the Walk Test modes, it will annunciate with an audible warning (5 beeps every 10 seconds), beginning

Allowing Computer Access to Your System

From time to time, your installer may need to send information to or retrieve information from your
security system. Your installer will do this by having a computer call your system over the telephone line.
You may need to prepare your system to receive this 'downloading' call. Press [*][6][Master code][5] at
any keypad. This allows downloading for a limited period of time. During this time, the system will answer
incoming downloading calls.
