For the Function key selected, the functions are predefined as follows:
If A selected = Zone 95 (emergency key, same as [1] [] pair) If B selected = Zone 99 (emergency key, same as [] [#] pair) If C selected = Zone 96 (emergency key, same as [3] [#] pair) If D selected = Single-button paging
Single-button paging (sends a 999-9999 message to pager) Display time
Arm AWAY (reports as User 00 if closing reports are enabled) Arm STAY (reports as User 00 if closing reports are enabled) Arm NIGHT-STAY (reports as User 00 if closing reports enabled)
Step Arming (arms STAY, then NIGHT-STAY†††, then AWAY) Output Device Command (for device programmed as system operation type 66–function key in *80 Menu Mode) Communication Test (sends Contact ID code 601)
Macro Key 1 (define macro by user code + [#] [6] [6] command) Macro Key 2 (define macro by user code + [#] [6] [6] command)

57 FUNCTION KEY PROGRAMMING MENU MODE

(press 57 while in Data Programming mode).

The system provides the ability to program each of the four keypad function keys to perform one of 12 system operations. The end user can then activate the function by simply pressing and holding the programmed key for 2 seconds. Typical functions (listed below) include single-button arming, turning lights on/off, or single-button paging.

To assign emergency key functions (function key option “00”), first program the respective emergency zone number (95 for “A” key, 96 for “C” key, 99 for “B” key) with the desired zone type using 56 (or 58) Zone Programming mode, then use 57 Function Key menu mode to assign the desired key.

To use a function key to activate a relay action (57 Menu mode key function 07), use 79 Menu mode to map the output, and use 80 Menu mode to define the output’s action; select system operation type “66.”

To use a function key for a user macro, use 57 menu mode to activate the desired key, then define the actual macro functions using the user code + [#] + [6] [6] command.
