System Overview (cont’d)

Master Keypad Operation

A "Master" keypad is one on which the status of all 8 partitions is displayed simultaneously. A user can get more information about a certain partition by simply entering [] + the desired partition number (1-8). To log on to the "Master" partition (9) using the GOTO command, and to perform any functions at a Master keypad, a user must have access to all partitions.

Self-Help Feature

Abbreviated user’s instructions are built into the system that can be easily viewed on the alpha keypad’s message display screen. This feature will prove particularly useful if this manual is not conveniently accessible when you need to perform a system procedure with which you are not familiar.

To view the abbreviated instructions:

Simply press and hold down the function key of interest until the description starts to appear (about 5 seconds) and then release it. The system must be “READY TO ARM” to perform this function.

Refer to the FUNCTIONS OF THE KEYPAD section for descriptions of each key function.

Phone Access & Voice Response Capability

Your system may include a 4285 or 4286 VIP module that will permit you to access the system via a Touch-tone phone, either on-premises or by call-in when away. The phone access feature will enable you to do the following:

Receive synthesized voice messages over the telephone regarding the status of the security system.

Arm and disarm the system and perform most function commands via the telephone, with voice confirmation provided after each command entry.

Control 4204/4204CF relays devices and lights and appliances through the #70 Manual Relay Activation mode.

Complete information regarding the use of this feature is provided in a separate manual entitled PHONE ACCESS USER'S GUIDE, which accompanies the 4285 or 4286 VIP module.
