EMERGENCY

Press FIRE, POLICE, or AUX for 2 seconds (or press twice quickly) to call the central
monitoring station and notify them of a non-medical call for help.
Your system responds to you through the use of panel voice messages, status beeps,
alarms, panel indicator lights, and to a numeric pager or remote phone if programmed.

Panel Voice Messages

When you press the buttons on the panel or the touchpads, the panel responds with
voice messages. Panel voice can be enabled or disabled (see "Options").
These messages may respond with system information or prompt you to take further
action. For example, if you want to disarm the system and you press the DISARM but-
ton, the panel responds by announcing, "Please enter your access code."
If you press a button and the feature has not been programmed, the panel voice will
respond with "Function not available." An example of this would be pressing Lights
Sensor (activated) button when you have no sensor activated lights in your system.

Status Beeps

Status beeps are used to indicate key presses, status, and problems with the system.
They can be enabled or disabled (see "Options"). The following table describes status
beep activity.
