Messaging
System Messages
Your security system supports receiving messages from the Central Monitoring Station. The
messages can be about system upgrades, additional services, special regional weather alerts, etc.
The messages can be sent for all system users to read, or as confi dential messages that only the
Master User can read. Messages can be tagged by the sender as standard or urgent priority.
Up to 31 text messages can be stored in the Control Panel's memory. They can be reviewed through
the Control Panel's display. Displayed messages can be fi ltered by type and sorted by date or
alphabetically. Messages can be saved in the Control Panel, or deleted after they are read.
Displaying Messages
When a message is sent to the Control Panel,
three beeps will sound and the message icon
will display on the Security Screen. Standard
messages will display a blue
icon with a number in the upper right corner
indicating the number of unread messages.
Urgent messages will immediately display a
red
message icon with an attention
symbol in the upper right corner of the icon.
