Auditory Feedback (Beep Tones)
When you enter information on the keypad, the keypad
will guide you with beep tones to communicate the
acceptance or rejection of your commands.

disarming) is successful, or when the system switches to a
new status/mode, the keypad emits a fast beep (“BEEP-
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP”).

status, or when a command is incorrectly entered, the
