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.
