About The Keypads

General Information

Your keypads allow you to control all system functions and feature the following:

•A telephone style (digital) keypad

•Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) that show the nature and location of all occurrences

•Built-in sounder that sounds during alarms and troubles. The sounder also "beeps" during certain system functions and also when depressing any of the keys (to acknowledge the key press).

•Backlighting of the LCD display windows. Backlighting turns on when any key is pressed or when entering the premises through any assigned entry/exit door. This feature is helpful when a keypad is located in a dimly lit area.

•Some keypads have a voice feature that announces the nature and location of all system occurrences. Voice keypads also announce any faulted entry/exit or perimeter zone when Chime mode is on. Ask your installer if this option has been programmed for your system.

IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering the premises, it indicates that an alarm has occurred during your absence and an intruder may still be on the premises. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.

Your keypads are functionally the same, but may have different types of displays, depending on the type installed with your system.

Alpha Display	2-line alpha display keypads feature a 2-line, 32-character
	alphanumeric LCD that displays system messages in friendly
	English. These keypads can also be programmed with custom
	zone descriptors.
Fixed-Word Display	Fixed-Word display keypads are functionally identical to
	Alpha display keypads, but the LCD display uses pre-
	designated words to identify the nature and location of
	occurrences.
Voice Keypads	Voice Keypads (if installed), are functionally the same as other
	keypads, except that these keypads can provide the following:
	• Voice announcements of system status (see Checking for
	Open Zones section)
	• Voice chime, which can alert you to the opening of doors and
	windows while the system is disarmed (see Voice Chime in
	Chime mode section)
	• Message center, which lets you record and playback
	messages (see Using the Voice Message Center in the
	System Overview section).
