Vivint — User Guide- 7 -System OverviewOverviewThe Vivint security system provides three main forms of protection for you and your home, depending on the options set by the Vivint Technician who installed and configured your system. l Home Security Protection (Burglary) l Home Environment Protection (Smoke, Heat, and Freeze) l Emergency Situation ProtectionThe system consists of the Control Panel with a state-of-the-art color touchscreen that enables touch navigation and input, wireless security sensors that provide perimeter and interior home security (burglary) protection, and wireless smoke and carbon monoxide detectors that provide home environment (fire) protection. In addition, optional cameras, Z-Wave devices, and other peripheral devices, as well as optional remote control key fobs and panic buttons may have been provided or installed.The system monitors all protected "security sensor zones" (perimeter and interior) and overall system status.The Control Panel displays monitoring and alert information and controls the alarm siren.Your system may also have been configured to send alarm and status reports to the Vivint Central Station, and has the capability for Two-way voice communication that allows you to converse with a Central Station mon-itoring operator if necessary.For service, repair, and upgrades, contact Vivint —There are no user-servicable parts inside the Control Panel. For service, repair, or product upgrades, contact Vivint Customer Care. Key FeaturesFollowing is a list of standard features and options that can be included in your Vivint Home Security and Auto-mation system. Ask your installer which options are available to you and check the ones that apply to your sys-tem. n Arming Modes: There are two arming modes for the security system — Arm Stay and Arm Away. Arm Stay mode arms the system perimeter only, and is typically used at night when the premises are occu-pied (i.e., one or more persons are staying). Arm Away mode arms the system perimeter AND interior, and is used when the premises are unoccupied (i.e., all persons are away). n Users: The system supports up to 48 unique Users (each with a custom four-digit PIN code) to enable role-based system operation and management.
Vivint — User Guide- 8 - n Admin User: The Control Panel supports one Admin User who can add, configure, and manage the other Users. n Duress User: One of the pre-defined User IDs functions as the Duress User. Accessing and controlling the system with this User ID gives the appearance of normal operation but automatically and secretly sends a "duress" report to the Central Station to initiate a silent alarm call for help. n Voice Announcements: The system has a built-in vocabulary of descriptive words that can be assigned, if desired, to the security sensors so that each sensor triggers a unique voice announcement when that security zone is encroached, such as "front door" or "bedroom window." n Z-Wave Technology: The system supports home automation features with the built‐in Z-Wave tech-nology for remote controlling Z‐Wave enabled home appliances and devices (optional). n 24‐Hour Emergency Functions:: Panic, Fire, and Emergency. These emergency functions can be activ-ated with touchscreen buttons on the Control Panel, with wireless sensors, or from portable pendant devices (such as the panic button remote). n Two‐way Voice: After an alarm, the system can automatically connect with a Central Station operator so they can converse with you at your premises. n System History: The system provides a detailed system event log. Each alarm and system alert is logged into the system memory. These events can be displayed and reviewed at the Control Panel or remotely by the Central Station. n Clock and Calendar The Home Screen displays a real-time clock and calendar. The clock is also used to time stamp items in the system event log. n Remote Control: You can remote control the system via a regular telephone line. n Web and Mobile Apps: You can also remote control the system from your desktop computer, laptop, tab-let, or smartphone (requires an Internet connection).[[Editing Note: Add more features to this list...?]] Basic OperationFollowing are general operational concepts that your system supports. Understanding these concepts will help you to use your security system to its fullest extent.Home Security Protection with Security Sensors (Types / Zones)The system's wireless security sensors have been assigned to selected "types" on your premises (often called "zones"). The sensor type determines how and when the system will react to a signal from the sensor. Some sensors are armed 24 hours a day; other sensors are only activated when the system is armed.Home Environment Protection with Smoke, Heat, and Freeze DetectorsIf wireless smoke, heat and freeze detectors have been installed in your system, they are armed 24 hours a day, These sensors will sound an alarm when smoke is detected and can report the fire alarm to the Central Station. For more information (including emergency planning and evacuation information), see "Home Environment Pro-tection" on page 36.
