How Your System Reports Alarms

Your security system may be programmed to automatically disconnect
your telephones when sending reports to your security company. Once
the report is completed, the system returns the telephones to normal
operation (check with your security company).
Your system makes repeated attempts to send reports to your security
company. If your system fails to report, the keypad signals a system
trouble. Follow the Checking System Troubles procedure.
Note: If your telephone service is interrupted, your security system
cannot send reports to your security company unless it has an alternate
means of transmitting them.

Keypad Backlighting

You can choose to have the keypad's display constantly backlit (Option
1), or to have the display light when a key is pressed (Option 2). When
(Option 2) is chosen, the display times out after twenty seconds.
To change the current setting, press and hold [CLEAR] for five seconds.
If you're changing the backlighting from Option 1 to Option 2, you see
the backlight go off. If changing from Option 2 to Option 1, you hear a
short beep to indicate the change.

Checking System Status

When the system is off, pressing [CLEAR] shows current system status.
The following messages might appear:
SYSTEM OK Indicates that the system is ready to turn on.
NOT READY TO TURN ON Indicates that a Part point is faulted.
Either return the point to normal or turn the system on with
points open (see Bypass Points).
NOT READY TO TURN ALL ON Indicates that an All point is
faulted. You can either turn the system Part On, return the
point to normal, or turn the system on with points open (see
Bypass Points).
ALARM MEMORY Indicates that an alarm event was placed into
memory (see Viewing Alarm Memory).
