How Your System Communicates
to You
Your system responds to you through the use of panel
voice messages, status beeps, alarms, panel indicator
lights, and to a numeric pager if programmed.

Panel Voice Messages

When you press the buttons on the panel or the touchpads,
the panel responds with voice messages. Panel voice can
be enabled or disabled (see "Options").
These messages may respond with system information or
prompt you to take further action. For example, if you
want to disarm the system and you press the DISARM
button, the panel responds by announcing, "Please enter
your access code."
If you press a button and the feature has not been pro-
grammed, the panel voice will respond with "Function not
available." An example of this would be pressing
CHIME Special Motion button when you have no motion
sensors in your system.
Note
The panel will not give voice messages during an
AVM session. Talk to your security system dealer to
see if your panel has the AVM option.

Status Beeps

Status beeps are used to indicate key presses, status, and
problems with the system. They can be enabled or disabled
(see "Options"). The following table describes status beep
activity.
Note
You may receive a different number of status beeps if
buttons are pressed quickly.

stop sounding after a specified time.