Vivint — User Guide- 9 -Burglary ProtectionBurglary protection is provided by perimeter and interior security sensors. When the system is armed in the Away Mode, both perimeter and interior sensors are armed and can trigger an alarm. When the system is armed in the Stay Mode, only the perimeter sensors are armed and can trigger an alarm.Both arming modes offer an Exit Delay that allows time to exit the premises without triggering the alarm. Upon re‐entry, an Entry Delay is enabled that allows you time to disarm the system. For more information, see "Home Security Protection" on page 20.You can set sensors to sound a chime and/or a voice announcement when they are triggered. This allows you to monitor your doors and windows even when the system is disarmed.UsersA Vivint Technician has already configured an Admin User ID PIN Code for your system. This User ID can be used to control the system as well as create and change the other Users. The Admin User can also access sev-eral system settings at the Control Panel.AlarmsWhen an alarm occurs, the Control Panel siren (and an external siren if installed) sounds for a preset time. Dur-ing an alarm, and after disarming, the alarm history button displays all of the alarms that have occurred and iden-tifies the sensors that were involved. The alarm history is cleared the next time the system is armed, or it can be cleared manually.MessagesThe system supports messages from the Central Station. Messages can be about system upgrades, additional services, special regional weather alerts, and more.Trouble AlertsThe system monitors itself for abnormal operating conditions and will alert you if any trouble is detected. Trouble conditions can also be reported to the Central Station. Wireless Security SensorsYour Vivint system comes with wireless security sensors. Some security sensors are visible while others may be hidden by doorjambs or wherever the sensor is installed.

Vivint — User Guide- 20 -Home Security ProtectionUnderstanding and Viewing Security SensorsWhen your system was installed and configured by your Vivint Technician, wireless security sensors were placed throughout your home to monitor specific doors and windows. The technician, after consulting with you, selected these doors and windows as likely places where an intrusion might occur and could be detected. Each sensor was configured to have the system react in a specific way.Some sensor types such as smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, panic buttons, etc. are always active and can trigger an alarm at any time. Other sensors on protected doors and windows are part of the home secur-ity (burglary) protection part of the system, and can be turned on or off.Turning on the home security protection part of the system is called "Arming the System."Home security protection can be armed in two modes: n Arm Stay n Arm AwaySample Floor Pla n wi th Security Se n so rsThe sample floor plan below shows a typical residential installation and the various types of wireless sensors and their functions.

Vivint — User Guide- 22 -Sensor / Detector TypeDW Door / window sensorPAD Wireless keypadPIR Motion detector (Passive Infra-Red)ES External siren (optional)Security Sensor StatusThe security system constantly monitors all of the sensors installed in the protected doors and windows in your home. The Control Panel knows if each door or window with sensors is open or closed. The open or closed con-dition of the protected doors and windows is called the sensor status.For maximum security, all of the doors and windows on your premises should be closed when you leave the building. In some cases, such as when using the security system when you stay at home, you may want to leave some doors or windows open. The system supports sensor bypassing to recognize and accommodate any open doors or windows. For more information, see "Bypassing Security Sensors" on the next page.NOTE: Before you can arm the system, you must close or bypass all of the doors and windows that have sensors installed.Checking that all secu ri ty se n so rs are clo se dIn most cases, you will be arming the security system with all of the protected doors and windows closed.The Control Panel provides several easy methods to verify that all of the protected doors and windows are closed before arming the system: l The Home button lights green when all of the perimeter sensors are closed. The Home button is not lit if any perimeter sensor is open. (Open interior sensors do not change this indication.) l The Security button on the Home screen lights green when all of the perimeter sensors are closed. The Security button is lit orange if any perimeter sensor is open. (Open interior sensors do not change this indication.) l The Arm button on the Security screen lights green when all of the perimeter sensors are closed. If any interior sensors are open (or when any motion detector is triggered), a house icon is displayed on the status bar. The Arm button is lit orange if any perimeter sensor is open.Viewing secu ri ty se n so r sta tusThe Control Panel will also show you which protected doors and windows are open. The Technician has con-figured descriptive names for each protected door and window. The display shows the names of which doors and windows are open.
