detailed instructions on the use of these keys.)
Function Keys - The function keys include keys for panic
alarm activation. The panic alarms are activated by pressing
key pairs [1] & [✱], [3] & [#], [✱] & [#].
How these panic keys function and the type of panic alarms
they produce is determined by the control panel's capability
and programming. (Check with your installer for the
availability and programming of these panic keys.)
SPECIAL FUNCTION KEYS -
located to the left of the numeric keys (see Figure 1). The keys
may be programmed by your installer for panic alarms or other
special functions such as single-button arming. (Check with
your installer to see which options are available with your
system.)
Each of the four Special Function Keys must be held
down for at least two seconds to activate.
A set of adhesive labels with typical panic symbols is provided.
Place the appropriate label in the indented area on each key,
so that you can easily identify each key's function.
