SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Master Keypad
Operation
A "Master" keypad is one on which the status of all 8 partitions is
displayed simultaneously. A user can get more information about
a certain partition by simply entering ✱
+ the desired partition
number (1-8). To log on to the "Master" partition (9) using the
GOTO command, a user must have access to all partitions.
Self-Help Feature
Abbreviated user's instructions are built into the system that can
be easily viewed on the alpha keypad's message display
screen. This feature will prove particularly useful if this manual is
not conveniently accessible when you need to perform a system
procedure with which you are not familiar.
To view the abbreviated instructions:
Simply press and hold down the function key of interest until
the description starts to appear (about 5 seconds) and then
release it.
Refer to the FUNCTIONS OF THE KEYPAD section for
descriptions of each key function.

Your system may include a 4285 VIP module that will permit you

commands via the telephone, with voice confirmation provided
after each command entry.
