Emergency Alerts

This three special key's function is best programmed by your installer to suit your
individual situation. Most commonly it is used in a panic situation.
These are a "PANIC", "FIRE", and "MEDICAL" alarm. Pressing two buttons
simultaneously generates the Fire and Medical alarms
How to initiate Panic
Press the <PANIC> or Press simultaneously <1>and <3>.
How to initiate Medical Alarm
Press simultaneously <7> and <9>.
How to initiate Fire Alarm
Press simultaneously<4> and <6>.

Generate Threat or Duress

If you are compelled to disarm the system under threat, you must enter the duress digit
before the user's code to activate the automatic dialer. The duress digit shifts up your
usual code by one digit. If your code is 345 and 8 is your duress digit, than entering
8345 will modify your code. The modified duress code will disarm the system in a
normal way, but at the same time will activate the dialer silently to report a "duress
event" without arousing suspicion. (For details ask installer.)

How to Read System Messages

When viewing the memory events at the keypad by pressing the <MEMORY>, the first
thing that will always be displayed is the system messages.
Following the display of current system alarms the panel will then sequence through the
255 historical memory events starting at the most recent event.
Any system failure that may that may occur, is indicated by system messages. System
messages are automatically displayed and are listed in Table 4. Read messages and
call for service.
