The following typographical conventions are used throughout this guide:
Default Settings: Values which appear in bold typeface signify the default value: e.g.,
Access code length:  6 digits  4 digits (4 digits is the default value)
Section numbers and keypad keys also appear in bold typeface, enclosed by
brackets: e.g., Section [706] must be enabled...
Throughout this guide, Magellan (MG) and Spectra (SP) will be referred to as MG/SP
Installer Code
The default installer code is 0000 or 000000. This code allows you to enter programming mode, where you can program all
features, options, and commands of the control panel, except for user codes. To change this code, see System Codes on page 30.
Maintenance Code
Similar to the installer code, the maintenance code allows you to enter programming mode and program all sections, except for
user codes and communication settings (sections [395], [397], [398], [815], [816], [817], [910], [911], [970], [918], [919], [920] to
[927], [929] to [935], [936] to [942], [943] to [949], and [975]) – these sections can only be accessed using the installer code. Since
there is no default code, see System Codes on page 30 to set a default.
System Master Code
The default system master code is 1234 or 123456. The system master code allows you to utilize any arming method, as well as
program user codes. To change the default code, see System Codes on page 30.
