3.2 Keyfob Response

When executing a command, the keyfob's Transmission LED blinks red once to indicate transmission of the command to the control panel. If
the operation is successfully completed, the green LED lights momentarily and a "happy tune" is heard. If the operation fails or cannot
be completed, for example, when the system is "not ready", the red LED lights steadily and a "sad tune" is heard. When executing a
command and there is a communication failure between the keyfob device and the control panel, the keyfob's Transmission LED remains off
and no tune is heard.

the unit will send a low battery signal to the control panel.

When forced arming (bypass zones) is performed, the keyfob buzzer “protests” by emitting a continuous tone during the exit delay for 5
seconds (for more details, see the PowerMaster Installer Guide, section 5.5.2).
