For example, F1 can be programmed so that a full arm occurs by just pressing this key. They are generally set up by the installer. The function key must be pressed and held for 2 seconds or pressed twice within 2 seconds to perform the task.
USING KEYFOBS There are 2 types of keyfobs that can be used with the system. These are wireless (RF) keyfobs and infra-red (IR) keyfobs. RF keyfob If you have an RF receiver with your CS250 system, you can use an RF keyfob. There are 2 types of keyfob, one with 2 buttons and one with 4 buttons. The buttons can be programmed to perform different functions. An indicator LED flashes while the keyfob is transmitting to show that it is in use. The transmission range of the keyfob depends on the battery life.
