OVERVIEW

The Handset is an additional controller for the alarm system, which also acts as a cordless phone. You can use the Handset to arm and disarm the system, manage and control features, view home alerts, and enable the Panic button. You can also use the Handset as a regular full-featured cordless phone. You can carry the handset with you around the house (or out in the yard) so you can always control the system without standing next to the keypad.
