Menu navigation
Each menu contains a list of options and/or submenus. Press the scroll up/down buttons to navigate up and 
down the list of options and submenus in that menu. Pressing Enter after navigating to an option selects that 
option for editing and flashes the current value. Pressing Enter after navigating to a submenu enters that 
submenu, making a new list of options accessible. Pressing STATUS exits a menu and goes to the next higher 
level.
Programming options are arranged in a menu structure as outlined in Table 12. The top menu contains several 
features, as well as the System Programming menu. When accessing the System Programming or System Tests 
menu, the panel prompts you to enter an access code. To continue, enter the master code, then press Enter.
To program an option, first navigate to that option until it is displayed, then press Enter. The option value will 
start flashing, indicating that it is ready to be changed. Use the scroll keys or enter a numerical value to change 
the option, then press the Enter key to save the change.
