Functions
Display

and symbols to show the status of the security system
and for interacting with the security system. When
several events occur, the keypad shows each event in
order of priority. The keypad detects when a user
approaches and automatically activates the display.
User icons and keys
The keypad greets the user with a home screen that
shows the system status at one glance using a large
icon. The user can change the system status by simply
touching this home screen icon. The touch screen
display also offers icons on the ribbon bar. These
visually pleasing graphical icons are easy to use for
accessing menus and other options. The keypad has a
variety of keyboards for entering alphanumeric
characters. The keypad screen has numeric keys and
one function [CMD] key. When pressed, keys emit a
muted beep. Use the keyboards for entering
passcodes, activating commands, and entering
alphanumeric characters.
