6. Save the word by pressing the [8] key.
This will return you to the CUSTOM WORD? display. The custom word (or string of
words) will be automatically added to the built-in vocabulary at the end of the group of
words beginning with the same letter.
Custom words are retrieved as word numbers 250 to 269 for words 1 to 20 respectively,
when using method 3a to enter alpha descriptors.
When using method 3b, each word will be found at the end of the group of words that
begin with the same letter as it does.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 to create up to 19 additional custom words (or word strings).
8. Exit Custom Word Mode by entering 00 at the custom word prompt.
Partition Descriptors
1. Select "Part DESCRIPT." mode. The system will ask for the partition number desired.
Enter the number as a single key entry 1-8.
2. Follow the same procedure as for CUSTOM WORDS, except that partition descriptors
are limited to four (4) characters (ex. WHSE for warehouse).
Custom Message Display (Installer's Message)
Normally, when the system is in the disarmed state, the following display is present on the
keypad.
Part or all of the above message can be modified to create a custom installer message for
each partition. For example, ****DISARMED**** on the first line or READY TO ARM on the
second line could be replaced by the installation company name or phone number for service.
Note that there are only 16 character spaces on each of the two lines. To create a custom
display message, proceed as follows:
1. Select DEFAULT SCREEN mode. Enter the partition number for this message. Press [*]
to accept entry. The following will appear:
A cursor will be present at the extreme left of the first line (over the first "star"). The [6]
key is used to move the cursor to the right and the [4] key to move the cursor to the left.
Key [7] may be used to insert spaces or erase existing characters.
2. Create the message. For example, to replace READY TO ARM with the message
SERVICE: 424-0177, proceed as follows:
Press the [6] key to move the cursor to the right, and continue until the cursor is
positioned over the first location on the second line.
Press the [3] key to advance through the alphabet to the first desired character (in this
case, "S"). Use the [1] key to go backward, when necessary. When the desired character is
reached, press [6].
The cursor will then move to the next position, ready for entry of the next character (in
this example, "E"). When the cursor reaches a position over an existing character,
pressing the [3] or [1] key will advance or back up from that character in the alphabet.
Repeat until all characters in the message have been entered.
3. Save the message.
Store the new display message in memory by pressing the [8] key.
4. The system will ask for a new partition number.
Enter 0 to quit or 1-8 for a new partition number.