Vivint — User Guide- 23 - l The status area at the bottom of the display shows sensor status, and will list any sensors that are cur-rently open. l The status area also shows the system mode and system status icons. l The Arm button on the security and menu screens lights green when all perimeter sensors are closed. This button lights orange if any perimeter sensor is open. l The Home button lights green when all perimeter sensors are closed. This button is not lit if any peri-meter sensor is open.Dealing with a Sensor False AlarmThe Control Panel reports alarm conditions on all sensors when armed. It does this both visually (on the status bar and through a system alert icon) and audibly (through voice and chime announcements). There are times when a door or window might not be properly latched which can trigger an alarm. Bypassing Security SensorsBefore the system can be armed, all protected doors and windows must be closed or bypassed. You can bypass open sensors on protected doors or windows before arming the system. When a sensor is bypassed, the system ignores that the door or window is open.There are two types of sensor bypasses available: n Force n ManualIn some cases, such as when using the security system for protection when staying at home (i.e., Arm Stay mode), it may be desirable to leave some sensor‐protected doors or windows open.Temporarily bypassing a sensor for this use is called Force Bypassing.NOTE: Force bypasses are automatically removed when the system is disarmed.Sensor bypassing is also sometimes used when a sensor is requiring service. A sensor’s magnet might be miss-ing, or an external switch contact connected to a sensor might be faulty, causing the sensor to be detected as open by the Control Panel. In these conditions, you may need to schedule a service call with your qualified Vivint Technician to repair or replace the troubled sensor. If the security system needs to be armed before the sensor can be serviced, the sensor can be manually bypassed so the rest of the system can be armed. Depending on system configuration, manual bypasses can remain in place until they are manually removed.IMPORTANT: Bypassed sensors offer no protection and cannot cause an alarm. Use bypass if you want to arm your system with one or more sensors open and intentionally unprotected.
Vivint — User Guide- 24 -Force Bypassing SensorsIf any sensors are open when the Arm button is pressed, the Control Panel displays the bypass sensor screen. When the system is disarmed, the force-bypassed sensors are returned to normal. 1. With one or more perimeter sensors open, press Arm Stay or Arm Away from the Security screen. 2. Press Bypass All to force bypass the open sensors (including any open interior sensors). 3. Enter a valid User PIN code to activate the sensor bypass and continue to the Arming screen (unless your Vivint Technician has enabled the Quick Bypass option).Manually Bypassing SensorsIn case one or more perimeter or interior sensors need to be manually bypassed, or have their manual bypass removed, use the following steps: 1. Press Security > Settings. 2. Enter a User PIN code. 3. Press Bypass Sensors. 4. To bypass a sensor, press the individual name of the sensor. The bypass symbol displays for the manu-ally bypassed sensors. To show only the bypassed sensors, press Show Bypassed Only. 5. Press Back. Arming the System in Stay ModeStay Mode is for arming the system when people are staying on the premises. Stay Mode arms the sensor‐pro-tected perimeter doors and windows while not arming the interior motion sensors or other interior doors. This allows the premises to be occupied while the system is partially armed.Stay Mode is used mostly for arming the system during the evening hours after everyone is inside and no one is expected to enter or leave. When the system is armed in Stay Mode, you can move about the premises without triggering the burglary alarm. All the interior burglary protection is off. But, if a sensor-protected perimeter door or window is opened, an alarm occurs.The following procedure describes how to arm the system in Stay Mode. For more information about Arming options, see the sections below the step list.Arming to Stay ModeStay Mode normally has an Entry Delay so anyone with a User PIN code can re‐enter without causing an alarm.
