These secondary users are identified by "usernumbers" when their codes are assigned. You can assign up to 6 user codes (2-digit user numbers 03-08). Note that the master user is the only one who can assign codes to secondary users, and isdesignated user no. 02; user no. 01 is the Installer’s code.All codes can be used interchangeably when performing system functions (a system armed with oneuser's code can be disarmed by another user's code), with the exception of the Babysitter Code describedbelow.Babysitter Code (User 07): This code can be used to arm the system, but cannot disarm the systemunless the system was armed with this code. This code is typically assigned to someone (such as ababysitter) who needs to arm/disarm the system only at certain times. The Babysitter Code is assignedto User 07.Duress Code (User 08): This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm thesystem under threat. When used, the system will act normally, but can silently notify the alarmmonitoring company of your situation, if that service has been provided. Duress Code is assigned toUser 08.The Duress Code is useful only when the system is connected to an alarm monitoringcompany.To Add/Delete a User or Change a User's CodeChanging the Master User CodeFollow the procedure for changing a user's code, but enter User No. 02 and enter the new code twice.IMPORTANT: Temporary users of the system (e.g., babysitters, cleaning staff) should not be shownhow to use any system function they do not need to know, such as bypassing protection zones forexample.Sequential key depressions for all steps in a procedure must be made within 2 seconds of one another,or else the entire entry is aborted and must be repeated from its beginning.Note: The system prevents User Codes (including the duress code) from being duplicated. If you haveattempted to assign a duplicate 4 digit code, 4 beeps will sound and the entry is rejected. Anyprevious existing code will remain unchanged. Choose a different new 4 digit code and repeatthe procedure.Add a user code: + CODE Key + user number (03-08) + user’s codeMaster user codeDelete a user code: + CODE Key + user number (03-08)Master user codeWait (about 3 seconds) until the keypad beeps once before pressing any other key.
