Operational Features
Other features of the System Control Panel include:
•Time and date—has an internal clock that keeps time for the entire system.
•Audible alarm—if enabled, alerts you to a low battery condition in the system and notifies you when a fault condition arises.
•Low power consumption—automatically turns off the backlight and displays a screensaver after a period of inactivity to minimize battery drain.
•Non-volatile memory—preserves all its settings if network power is interrupted or network communication is disrupted.
