Customize Your Alarm Transmission Delay
Table of Contents
Avoid false alarms with a feature designed to give you extra time when you need it.
The Transmission Delay setting allows you to briefly pause the alarm signal being sent to our monitoring center after a sensor is triggered. This is especially helpful if you occasionally trip your alarm by mistake—you’ll have a few extra moments to disarm your system before a call is made.
Important: Life safety sensors like smoke and flood detectors are not affected by this setting—they’ll always send an immediate alert for your safety
How Transmission Delay Works
- If the system is triggered and you disarm it within the delay window, the panel will show “Alarm Aborted,” and the monitoring center will not be contacted.
- If the system is not disarmed in time, the alert is sent to the monitoring center automatically.
How to Adjust Your Delay Time
- Tap "Settings" (top right of your panel)
- Enter your 4-digit Master Code
- Select "System"
- Tap "Exit Delay"
- Adjust your delay time using the + / – buttons
Tip: Setting the right delay time can help avoid false alarms while still keeping your home protected. Adjust as needed—your system works with your lifestyle.
