There are 41 Custom Messages available. The Edit Trouble Message, 32 Zone Messages, and 8 Area Messages.
To assist you in entering the Custom Messages, a program- ming template is included with the keypad. The template is shown below and the operation of the keys is described at the top of the next page.
