About The Keypads 
General 
IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering the 
premises, it indicates that an alarm has occurred during your 
absence. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE 
from a safe location nearby. 
NOTE: If you have a Touch Screen Keypad connected to your system, refer 
to the Touch Screen Keypad User Guide for operating instructions. 
Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature a 
telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that shows the 
nature and location of all occurrences. Keypad display back lighting is programmable 
to always stay on or to light only when a key is pressed, then turn off a few minutes 
later.  
The keypads also feature a built-in sounder that will sound during alarms and 
troubles. It will also "beep" during certain system functions, such as during entry/exit 
delay times, during CHIME mode, and when depressing keys to perform system 
functions (to acknowledge the key press). These sounds can be optionally suppressed 
in some of your keypads (so as not to disturb other users of the system). Ask your 
installer if this has been done. 
The Alpha Keypad 
Alpha keypads feature a 2-line, 32 character alphanumeric Liquid Crystal Display 
(LCD) that can display system messages in user-friendly English. Abbreviated user's 
instructions can also be displayed (see Self Help paragraph in the SYSTEM 
OVERVIEW section). These keypads can also be programmed with custom zone 
descriptors.
