Arming is blocked while installer mode is active. Fire, CO, 24-hour zones and panics remain live. The session ends after 15 minutes without activity.

When finished, select Leave installer mode. Confirm the panel returns to ordinary operation before testing arming.

In installer mode, open Installer and master codes. Choose the relevant code and enter its replacement twice. This route does not require the old value.

The installer can reset the system master code but does not manage household users. After handover, the master uses Settings > Users.

When Installer code recovery is enabled, the touchscreen provides a recovery route during the first two minutes after power-up, with every partition disarmed. Follow the offered recovery confirmation, then set a new installer code.

Arrange an authorized restart before using this route. Do not interrupt an active alarm to try recovery. If the option was disabled or the system is armed, this route is unavailable.

Factory reset erases configuration and returns the system to setup and factory codes. Its confirmation can also request event-log erasure. It is not the normal way to fix pairing, change Wi-Fi or recover a master code.

General configuration backup/restore is not a completed workflow in this edition. Do not reset on the assumption that the current installation can be restored from a backup.
