SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Phone Access &
Voice Response
Capability
Your system may include a phone module that permits you to access the system via a
TouchTone phone, either on-premises or by call-in when away. The phone access feature
enables you to hear synthesized voice messages over the telephone regarding the status of the
security system, and allows you to arm and disarm the system and perform most commands via
the telephone just as you would from the keypad, with voice confirmation provided after each
command entry. Complete information regarding the use of this feature is provided separately
with the phone module.
Access Door
Control
Your system may be set up such that a locked access door (such as in a lobby) can be
unlocked using a keypad command. Ask your installer if you have this feature.
To unlock the door: Enter your security code and press
0
. The door unlocks for 2
seconds.
Self-Help Feature
Abbreviated user's instructions are built into the system and can be easily viewed on the alpha
keypad's display screen. This feature can 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. Refer to the
FUNCTIONS OF THE KEYPAD section for descriptions of each key function.
