If you enter your home with the alarm enabled, you have a set amount of time to shut off the system before the alarm sounds.

  1. Enter the master user code to shut off the alarm system. If you are entering the home, you have about 40 seconds to shut off the system before the alarm sounds.

  2. Input the master user code, and immediately press the "Cancel" button if an alarm has sounded. The "Cancel" button needs to be pressed within 20 seconds of entering the master code.
