire.
If your Quad Keys control Detection Areas, you may select more than one
area at a time. Additional areas can be added at anytime by pressing the
appropriate Quad Key TM button and pressing . To turn off detection
areas, enter your PIN number to turn-off all detection areas. Then select any
areas you wish to rearm and press .
Quad Keys TM
Vision’s ‘Point & Click’ control makes operating your security system quick
and easy. For most day to day operations you can simply select the area you
wish to secure (A, B, C, or D) and press . If your security system is ‘On’
(armed), entering a valid User PIN turns-off (disarm) the entire system. If the
entry delay buzzer is sounding during the disarming process, the button
can be pressed before your User PIN to temporarily silence the buzzer.
