• Interior zones do not produce a tone when they are faulted.
• Pressing the READY key will display the open protection points.
• Chime mode can be used only while the system is disarmed.

Using the Voice Chime
Voice keypads have a feature that works in concert with the Chime Mode called Voice
Chime. Voice chime provides a voice status annunciation, chime, and display when
any faulted entry/exit or perimeter zone exists. Ask your installer if this option has
been enabled for your system.
To turn Voice Chime Mode on or off: # + 0 + 2 + 4
(normal Chime mode must be on first)
When Voice Chime is on, faulted zones cause a voice status announcement, chime and display.
When off, the sounder still provides chime if normal Chime mode is on.
