OMMUNICATING
WITH THE
Touchpads allow you to communicate with the
panel. In turn, the system can be set up to commu-
nicate with you through:
• status beeps from touchpads and speakers,
• alarm sirens,
• scrolling text on alphanumeric touchpads,
• flashing lights on LED touchpads,
• voice feedback over Touchtone phones or
interior speakers, and
• system information over pagers.

Instructing the Panel

Most of your instructions to the panel consist of this
basic pattern:
Not just anyone can walk up to a touchpad and
operate your security system. Before the system
will process most commands, users are required to
enter a pre-programmed 4-digit access code.
Keychain touchpads that are enrolled as part of the
system do not require an access code, but are usu-
ally kept in an individual's pocket or purse.

If you would rather use an
actual key to arm and disarm
the system, your security
dealer can install a special key
and keyswitch in your home.
Touchpads—Your System Interface
There is a broad range of touchpads that can be
used with your panel—from a single-button panic
sensor which sends only panic alarms, to an alpha-
numeric touchpad that displays text and allows
extensive user programming.
