button from one of the main menus to exit keypad programming. Pressing it in the other
menus returns to the previous menu. The Up/Down buttons are also used in several menus

5.14.2 Zone Password
Each zone can be programmed with a password to prevent unauthorized reprogramming
of zone by keypad programming. When this password is programmed, it must be entered
before system or channel parameters in that zone can be changed by keypad programming.
The zone password is programmed. A different password can be programmed for each
zone.
Note Ensure that the zone passwords are not lost because they cannot be overridden in the
field.
When an attempt is made to select a system or channel parameter in a password protected
zone, “Enter Pswd” is flashed. The password is always eight digits long and is entered
using the same procedure as used for the power-up password described below. After the
password is entered, system and channel parameters for that zone can be reprogrammed
normally.
The password can be 1 to 8 digits in length, and consists of digits 0 to 9. It is entered as
follows: If an incorrect password is entered, “Incorrect” is displayed and it must be re-
entered. A password of 0 deactivates the feature.

to be reprogrammed. It does not change the zone selected for normal operation.
Press the (Menu) button to select the “Change Zone” parameter and then scroll
through the programmed zones by pressing the Up/Down buttons. When the desired zone
is displayed, select it by pressing the (Menu) button.
