Panic Keys

There are three Panic keys (A, B, and C) that, if programmed, can be used to manually initiate
alarms and send a report to the central station.
Each key can be programmed for 24-hour Silent, 24-hour Audible, Fire, or Personal Emergency
responses.
The programmed Panic response is activated when the appropriate key is pressed for at least 2
seconds.
The Panic keys are identified by the system as follows:
Keys
[A] (∗/1)
[B] (∗/#)
[C] (3/#)
IMPORTANT: For a Silent panic function (if programmed) to be of practical value, you must
program a report code for the zone and the system must be connected to a central station.
