00:00:00.089 --> 00:00:02.672
(energetic upbeat music)

2
00:00:04.830 --> 00:00:06.660
<v Narrator>Test Mode is a way for you to test</v>

3
00:00:06.660 --> 00:00:09.810
that your SimpliSafe Security System is working properly

4
00:00:09.810 --> 00:00:12.810
and that all of your sensors and components are connected.

5
00:00:12.810 --> 00:00:15.420
In this video, we'll walk you through the process

6
00:00:15.420 --> 00:00:18.600
of placing your SimpliSafe System into Test Mode

7
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:20.250
by using your Keypad.

8
00:00:20.250 --> 00:00:23.400
You can place your system into Test Mode at any time

9
00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:25.680
by following these steps.

10
00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:27.303
Press menu on your Keypad.

11
00:00:28.500 --> 00:00:30.003
Enter your Master PIN.

12
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:33.510
Scroll and select Test Mode

13
00:00:33.510 --> 00:00:36.090
by pressing the edges of your screen.

14
00:00:36.090 --> 00:00:37.740
You will know you are in Test Mode

15
00:00:37.740 --> 00:00:39.900
when you see the circle on your Keypad

16
00:00:39.900 --> 00:00:43.980
with the text, "Test each device by pressing its button,"

17
00:00:43.980 --> 00:00:45.960
and your Base Station says.

18
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:47.400
<v Base Station>Entering Test Mode.</v>

19
00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:49.170
You may now begin testing each device

20
00:00:49.170 --> 00:00:51.087
by pressing its button.

21
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:56.640
<v Narrator>If you have Monitoring,</v>

22
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:58.080
putting your system into Test Mode

23
00:00:58.080 --> 00:01:00.030
will automatically send a test signal

24
00:01:00.030 --> 00:01:01.770
to the monitoring service.

25
00:01:01.770 --> 00:01:03.060
You will get a phone call,

26
00:01:03.060 --> 00:01:06.300
which will confirm that the connection is working properly.

27
00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:08.700
If you do not answer this call, don't worry.

28
00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:12.802
You'll get a voicemail, but it will not result in dispatch.

29
00:01:12.802 --> 00:01:14.220
You can also confirm

30
00:01:14.220 --> 00:01:16.950
that the test signal was received by monitoring

31
00:01:16.950 --> 00:01:20.670
by checking your timeline via the SimpliSafe App.

32
00:01:20.670 --> 00:01:23.100
You should see a new entry with a timestamp

33
00:01:23.100 --> 00:01:24.873
of when you initiated the test.

34
00:01:25.890 --> 00:01:27.780
While your system is in Test Mode,

35
00:01:27.780 --> 00:01:30.000
you can test each sensor individually

36
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.340
to make sure they're working properly.

37
00:01:32.340 --> 00:01:35.059
Here's how to test each sensor type.

38
00:01:35.059 --> 00:01:37.200
To test your Motion Sensors,

39
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:40.500
press the Test button on the top of the Motion Sensor.

40
00:01:40.500 --> 00:01:42.240
You'll hear the Base Station say.

41
00:01:42.240 --> 00:01:43.680
<v Base Station>Motion Sensor.</v>

42
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.260
<v Narrator>The Motion Sensor works by infrared light,</v>

43
00:01:46.260 --> 00:01:50.010
which means it needs to scan the room before it can trigger.

44
00:01:50.010 --> 00:01:51.720
To test the Motion Sensor,

45
00:01:51.720 --> 00:01:54.033
you should leave the room for 15 seconds.

46
00:01:55.320 --> 00:01:57.720
Reenter the room, and the Base Station will say.

47
00:01:57.720 --> 00:01:58.860
<v Base Station>Motion Sensor.</v>

48
00:01:58.860 --> 00:02:01.810
<v Narrator>Again to confirm that you have been detected.</v>

49
00:02:06.420 --> 00:02:09.630
Now let's move on to testing your Glassbreak Sensors.

50
00:02:09.630 --> 00:02:13.050
Press the Test button on the top of the Glassbreak Sensor.

51
00:02:13.050 --> 00:02:15.330
This will lower the sensor's threshold

52
00:02:15.330 --> 00:02:16.590
so that it can be triggered

53
00:02:16.590 --> 00:02:18.333
just by the sound of a hand clap.

54
00:02:19.170 --> 00:02:22.110
Walk to the windows you want the sensor to watch over

55
00:02:22.110 --> 00:02:24.240
and clap your hands once.

56
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:25.860
The Base Station should say.

57
00:02:25.860 --> 00:02:27.390
<v Base Station>Glassbreak Sensor.</v>

58
00:02:27.390 --> 00:02:29.130
<v Narrator>We recommend trying the clap test</v>

59
00:02:29.130 --> 00:02:30.510
at different spots in the room

60
00:02:30.510 --> 00:02:33.277
to make sure that your sensor is in the best spot.

61
00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:40.953
Let's move on to test your Entry Sensors.

62
00:02:41.790 --> 00:02:45.120
Open and close protected doors and windows.

63
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.100
Listen for the Base Station to say.

64
00:02:47.100 --> 00:02:48.300
<v Base Station>Entry Sensor.</v>

65
00:02:48.300 --> 00:02:50.300
<v Narrator>To confirm.</v>

66
00:02:53.730 --> 00:02:56.340
Now to test your Panic Buttons,

67
00:02:56.340 --> 00:02:59.160
hold the Panic Button down for two seconds.

68
00:02:59.160 --> 00:03:00.840
Listen for the Base Station to say.

69
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:01.673
<v Base Station>Panic Button.</v>

70
00:03:01.673 --> 00:03:03.673
<v Narrator>To confirm.</v>

71
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:08.550
To test your Smoke Detectors,

72
00:03:08.550 --> 00:03:11.790
press the clear button on the front of the Smoke Detector.

73
00:03:11.790 --> 00:03:14.730
The unit will chirp loudly for several seconds.

74
00:03:14.730 --> 00:03:16.890
The Base Station will also announce.

75
00:03:16.890 --> 00:03:18.480
<v Base Station>Smoke Detector.</v>

76
00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:19.560
<v Narrator>This test confirms</v>

77
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:22.685
that the Smoke Detector is connected to your system.

78
00:03:26.370 --> 00:03:30.510
To test your CO Detectors, press the Test/Mute button

79
00:03:30.510 --> 00:03:33.360
on the front of the Carbon Monoxide Detector.

80
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.480
The unit will chirp loudly for several seconds.

81
00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:38.550
The Base Station will also announce.

82
00:03:38.550 --> 00:03:40.592
<v Base Station>Carbon Monoxide Detector.</v>

83
00:03:44.430 --> 00:03:47.430
<v Narrator>Lastly, let's test your Extra Siren,</v>

84
00:03:47.430 --> 00:03:51.000
Water, and Temperature/Freeze sensors.

85
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:53.850
Press the Test button on the top of each sensor.

86
00:03:53.850 --> 00:03:55.320
Listen for the Base Station

87
00:03:55.320 --> 00:03:57.510
to say the sensor name to confirm.

88
00:03:57.510 --> 00:03:59.360
<v Base Station>Freeze Sensor.</v>

89
00:04:02.460 --> 00:04:04.260
<v Narrator>After you have tested your devices,</v>

90
00:04:04.260 --> 00:04:07.023
press the left arrow to exit Test Mode.
