programmed to communicate with the
Alarm Receiving Center (ARC) to report
system events, such as alarms. You cannot
use your phone when the system is
communicating with the ARC over the
phone line. In the unlikely event that the
ARC is not able to receive the report, your
phone can be unavailable for up to 20
minutes while the system makes additional
communication attempts.
If your telephone service is interrupted, your
security system cannot send reports to the
ARC unless it has an alternate means of
sending them.

Security System Basics
What is a Zone?
A Zone is a detection device or group of devices connected to your security system. Zones are identified by the area they monitor, such as a front door, bedroom window, or hallway.
What is a Faulted Zone?
When a zone (such as a door or window) is closed, it is said to be normal. When the door or window is open, the zone is said to be faulted, or not normal. When you turn your system on, you usually want all of the zones in your system to be normal. However, you can turn your system on with faulted zones by using the Bypass Zones function.
