Using the Keypad
Keypad Displays Current Programming
Most User Menu options displayed at the keypad show the currently 
selected option in the panel memory. These options are either 
shown as a number, a blank, or a NO or YES. To change a number or 
blank to a new number, press any top row Select key. The current 
option is replaced with a dash. Press the number(s) on the keypad 
you want to enter as the new number for that prompt. 
It is not necessary to enter numbers with leading zeros. The 
panel automatically right justiÞ es the number when you press the 
COMMAND key. 
To change a option that requires a NO or YES response, press the 
top row Select key under the response not selected. 
For example, if the current prompt is selected as YES and you want 
to change it to NO, press the third top row Select key. The display 
changes to NO. Press the COMMAND key to go to the next prompt.  
Multiple Displays Containing Programming
For many User Menu options, such as User ProÞ les and Access 
Areas, there will be several displays containing lists. For example, 
when using Access Areas, area 1 through 32 display on four 
separate displays. First, areas 1 through 8 display. Press the 
COMMAND key to display areas 9 through 16. Press the COMMAND 
key again to display areas 17 through 25. Press the COMMAND key 
one more time to display areas 26 through 32. 
Note: If areas are not programmed to display at this keypad, you 
cannot view them. 
Asterisks in Area Armed Displays
Asterisks display next to a programming option that is already 
selected. As shown in the example, options chosen to display 
the current programming selection have an asterisk next to the 
number. Those that are not selected simply display the number.  
In the Devices example, keypads 3, 8, 9, and 15 are not selected. 
In the Areas example, keypads 3, 8, 9, 15, 19, 23, 25, and 31 are 
not selected. In both examples the keypad numbers with asterisks 
are selected. 
To select an option that is not already selected, simply enter the 
number using the digit keys on the keypad. To deselect an option, 
enter the number using the digit keys and the asterisk is removed.  
This same scheme is used when viewing the panel armed status 
and other programming and operational functions. Remember to 
press the COMMAND key to display the rest of the device or area 
numbers.
