How to Program a Caretaker Alarm System

Level 1 (Off)

• 1

  Enter your home. Verify the home is safe by listening for the normal pulsing entry delay beeps.

• 2

  Remove your touchtone phone from the hook and dial "*-C-O-D-E-1." Or, use the alarm system's alphanumeric keypad to disarm the system by pressing "C-O-D-E-1."

• 3

  Listen for one long beep, which indicates the system is disarmed. A voice on the phone will say, "Alarm system is off" and the keypad will display "1-OFF" when the system has been disarmed successfully.

Level 2 (Stay)

• 4

  Dial "*#" to check for any open doors or windows. You can also check by pressing "STATUS" on the keypad. The alarm cannot be armed if any sensors are open.

• 5

  Dial "*-C-O-D-E-2" on the phone. When the system is armed, a voice will say "Alarm system is on Level 2" through the phone. Or, use the keypad to arm the system by pressing "C-O-D-E-2" or "COMMAND," followed by the number 2. The display will then read "2-OK TO EXIT NOW," followed by "2-STAY." You will then hear two beeps, which mean you can exit without triggering the alarm.

• 6

  Direct any departing guests to exit your home before the end of the exit delay period, which occurs when the alarm beeps twice again.

Level 3 (Away)

• 7

  Dial "*#" from your touchtone phone or press "STATUS" on the keypad to check for any open doors or windows.

• 8

  Dial "*-C-O-D-E-3" from the phone. A voice will say, "Alarm system is on Level 3." Or arm the system from the keypad by pressing "C-O-D-E-3" or "COMMAND," followed by the number 3. The display will then read "3-AWAY OK TO EXIT." Three beeps will sound to signify the beginning of the exit delay period.

• 9

  Exit the home before the exit delay period ends, signified by three alarm beeps.
