Message Recording/Playback/Volume Control

Recording a Message

Your system can record a brief message (up to 20 seconds) that can be played back later.
To record a message: FUNCTION + RECORD
The keypad beeps and displays “REC MESSAGE.” Begin speaking into the microphone.
NOTE: The Record function can only be performed from the master keypad. It cannot be performed from
any other wireless keypad (ex. 5827).
To stop recording before the end of 20 seconds: Press OFF
Otherwise, the recording automatically stops after 20 seconds. The keypad beeps twice, the REC display
turns off, but the MESSAGE display remains on.

Message Playback

The lighted word MESSAGE indicates that a new message is in memory. After playing the message, the
MESSAGE display turns off. See NOTE below if using a wireless keypad.
To play back a message: FUNCTION + PLAY

Adjusting the Volume

The volume level of message playback, system announcements, and status beeps can be changed. You can
also mute system announcements if desired. See NOTE below if using a wireless keypad.
To adjust message playback/system announcemnt volume:
FUNCTION + VOLUME + [3] or [6] †
† [3] = increases volume one level, [6] = decreases volume on e level (when pressed the keys beep a t the selected volume.)
Repeat the key sequence until the desired volume level is achieved.
To mute system announcements: FUNCTION + VOLUME + OFF
When muted, no system announcements will be made. Recorded messages will be announced, though,
when PLAY is pressed.
To restore announcement sounding: FUNCTION + VOLUME + [3] or [6]
Volume level will be restored to the level that was selected prior to muting the sound.
NOTE: If a wireless keypad (5827) has been installed and is programmed for quick arming, it cannot be
used to activate message playback or adjust the volume. In this case, you must use the master
keypad to perform these functions.