Vivint — User Guide- 25 -To arm the security system in Stay Mode 1. Close all protected perimeter doors and windows before arming. 2. Verify that the Home button on the Control Panel is lit green indicating that the system is ready to arm. The Security button and the Arm button on the display will also be green when all of the perimeter sensors are closed.NOTE: If you want to arm the system quietly without sounding any announcements, press the Mute but-ton before performing the next steps, OR from the Security screen, press Silent Exit, OR during the Exit Delay period, press Silent Exit. 3. At the Home screen, press the Security button. If there are any open perimeter door or window sensors, the Bypass pop-up window appears. Close all the sensors displayed or press Bypass All to force bypass the displayed sensors. (NOTE: Bypassed sensors will not trigger an alarm. To bypass sensors, enter a valid User PIN code, unless your Technician has configured the system for Quick Bypass.) 4. At the Security screen, you can enable the Entry Delay option. If no one is expected to re‐enter, the sys-tem can be armed without an Entry Delay, in which case all perimeter doors will trigger the alarm instantly. (To arm the system with all exit/entry perimeter doors as instant, disable the Entry Delay option.) 5. Press Arm Stay to arm the system. (NOTE: To arm the system, you may need to enter a User PIN code if your Technician has turned off the system’s Quick Arming feature.)
Vivint — User Guide- 26 - 6. The system will arm and shows the Exit Delay counting down. 7. When the Exit Delay expires, the system is fully armed in Stay Mode.Entry Delay in Stay ModeCertain sensors, such as a door, can be configured by your Technician to have a delay before triggering an alarm. This provides a way for an authorized person returning to enter using a predetermined door and disarm the system before an alarm is triggered. When arming the system in Stay Mode, an Entry Delay option is shown on the Control Panel’s Arming Screen.Normally this option is enabled, so the programmed delay doors allow time for disarming the system after the door is opened. Disabling this option removes the delayed alarm trigger from all sensor‐protected doors pro-grammed for delay, causing those entrances to instantly trigger the alarm if they are opened in Stay Mode.Quick Exit in Stay ModeA system setting called Quick Exit may be displayed on the Security Screen while the system is armed in the Stay Mode.Pressing the Quick Exit button starts a timer to allow someone to exit or enter through a sensor‐protected door programmed for delay without having to disarm the entire system. When the delay timer runs out, the system returns to the normal Stay Mode.The Quick Exit option can be turned on or off by your Vivint Technician.
Vivint — User Guide- 27 -Silent Control in Stay ModeThe following options for silencing the beeps and announcements are available when arming or disarming the system in Stay Mode. l On the Security screen, a Silent Exit button is displayed. l On the Arming screen, a Silent Exit button is displayed. l On the Exit Delay screen, a Silent Exit button is displayed.Selecting any of these options silences the Control Panel beeps and announcements, and when arming, select-ing this option doubles the length of the Exit Delay. Arming the System in Away ModeAway Mode is for arming the system when everyone is leaving the premises. Away Mode arms all sensor‐pro-tected perimeter doors and windows, interior motion sensors, interior glass break sensors, and any other sensor‐protected interior doors. The premises must be unoccupied while the system is armed in Away Mode. Away Mode is typically used for arming the system during the daytime hours in a residential location, and non‐business hours in a commercial location.When the system is armed in Away Mode, you cannot move about the protected premises areas without trig-gering the burglary alarm (IF the system is installed with interior motion detectors). An alarm also occurs if any sensor‐protected door or window is opened or glass breakage is detected (IF glass break detectors are installed in your system).The following procedure describes how to arm the system in Away Mode. For more information about Arming options, see the sections below the step list.Arming to Away ModeStay Mode normally has an Entry Delay so anyone with a User PIN code can re‐enter without causing an alarm. 1. Close all protected doors and windows before arming. 2. Verify that the Home button on the Control Panel is lit green, indicating that the system is ready to arm. The Security button and the Arm button on the display will also be green when all of the perimeter sensors are closed. If the interior sensor open icon is displayed on the status bar, be sure to close or manually bypass the interior sensors or an alarm will occur.NOTE: If you want to arm the system quietly without sounding any announcements, press the Mute but-ton before performing the next steps, OR from the Security screen, press Silent Exit, OR during the Exit Delay period, press Silent Exit. 3. At the Home screen, press the Security button. If there are any open perimeter door or window sensors, the Bypass pop-up window appears. Close all the sensors displayed or press Bypass All to force bypass the displayed sensors. (NOTE: Bypassed sensors do not trigger an alarm. To bypass sensors, enter a valid User PIN code, unless your Technician has configured the system for Quick Bypass.)
