Conditions/ Notes

•If the keypad is disabled to respond to the All ON command and is OFF when the All ON command is issued, it will not respond to the command. If it is turned ON while Party Mode is active on the system or was ON prior to the All ON command being initiated, it will automatically be entered into Party Mode as a non-Master.

•If the keypad is enabled to respond to the All ON Participation command and is OFF when the All ON command is issued, it will turn on and enter into Party Mode as a non-Master.

•The keypad issuing the All ON command will be the master keypad and be able to control the source selection for any other active zones. The power button will blink slowly tree times to indicate the Master status and then will remain lit. Volume control and Power On/Off remain independent for each keypad.

•Non-Master keypads in Party Mode cannot change the source. They will all show and follow the source choice of the Master keypad. If a user tries to change sources with a non-Master keypad, the volume up and down and source buttons will blink three times to indicate the error.

•Non-Master keypads can be turned OFF by a press and release of the Power button. Any keypad (Master or non-Master) can issue an All OFF command.

•Turning the Master keypad OFF will exit Party Mode, and allow the other zones to regain source control.

•A non-Master keypad cannot issue an All ON command. The source and volume buttons will blink three times to indicate an invalid command, and then will return the keypad to normal operation.
