How do I Exit Practice Mode Early?
Updated
Practice Mode begins as soon as activation is complete and ends automatically after 72 hours. Any alarm triggered during this 72 hour period will not result in a request for dispatch of emergency services or a call from the Monitoring Center. You will receive an automated call from us saying that you are in Practice Mode if you don’t cancel an alarm triggered during Practice Mode within 30 seconds. This phone call provides you with important information so you will be prepared during an actual alarm event. This is intended to give you time to get to know your system and how it works, without risking false alarms. See our What is Practice Mode article to learn more about Practice Mode.
If, after you practiced an alarm and familiarized yourself with your SimpliSafe® system, you would like to get out of Practice Mode, you can exit it before the 72 hours are up.
To Exit Practice Mode Early:
Open the SimpliSafe® app on your phone or tablet
Choose My System from the bottom navigation bar
Select Location Settings
Scroll down to Practice Mode and choose Manage Practice Mode
Then, select End Practice Mode
After exiting Practice Mode early, your SimpliSafe® system will begin to be professionally monitored. Whenever an alarm is triggered, our monitoring center will be notified.
Note: Active Guard Outdoor Protection services are not active when your system is armed and in Practice Mode, even when you are within Outdoor Protection service hours. Motion events will be marked as “In Practice Mode” by our monitoring center and are not engaged during Practice Mode.
