About The Keypads 
General 
IMPORTANT: If the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering the 
premises, it indicates that an alarm has occurred during your 
absence. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE 
from a safe location nearby. 
Your keypads allow you to control all system functions. The keypads feature 
a telephone style (digital) keypad and a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) that 
shows the nature and location of all occurrences. Keypad display back 
lighting is programmable to always stay on...
