primary power is on when this is lit.
If the indicator is off, system is
operating on backup battery power.
On keypads with a "READY" LED,
system is ready to be armed if this
indicator is lit. An unlit indicator
means the system is not ready (a
zone is open).

the STAY, NIGHT-STAY, AWAY,

A-B-C KEYS:
These keys may be
used as PANIC keys, if Quick Arm
(
21) is not enabled, or as Arming
keys if
Quick Arm
is enabled.
Keypads without this option use key
pairs to activate panic alarms. Refer
to
Panic Keys and Arming
section
for descriptions of these keys.
The D key, when available, is
typically programmed to send a
special message to a Pager. Refer to
the
Paging Feature
section for
details.
IMPORTANT!
When you use the keypad to enter codes and
commands, press the keys within 2 seconds of
one another. If 2 seconds elapse without a key
depression, the entry is aborted and must be
repeated from its beginning.
