2-Button Panic Keys
The Panic key function of the keypads allows
users to send Panic, Emergency, or Fire reports
to the central station. The user must press and
hold the two Select keys for two seconds until
a beep from the keypad is heard. At the beep,
the panel sends an alarm report to the central
station with the following zone numbers:
19 = Panic, 29 = non-medical Emergency, and 39 = Fire.
The Panic key function must be programmed if the Panic keys are to be used. See the back of this page for
programming instructions. Install the supplied icon label below the top row of Select keys.
Internal Speaker Operation
The 690/790 keypad speaker emits standard tones for key presses, entry delay, and system alerts. When used with
the XR200 Command Processor™ Panel, the speaker also provides burglary, fire, zone monitor, and prewarn tones.
Entry Delay Prewarns
The 690 and 790 keypads provide an alternative entry delay prewarn cadence that occurs when a zone alarm is
displayed in the status list. This function only operates when the keypad is connected to an XRSuper6, XR20, XR40,
XR200, or XR200-485 Command Processor™ panel.
Keyboard Backlighting
The keyboard on the 690/790 lights every time a key is pressed or the speaker sounds. During an alarm condition,
the keyboard also illuminates in Red to visually alert people on the site. The Red backlighting is turned off when all
areas in the system are disarmed or when the Sensor Reset function is used.
The keyboard backlighting dims to medium brightness whenever the speaker is on.

The 690/790 keypads provide three adjustments to the keypad that can be made by the end-user. Below is a
description the options and instructions on their operation.
