About Function Key Programming (∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ 57 Menu Mode)
The system provides the ability to program each of the four keypad function keys to perform one of 12
system operations. The end user can then activate the function by simply pressing and holding the
programmed key for 2 seconds. Typical functions (listed below) include single-button arming, turning
lights on/off, or single-button paging.

Programming Function Keys

Function key programming involves:
1. Assigning the function key number and partition;
2. Selecting the desired function for that key.
Start Function Key Programming mode by pressing
following prompts are displayed:

† System defaults to these
function key settings.
For Options 09-12, note that
there are only four macros per
system. Therefore, be careful
when assigning these macros to
the various partitions.

Enter the partition in which the function key is active.
Enter the desired function for this key, 00 to 12, from the options
listed. (00 selected for example display shown at left)
†
00 = For the Function key selected, the function will be as follows:
If A selected = Zone 95 (emergency key, same as [1] [∗] pair)
If B selected = Zone 99 (emergency key, same as [∗] [#] pair)
If C selected = Zone 96 (emergency key, same as [3] [#] pair)
If D selected = Single-button paging
01 = Single-button paging (sends a 999-9999 message to pager)
02 = Display time
03 = Arm AWAY (reports as User 00 if closing reports are enabled)
04 = Arm STAY (reports as User 00 if closing reports are enabled)
05 = Arm NIGHT-STAY (reports as User 00 if closing reports enabled)
06 = Step Arming (arms STAY, then NIGHT-STAY, then AWAY)
07 = Output Device Command (for device programmed as system
operation type 66–function key in *80 Menu Mode)
08 = Communication Test (sends Contact ID code 601)
09 = Macro Key 1 (define macro by user code + [#] [6] [6] command)
10 = Macro Key 2 (define macro by user code + [#] [6] [6] command)
