System Overview (Cont'd)

User Codes

Each user must be assigned a name with a corresponding 4-digit user
code in order to gain access to various features and functions. Users
for the system are programmed in a central user setup location that
provides the specific questions for authorization level, partition
assignment, and RF button assignment.

Extended Functionality

Extended functions are advanced functions that can be accessed
through a standard alpha keypad or through the console emulation
mode on your TouchCenter touch screen. Refer to your Control Panel
User Guide for these features.

Safe Mode

The TouchCenter contains a Safe Mode of operation. In the rare event
that the TouchCenter cannot successfully communicate in its graphic
mode with the control panel, the Safe Mode is a backup mode that
ensures that you can communicate with your system. In this mode,
the TouchCenter operates much like a standard non-graphic keypad
so that you can control your system until the problem is corrected.
If this situation occurs, the TouchCenter presents you with a message
of "Problems detected. Start Keypad in Safe Mode?" and requests a
"Yes" or "No" response. If you answer with "Yes", the TouchCenter
will go into the Safe Mode. If you answer with "No", the TouchCenter
will try communicating with the panel again. After 5 consecutive
times of receiving no response, the TouchCenter will enter the Safe
Mode automatically.
Note: Use care when providing the "Yes" or "No" response. Touching
the screen outside the prescribed area may cause the backgound to
come to the front. If this occurs, the Yes/No message that disappeared
will time out in 30 seconds even though it is not visible. Then the
keypad will reset into the Normal Mode (or Safe Mode if this is the
third time that the warning message appeared).
While in the Safe Mode, the Home screen will display the Security
button, Panic Button, and a message at the bottom of the screen as
shown below:
