The alarm works like most home alarm systems; when you first enter an alarm protected area you will hear a long steady tone. The steady tone will last about 10 seconds which is the time you have to type in your code into the alarm keypad to disable the alarm. The alarm keypads are usually located near the area's entry points. If you take too long to disarm the alarm system, the tone will change to a beeping sound and the system will automatically notify UTPD. If this happens, continue to type in your code to turn off the alarm but then call UTPD to let them know of the false alarm. The phone number for UTPD is 471-4441 and the number is printed on a label attached to the keypad. When you call UTPD they will ask you to give them your "Personal Identification Code" as proof of your identity. If you do not call UTPD, they will send a police officer to the room to investigate.
| If the keypad is closed when you arrive, you will need to open it to access the numeric keypad. |
| After you open the keypad you can enter your numeric alarm code to turn on/off the alarm system. You use the single numeric code assigned to you to both turn on and turn off the system. |
