Pressing both the emergency keys generates a Fire, Medical, or Panic Alarm, and alerts the monitoring sta-

tion. e.g., to generate a panic alarm press both of the panic alarm keys for 2 seconds. The keypad

beeps to indicate that the alarm input has been accepted and sent to the monitoring station.

The system can generate three different alarm sounds, each with a different purpose and priority.
