The functions of these three special keys are best programmed by your installer to
suit your individual situation. Most commonly they are used in a panic situation.
The alarms keys are:
PANIC
An alarm can be generated by simultaneous pressing of two buttons.
How to initiate a panic alarm
Simultaneously press <♫> and <CTRL>.
How to initiate a fire alarm
Simultaneously press <A> and <B>.
How to initiate a medical alarm
Simultaneously press <♫> and <B>.
If you are compelled to disarm the system in case of threat, you must enter the du-
ress digit before entering the user's code in order to activate the automatic dialer.
The duress digit extends your usual code by one digit. If your code is 345 and your
duress digit is 8, entering 8345 will modify your code. The modified duress code
will disarm the system in a normal way, at the same time activating the dialer si-
lently to report a 'duress event' without arousing suspicion. (For details ask your in-
staller.)
If this feature is installed, it must be checked by the user after installation.
WARNING Incorrect programming may lead to dangerous situations if people are under
threat.
