If You Have a Two-Partition System

If you have a two-partition system, the VPM5580TC may prompt you to select a partition
after entering your access code (as in Section 2—Accessing Your Security System). You will
have to select a partition only if:

· your VPM5580TC has been enabled to control both partitions
· the access code you enter has been programmed to access both partitions

If both of these are the case, the system will prompt you to select a partition as follows:

“To Select {System}, press [1].”

“To Select {System}, press [1].”

“To Select {System}, press [1].”

“To Select {System}, press [1].”

“To Select {System}, press [1].”

“To Select {Partition 2}, press [2].”

“To Select {Partition 2}, press [2].”

“To Select {Partition 2}, press [2].”

“To Select {Partition 2}, press [2].”

“To Select {Partition 2}, press [2].”

(“{System}” in this case refers to Partition 1)

Press [1] or [2], to select a partition.

The system will announce the status of the selected partition.

NOTE: Prompt words enclosed in brace brackets, “{ },” refer to labels. The system
will announce the enclosed word by default unless it has been programmed to
announce a specific label (e.g. you might hear “East Wing” instead of “{Partition 2}”).

Fire, Auxiliary and Panic Keys

Your installer may have set up your system so that you can send a Fire, Auxiliary or Panic
alarm at the press of a button. If so, using your Communiqué telephone you can:

• send a Fire alarm by pressing and holding the Fire button for 2 seconds

• send an Auxiliary alarm by pressing and holding the Auxiliary button for 2 seconds

• send a Panic alarm by pressing and holding the Panic button for 2 seconds.

Ask your installer for more information.

NOTE: If the keypad lockout has been triggered by the entry of a number of incorrect
access codes, the Fire, Auxiliary and Panic alarm buttons will not work.

NOTE: The F, A, P keys can be enabled or disabled for each Communiqué key
telephone on the system. Please see your installer for details.
