swings down to provide access plus four Special Function
Keys (A, B, C, D) are continuously backlit.
•System numerals, imprinted in large type on the keys for
easy identification. System functions appear below the keys

FUNCTION KEYS AND LABELS
The function keys are continuously backlit for ease of use.
(Check the User’s Guide that accompanies the control panel for
detailed instructions on the use of these keys.)
Function Keys - The function keys include keys for panic
alarm activation. The panic alarms are activated by pressing
key pairs [1] & [✱], [3] & [#], [✱] & [#].
How these panic keys function and the type of panic alarms
they produce is determined by the control panel’s capability
and programming. (Check with your installer for the
availability and programming of these panic keys.)
SPECIAL FUNCTION KEYS - These are the four keys
located to the left of the numeric keys (see Figure 1). The keys
may be programmed by your installer for panic alarms or other
special functions such as single-button arming. (Check with
your installer to see which options are available with your
system.)
Each of the four Special Function Keys must be held
down for at least two seconds to activate.
A set of adhesive labels with typical panic symbols is provided.
Place the appropriate label in the indented area on each key,
so that you can easily identify each key’s function.
SOUNDER
The built-in speaker has the following functions:
•Produces warning sounds during alarm and trouble
conditions, and also during entry/exit delay periods.
Provides acknowledgment tones when keys are pressed, and
confirmation tones for successful command entries.
