Your touchpads allow you to control all system functions and feature the following:
• A telephone style (digital) keypad
• Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the nature an d location of all
occurrences
• Built-in sounder which will sound during alarms and trouble s. The sounder also
"beeps" during certain system functions and when depressing any of the keys (to
acknowledge the key press).
• Backlighting of the LCD display windows. Backlighting turn s on when any key is
pressed, and when opening an entry/exit door while the system is armed. This
feature is helpful when a touchpad is located in a dimly lit area.
• Some touchpads have a voice feature that announces the nature and location of all
occurences. Voice touchpads also announce any faulted zones when Chime mode is
on. Ask your installer if this option has been programmed for your system.
IMPORTANT: If the touchpad 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 touchpads are functionally the same, but may have different types of displays,
depending on the type installed with your syste m. To access the keys on the touchpad,
simply open the swing-down door.
