Added warning on page 2 and important notice on page 8. Warning: The use of non-NAPCO wireless devices with this control panel has not been evalu- ated by UL and voids the UL listing. In addition, the performance of these devices can not be guaranteed as compatible with NAPCO control panels.
Conventional LEDs and a sounder are also provided for annunciation. Data may be quickly and easily downloaded to the control panel using a PC-compatible computer with Napco's PCD- Windows Quickloader software and PCI2000 computer interface. Or, the panel may be programmed using the keypad in its secondary mode of operation.
