Special Security Command Messages

As you use your system, you'll occasionally see a keypad display
that asks you to enter a user code or that describes a condition on
the system. Below are some examples of the displays you'll see:
ALARM
A 24 hour zone (for example, fire or panic) or an armed burglary zone
has been faulted. Your system may sound bells or sirens.
ALARM CANCELLED
An authorized user has cancelled an alarm condition by entering
their user code.
TROUBLE
There is a problem with a protection device or system component.
This display is accompanied by a description of the problem.
ENTER CODE
The system requires you to enter a personal user code. User codes
can be required for turning your system on (arming), turning your
system off (disarming), and many other system options.
As you enter your user code, the keypad display shows an asterisk
(*) in place of each digit pressed. This keeps others from seeing your
user code on the display as it's entered.
TRY AGAIN
The user code entered is not recognized by the system. Check the
user code and try again.
INVALID CODE
The user code you've entered is considered invalid by the system.
SYSTEM TROUBLE or SERVICE REQUIRED
There is an electronic failure in your system. Contact the service
department as soon as possible.

Your keypad also contains a small speaker that allows it to alert you
to events as they occur on your system. Below are brief descriptions
of the different tones you'll hear from the keypad:
Fire alert: Your keypad may sound a fire tone to alert persons in the
vicinity to the alarm condition. This is in addition to the bell output
from the alarm panel.
Burglary alert: Your keypad may sound a burglary tone to alert
persons in the vicinity to the alarm condition. This is in addition to the
bell output from the alarm panel.
Key press tone: A short beep as you press a key on the keypad.
Prewarn tone: A continuous pulsed tone that sounds when you
open an entry delay door on a system that is armed (turned on)
reminding you to disarm the burglary protection.
Monitor tone: A pulsed tone for one second, one pulse only that
sounds whenever a door or window is opened while you're using the
zone monitor function from the User Menu. See Zone Monitor.
Trouble tone: A steady tone indicating a trouble condition on your
system. Press a SELECT key to silence the trouble tone.
