Using the Chime Mode
CHIME mode alerts you to the opening of a perimeter door or window while the

Interior zones do not produce a tone when they are faulted.
Pressing the READY key will display the open protection points.
Chime mode can be used only while the system is disarmed.

Using the Voice Chime
Voice keypads have a feature that works in concert with the Chime Mode called Voice
Chime. Voice chime provides a voice status annunciation, chime, and display when
any faulted entry/exit or perimeter zone exists. Ask your installer if this option has
been enabled for your system.
To turn Voice Chime Mode on or off:
# + 0 + 2 + 4
(normal Chime mode must be on first)
When Voice Chime is on, faulted zones cause a voice status announcement, chime and display.
When off, the sounder still provides chime if normal Chime mode is on.