Vivint — User Guide- 28 - 4. At the Security screen, you can enable the Entry Delay option. The system can be armed without an Entry Delay. All perimeter doors trigger the alarm instantly. The system has to be disarmed with a wire-less key fob. (To arm the system with all exit/entry perimeter doors as instant, disable the Entry Delay option.) 5. Press Arm Away to arm the system. (NOTE: To arm the system, you may need to enter a User PIN code if your Technician has turned off the system’s Quick Arming feature.) 6. The system will arm and shows the Exit Delay counting down.
Vivint — User Guide- 29 - 7. When the Exit Delay expires, the system is fully armed in the Away Mode. (NOTE: When the system is armed in the Away Mode, beeps sound during the Exit Delay, with faster beeps during the last 10 seconds.)Exit and Entry Delays in Away ModeCertain sensors, such as a door, can be setup by your Technician to have a delay before triggering an alarm. This provides a way for an authorized person to exit and reenter the premises without triggering an alarm. l Exit Delay: Allows time to leave after arming the system. l Entry Delay: Allows time to enter and disarm the system before an alarm is triggered. When arming the system in Away Mode, an Entry Delay option is shown on the Security screen. By default, this option is enabled, so the configured delay doors allow time for disarming the system after the door is opened. If you disable this option, the delayed alarm trigger is removed from all sensor‐protected doors pro-grammed for delay. Those entrances instantly trigger an alarm if they are opened in Away Mode.NOTE: With the Entry Delay disabled, you must remotely disarm the system with a wireless key fob before entering.Exit Delay RestartThe Exit Delay Restart option extends the Exit Delay one time if you need to re‐enter the premises. With the Exit Delay Restart option, when you re‐enter the premises afteryou have left, but beforethe Exit Delay timer expires, will restart the Exit Delay timer, giving you the full length of time to leave again.NOTE: The Exit Delay Restart option only works once each time the system is armed.Silent Control in Away ModeThree options for silencing the beeps and announcements are available when arming or disarming the system in Away Mode. l On the Control Panel Home Screen, a Silent Exit option is displayed. l On the Arming Screen, a Silent Exit option is displayed. l On the Exit Delay Screen, a Silent Exit option is displayed.Selecting any of these options silences the Control Panel beeps and announcements, and when arming, select-ing Silent Control doubles the length of the Exit Delay.Quick Exit in Away ModeA configurable option called Quick Exit may be displayed on the Security screen while the system is armed in the Away Mode. Pressing the Quick Exit button starts a timer to allow someone to exit or enter through a sensor‐
Vivint — User Guide- 30 -protected door configured for delay without having to disarm the entire system. When the delay timer runs out, the system returns to the normal Away Mode.NOTE: If interior sensors are installed in the system in certain areas, do not violate those sensors when using the Quick Exit feature in Away Mode.Auto Stay ModeThe system may have been configured by the Technician for Auto Stay Mode. If this option is on and the system is armed in Away Mode, if an exit/entry delay sensor is not triggered before the Exit Delay expires (no one left the premises), the system automatically arms in Stay Mode instead of Away Mode.NOTE: Quick options can be turned on or off by your Technician. Disarming the SystemTo stop the Control Panel from triggering burglary alarms, the system needs to be disarmed. Disarming turns off the home security protection (burglary detection) part of the system for sensors that are not 24‐hour sensors. Dis-arming also stops any type of alarm in process.The system should be disarmed from Stay Mode before exiting the premises. The system should be disarmed from Away Mode before or while entering the premises. When disarming from the Control Panel or wireless keypad, enter a valid User PIN code. A wireless key fob can also be used to disarm the system.

