Overview

Thank you for selecting a security system from Paradox Security Systems Ltd. This advanced technology security system provides you
with reliable security protection and powerful features that anyone can use without memorizing complex and confusing codes. The
system consists of the control panel, one or more keypad modules, various input devices (e.g. motion detectors, door contacts, etc.) and
various output devices (e.g. bells, sirens, lights, etc.).
The elegant and user-friendly MG32LCD, MG32I, MG32LRF, MG32LED and MG10LEDV/H keypad modules allow you to easily access
your security system's functions and provide you with an easy-to-understand display of your security system's alarm and operational
status. All of the actions performed in your security system will be executed and displayed through the keypad. Therefore, before using
your security system, we highly recommend that you read this manual carefully and have your installer explain basic system operation to
you.

Basic Operations

Auditory Feedback
When you enter information on the keypad, it will guide you with beep tones that communicate acceptance or rejection of your entries.
You should be familiar with these two keypad beep tones:
Confirmation Beep: When an operation (e.g. arming/disarming) is successfully entered on the keypad or when the system switches to a
new status/mode, the keypad produces an intermittent beep tone ("
Rejection Beep: When the system reverts to its previous status or when an operation is incorrectly entered on the keypad, it will emit a
continuous beep tone ("

the action will be cancelled. Refer to the
