Introduction
1.10Entering Alpha Characters
Some options during programming require you to enter alpha characters. To enter an alpha character, press or touch the key that has that letter written below it. The keypad displays the number digit of the key. Next, press the Select key/area that corresponds to the location of the letter under the key. Pressing a different Select key/area changes the letter. When another digit key is pressed, the last letter displayed is retained and the process starts over.

1.11Entering Non-Alpha Characters
To enter a space in an alpha entry, press the 9 digit key followed by the third Select key/area. The three characters on the 9 digit key are Y, Z, and space. You can also enter the following characters: – (dash),
. (period), * (asterisk), and # (pound sign) using the 0 (zero) key and the four Select keys/areas from left to right. For example, to enter a – (dash), press the 0 (zero) key and then the left Select key/area. A dash now appears in the keypad display. Figures 7 and 8 show the character location for
Security Command, Thinline, and Aqualite keypads.

1.12Keypad Displays Current Programming
Each programming prompt displayed at the keypad shows the currently selected option in the panel memory. These options are either shown as a number, a blank, or a NO or YES. To change a number or blank to a new number, press any top row Select key or touch any Select Area. The current option is replaced with a dash. Press the number(s) on the keypad you want to enter as the new number for that prompt. It is not necessary to enter numbers with leading zeros. The panel automatically right justifies the number when you press the COMMAND key.
To change a programming prompt that requires a NO or YES response, press the Select key or touch the Select Area for the response not selected. See Figure 12.
For example, if the current prompt is selected as YES and you want to change it to NO, on Security Command, Thinline, or Aqualite keypads press the third top row Select key. The display changes to NO. Press the COMMAND key to display the next prompt.
