User Setup
 allows you to Add a User, Delete a User, and Edit a User. You may access User Setup from the System Setup 
screen. Each user must be assigned a name with a corresponding 4-digit user code in order to gain access to various features and

Authority Levels  Authority levels define the system functions a particular user can perform. Depending on the authority assigned to you, there are 
certain system functions you may be prohibited from performing. The following information describes the authority levels that 
can be assigned through the keypad and provides the equivalent authority level name found in your alarm system manuals. The 
authority levels that can be assigned are as follows:

In the rare event that the keypad cannot successfully communicate in its graphic mode with the control panel, the Safe Mode is a 
backup mode that ensures that you can communicate with your system.  
In this mode, the keypad operates much like a standard non-graphic keypad so that you can control your system until the 
problem is corrected. 
If this situation occurs, the keypad presents you with a message of “Problems detected. Start Keypad in Safe Mode?” and requests 
a “Yes” or “No” response. If you answer with “Yes”, the keypad enters into the Safe Mode. If you answer with “No”, the keypad 
tries to communicate with the panel again. After 3 consecutive times of receiving no response, the keypad enters the Safe Mode 
automatically.
 
Note: Use care when providing the “Yes” or “No” response. Pressing the screen outside the prescribed area may cause the 
background to come to the front. If this occurs, the Yes/No message that disappeared times-out in 30 seconds even though it is

appeared). 
Note that this is a limited mode of operation. While in this mode: 
•  You can use the Security icon to access the Console Emulation Mode of operation to try to clear your faults, disarm the system, 
or enter additional Alpha Keypad commands specified in your panel User Guide. You can perform almost all functions that you 
can perform from a standard non-graphic alpha keypad. 
•  You can press the “Panic” key and generate Emergency Messages as defined in the panel’s home partition for this keypad. 
•  The Armed and Ready LEDs on the front of the keypad indicates the keypad’s home partition status. The Message LED (on 
models with Voice feature) or Trouble LED (on models without Voice feature) is not active in the Safe Mode. 
•  The Chime mode functions in the Safe Mode. 
•  When an alarm occurs in the Safe Mode, it is displayed on the Console mode screen only and is not shown on the Home screen.
