(490-2011)                    Glossary                Faxback Doc. # 16944

The following terms will help you understand how the system operates.

Access Code             - The code you use to arm and disarm the base and
                          to enter accessories into the base.

Arm and Disarm          - Terms for on and off.  When you arm the system,
                          you turn on protection.  Disarming the system
                          turns off protection.

Away Mode               - The armed mode of the system when all sensors
                          are armed.

Base                    - The main control panel for the system.

Bypass                  - Term for temporarily removing a zone from
                          operation.

Door/Window Transmitter - The remote component that monitors a connected
                          sensor and sends a signal to the base if the
                          sensor detects a violation.

Fire Zone               - The area protected by a smoke alarm siren
                          detector.

Home Mode               - The armed mode of the system when only the
                          door/window transmitters are armed.  In this
                          mode, the system bypasses all motion sensors so
                          you can move around the house without tripping
                          the alarm.

Interior Sensors        - The sensors within the home, such as motion
                          detectors and glass breakage detectors.

Perimeter Sensors       - The outside group of sensors in the system.
                          Normally, this includes all door/window sensors.
                          The system includes two perimeter sensors.

Remote Control          - The device that lets you arm and disarm the
                          system away from the base.

Sensor                  - The component connected to the door/window
                          transmitter.  When the sensor detects a
                          violation, its transmitter signals the base.

Violation               - An alarm condition, such as that caused by an
                          opened door or window, detected by the sensor.

Zone                    - The area protected by a door/window transmitter,
                          a motion detector, or other sensing/transmitting
                          device.
