About The Touchpads; General Information - ADT Security Manager 3000 User Manual

Your touchpads allow you to control all system functions. The touchpads feature the
following:
A telephone style (digital) keypad
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) which shows the nature and location of all
occurrences
Built-in sounder which will sound during alarms and troubles. The sounder also
"beeps" during certain system functions and when depressing any of the keys (to
acknowledge the key press).
Backlighting of the LCD display windows. Backlighting turns on when entering the
premises through any assigned entry/exit door, or when any touchpad key is
pressed. This feature is helpful when a touchpad is located in a dimly lit area.
IMPORTANT: If the touchpad beeps rapidly upon entering the premises, it indicates
that an alarm has occurred during your absence and an intruder may still be on the
premises. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe
location.
There are two basic types of touchpads which are functionally the same, but they
have different types of displays.

keys on the touchpad, simply open the swing-down door.
English display touchpads are functionally identical to
Custom English display touchpads, but the LCD display
uses pre-designated words to identify the nature and
location of occurrences. To access the keys on the touchpad,
simply open the swing-down door.
