What to do when there is an alarm
When there is an alarm, the LED of the area in alarm and the alarm LED flashes on the keypad. If the screen
saver is active, the LEDs will start flashing when a user code has been entered). The time and date message is
no longer displayed.
An area can have several zones associated with it. When there is an alarm, it is important that you know
exactly which zone is causing the problem so that you can quickly deal with it.

disarming the area". Press ENTER to accept.