Vivint — User Guide- 36 -Home Environment ProtectionSmoke, Heat, and Freeze AlarmsYour system should be installed with Smoke, Heat, and Freeze Alarms as well as Carbon Monoxide Detectors as a part of an overall home environment protection service.Fire protection is active 24 hours‐a‐day, 365 days a year.In the event of a fire or poisonous CO gas emergency, the installed smoke or carbon monoxide detector auto-matically activates your security system. Not only will the fire alarm itself emit a loud sound, the Control Panel emits an intermittent and loud horn on an external sounder (if an external sounder has been installed). The fire alarm sound continues until the timer expires on the Fire Alarm or until you enter a User PIN code at the Control Panel.IMPORTANT: Commercial installations are for burglary protection only —If installed in a commercial location, this Control Panel is intended for burglary protection only, not for fire protection. (Commercial burglary protection is limited to mercantile premises and not banks.)If the Alarm Sounds l Get out and stay out. Never go back inside for people or pets. l If you have to escape through smoke, get low and go under the smoke. l Call the fire department from outside your home.Initiating a Fire Alarm ManuallyEvacuating all occupants safely from the premises is always the highest priority in the event of a fire. If you become aware of a fire before your detectors sense a problem, do the following: 1. Yell "FIRE!" to alert everyone else. 2. If the control panel is easily accessible and the alarm has not activated, go the Control Panel and press the white lighted button, then from the touchscreen press and hold the Fire button for at least 2 seconds. This action triggers the Control Panel fire alarm. You can trigger the fire alarm from the wireless keypad by holding down the Fire button. Both of these actions trigger the fire alarm. 3. Evacuate all occupants from the premises and call your local Fire Department from a safe location out-side your home.Automatic Fire AlarmIf the fire alarm sirens are sounding, do the following:
Vivint — User Guide- 37 - 1. If flames and smoke are present, yell FIRE! to alert everyone else. 2. Evacuate all occupants from the premises and call your local Fire Department from a safe location.OR 1. If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the possible causes of the alarm. 2. Go to the Control Panel and enter your User Code to stop the fire alarm. 3. Review the Alarm Memory to determine which sensor caused the alarm. 4. Go to the sensor and look for a possible reason the sensor tripped. 5. Correct the condition that caused the detector to sense smoke.Silencing a False Fire AlarmIf the fire alarm is sounding due to a detector sensing burnt food or some other non‐emergency condition, do the following: 1. Silence the fire alarm sounder by entering your User PIN code. 2. Review the alarm memory to determine which sensor caused the alarm. If the alarm restarts, there may still be smoke inside the detector’s sensor. Re‐enter your User PIN code to stop the alarm from con-tinuing to sound. 3. Fan the detector for 30 seconds to clear the detector’s sensor chamber. 4. After the problem has been corrected, from the Alarm Memory screen, check Clear Alarm History, then press OK. (NOTE: You cannot clear Fire and CO sensors that are still violated from the Alarm Memory Screen. Only when the Fire Alarms and CO Detectors return to normal operation.) 5. Carefully inspect your premises for fire or heat if your fire alarm remains in alarm state. Recommended Fire Alarm LocationsIn the United States, this equipment must be installed in accordance with the National Fire Alarm Code, ANSI/NFPA 72, (National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269).Printed information describing proper installation, operation, testing, maintenance, evacuation planning, and repair service is to be provided with smoke detectors and alarms.National Fire Protection Association Standard 72The National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Standard ANSI/NFPA 72 recommends the following place-ment for smoke detectors:Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household. The equipment should be installed as follows: l Install a smoke detector outside each separate sleeping area, in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics.
