Stay mode arms the perimeter sensors, but not the motion detector, so you can move freely within the home. The exterior of your home, for example windows, doors, and glass break sensors, will still be protected. The away mode should be used when the home is completely unoccupied. All motion detectors in the home will be triggered in the event there is any movement in the protected areas.

In order to reduce false alarms, there is a function called Auto-Stay that is active by default. If you arm the system in Away mode from the panel, the system must recognize a door being opened and closed to confirm that you have left the home in order to activate the Away mode and your motion detectors. If you arm from a Keyfob or Mobile device, this is not required to activate stay mode. You can adjust this setting by calling customer service.

Your medical pendant can be activated whether your system is armed or disarmed. You must hold the button on the medical pendant down for 3 seconds until the red light comes on.

The recommended distance is no more than 250 feet or 80 yards from your main panel.

If you have a false alarm, you have 30 seconds to disarm your system and cancel the alarm. If you disarm the system after that time, you will either receive a call from the monitoring station or a two-way voice call through the control panel. You will be required to verify your verbal password to stop the police from being dispatched. You may also call Rapid Response at 1-866-729-1122 and inform them of the false alarm if you miss the call.

If the system is using your phone line then yes it will have an effect. If the system is using the cellular backup unit then it will have no effect on the system. With the cell unit, the system communicates with the monitoring station directly and is not affected by your phone lines.

The button with the cross is the Emergency Button. This will give you instant access to the Police, Fire, or Medical services with the press of a button. The button on the right with the house on it is the Home Button. This simply takes you back to the main screen of the control panel.

The Home Button is green when the system is disarmed and red when the system is armed.

The panel has a power saving feature which causes the panel backlight to shut off after a period of inactivity. This operation is completely normal and the light will come on if you touch the screen or the home button on the panel. You can adjust the backlight timer from the user toolbox in the menu.

This option is a feature that is used if you have automation features such as light modules, locks, and thermostats.

Your master code is the code used to disarm your alarm system. You can have up to 32 user codes.

The duress code is a special code that you would use to disarm your system if someone is trying to force you to disable the alarm. This code makes the panel look like it was disarmed, but sends a silent panic alarm to the monitoring station. The police will be dispatched.

Your verbal password is used to access your account information and verify your identity when you need to cancel false alarms. The monitoring station will call you and ask for your verbal password to stop the dispatch process.

The standard exit delay time is one minute. This can be adjusted from as low as 45 seconds to up to 2 minutes.

This is the time that you have to disarm your alarm system when you open the door after returning home. Your system will beep and display a countdown timer. This is 30 seconds by default, but can be increased if needed.

Yes. On the secondary LCD keypad you can press Security, then Menu, then Toolbox and enter your code. Select Brightness and Volume and you will see a checkbox in the bottom of the screen that allows you to turn the lights around the emergency and home buttons off.

Were there any upgrades at the time of installation? For example, warranty, extra equipment? Could it be your state taxes?

It is possible with a 3 year term, but unlikely. If you opt for the 5 year contract, you have price protection for the life of the contract.

We will remove the system from your current address and reinstall at your new location one time at no cost.

Safe Home Safe is the installing company. We will install the system and service the equipment should there be a malfunction, or in the case you opt for additional equipment. Rapid Response is the monitoring company. They monitor the home 24/7, and would dispatch the authorities in the event of a home invasion or emergency.

Verbal password is what you would use in order to verify you are associated with the account and/or homeowner. You would be asked to verify the password if you are calling for account information, or Rapid Response is calling in the event of an emergency to prove your identity. Your master code is the code you will use to disarm the panel. Your duress code is a secret code you will use in the event you are being forced to disarm your panel. This will disarm the panel, but send a silent, panic signal to the police, who would immediately be dispatched.

We will send you or your insurance agency a certificate of installation. We can mail, fax, or email the certificate.

All Safe Home Safe systems come with a standard equipment warranty, however, you can expand your support with ConnectedCare. See below for information on what’s included with the standard warranty.

Standard Equipment Warranty

During the term of your Safe Home Safe agreement, Safe Home Safe will repair, replace, or service any defective piece of equipment provided with your Safe Home Safe system as follows:

As part of the standard equipment warranty provided with every Safe Home Safe security system, any product that is deemed defective within the first 90 days of service (from the date the base system was installed) will be repaired or replaced at no charge. After the initial 90 day period is up, if you are not a ConnectedCare Member, you will be responsible for the full cost of any equipment replacement or repair as well as the service charge of each service call (at our then-current service fee), plus any applicable taxes. All charges for repair service are due and payable upon completion of the service call.

This warranty does not cover repairs that are needed because of an accident, acts of God, your failure to properly use the system, if someone other than us attempts to repair or change the system, or any other reason except a defect in the equipment or our installation. We are not liable for consequential or incidental damages.

ConnectedCare Premier Support

After the initial 90 days of coverage provided with the Standard Equipment Warranty, ConnectedCare Members with the Essentials plan receive security component parts coverage (control panel, door/window sensors, motion sensors, COs and Smoke Sensors, Flood Sensors) as well as priority phone and chat support and same-day emergency scheduling (for thermostat replacement/repair). In addition to the benefits listed above, Complete and Complete+ Plan Members will also receive coverage for Automation and Video products, as well as battery replacement. In some circumstances, batteries will be mailed to you for you to install into the device.

If you choose to select the Essentials ConnectedCare plan instead of the Complete or Complete+ plans, you will still be responsible for the service charge of each service call (at our then-current service fee), plus any applicable state taxes. The cost of battery replacement is covered only by the Complete+ ConnectedCare plan.
