Adjusting the Touchpad Display Brightness

You may want to change the brightness of a touchpad display based on its location in a building
or room. For example, dim the touchpad display in a bedroom or enhance a display near a win-
dow.
Changing the touchpad display affects only the touchpad currently being used.

4. Press + + to exit the programming menus.
After dimming the display, pressing any button momentarily returns the display to full bright-
ness. After 15 seconds without touchpad activity, the display returns to the set dimmed level. If
an alarm occurs while the display is dimmed, it automatically returns to the full brightness level
and stays that way until you disarm your system.

Adjusting the Volume of the Wireless Siren

Your system may include a wireless siren that may be supervised or unsupervised.
The system can supervise the state of the siren to make sure that it is plugged into the outlet.
In addition to Police, Fire, and Auxiliary alarms, the wireless siren will sound trouble beeps in
the event of a trouble condition anywhere in the system, and emit arming status beeps during
Entry and Exit Delay periods.
The wireless siren has five volume levels from 0 (silent) to 4 (loudest). All alarms sound at the
loudest level, regardless of the volume setting.
¾
To change the volume of the wireless siren:
1. Hold down the button on the front of the siren for ten seconds until it beeps, then release it.
The siren responds by beeping once, indicating it has entered change volume mode.
2. To increase the volume by one level, press the siren button for one second until it beeps.
Repeat until the volume reaches the desired level.
3. After the highest level, the siren sounds one long beep, followed by 4 short beeps to signal the
silent level. It then cycles through the levels again.
Use the Energy Saver feature to keep your house within a user-designated temperature range.
These high and low temperature points that you set override your normal heating and air condi-
tioning temperature settings. Doing so allows you to use more energy-efficient settings when
away from home.

Energy Saver Example

• At your touchpad, you set a high temperature point (to trigger the air conditioner) and a low
temperature point (to trigger the furnace). This needs to be done only once, but can be
changed easily if necessary.
• Let's say that you usually keep the temperature in your home at 68°F, but since no one will be
there during the day, you turn the Energy Saver feature on. If you've set the low temperature
point to 55°F, the furnace will keep the house heated to 55°.
• You're about to return home and would like the house to be heated to its normal 68°F when
you arrive. You can simply call home and turn the Energy Saver feature off, giving control
back to the furnace thermostat (68°).
Control your air conditioning temperatures in the same manner.
In addition to controlling temperature, the Energy Saver feature notifies the central monitoring
station if your heating or air conditioning unit fails—before pipes freeze or pets are harmed by
extreme heat or cold.