Vivint — User Guide- 38 -Also, install smoke detectors in the living room, dining room, bedrooms, kitchen, hallway(s), finished attics, fur-nace room, utility and storage rooms, and attached garages. Home Area DescriptionAMount a smoke alarm between the sleeping area and the rest of the family unit.BIn family units with more than one sleeping area, mount a smoke alarm to protect each sleeping area.CExample of a residence that has required and optional areas for smoke alarms.DFor houses with multiple stories, mount a smoke alarm on each story.●Indicates an optional smoke alarm if a door is not provided between the Living and the Recre-ation rooms. Where NOT to Mount the Alarm l Directly above a sink, cooker, stove or oven l Do not locate alarm within 5 feet (1.5 m) of any cooking appliance
Vivint — User Guide- 39 - l Next to a door or window that would be affected by drafts (extractor fan or air vent) l Outside l In or below a cupboard l Where air flow would be obstructed by curtains or furniture l Where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor l Where it could be knocked, damaged, or inadvertently removedNOTE: Fire‐warning equipment for residential occupancies are capable of protecting about 50% of the occupants in potentially fatal fires. Victims include the elderly, children, and the physically or mentally impaired. Victims include any person that cannot escape even when warned early enough that escape should be possible. For these people, other strategies such as protection in‐place or assisted rescue or escape would be necessary. l Studies show that Smoke/Heat/Freeze Alarms may not awaken all sleeping individuals. It is the respons-ibility of individuals in the household that are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to those who may not be awakened by the audible alarm or those who may be incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted. l A battery‐powered alarm must have the specific battery type installed, be in good condition, and be mounted properly. When replacing a battery, always test the device after installation to confirm proper operation. l The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair the ability to hear the audible alarm. For maximum pro-tection, ensure that an audible alarm is installed on every floor so the alarm can be heard by all occu-pants. l Smoke/Heat Alarms only provide protection to the residence if smoke actually reaches the alarm. The Smoke/Heat Alarm is not a substitute for an insurance policy. Home owners and renters should have adequate insurance to protect their properties. Emergency Features24-Hour Emergency ButtonsThree 24‐hour emergency functions are available on the Control Panel: l Panic l Fire l EmergencyYou can activate emergency functions using the Control Panel as well as wireless sensors, wireless keypads or from portable pendant devices such as the panic button remote.The button displays the emergency screen.

Vivint — User Guide- 41 -Emergency Action PlanIMPORTANT: Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape with all members of your household in the event of fire.The National Fire Protection Association recommends the following steps. 1. Mount your detector or your interior or exterior sounders where they can be heard by all. 2. Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of escape should lead to the door that per-mits normal exit from the building. The other should be an alternate escape, such as a window, should the path to a door be impassable. Station an escape ladder at such windows if there is a long drop to the ground. 3. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairs, and rooftops that can be used to escape. Indicate escape routes for each room. Keep these routes free from obstructions and post copies of the escape routes in every room. 4. Ensure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep, preventing deadly smoke from entering while you escape. 5. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape route. If the door is cool, open it cautiously. Be prepared to shut the door immediately if smoke or heat rushes in. 6. When smoke is present, crawl on the ground. Do not walk upright, since smoke rises and may overcome you. Clearer air is near the floor. 7. Establish a place outdoors, away from your house, where everyone can meet and then take steps to con-tact the authorities and account for those missing. Choose someone to assure that nobody returns to the house — many die going back. 8. Escape quickly, and remain calm so you can provide assistance to others as necessary.

Vivint — User Guide- 73 -Security System LimitationsIMPORTANT N OTICEThis security system cannot offer guaranteed protection against burglary, fire, or other emergencies. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons.For example: l Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device. l Intrusion detectors (sensors) do not work without power. Battery operated devices do not work without bat-teries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not put in properly. Devices powered solely by AC do not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly. l Signals sent by wireless sensors may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm Con-trol Panel, even if the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test. Blockage can occur if a metal object has been moved into the sensor’s signal path. l A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough. l Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a Central Station may be out of ser-vice or temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders. l Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect themselves from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, author-ities may not respond appropriately. l Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices sound on a different level of the residence from the bedrooms, then they are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may not hear the warning if the alarm is muffled from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearing‐impaired people or awaken deep sleepers. l While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not activate or provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, according to data published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with this system may not work are where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building. A second floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Moreover, smoke detect-ors have sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors may not always warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical cir-cuits, children playing with matches, or arson. Depending upon the nature of the fire and/or the locations of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death. l This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as long as ten years, the electronic components could fail at any time.The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate main-tenance. This alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure the sensors are working properly.
