The COMMAND key is used to speed up system operation. It can be pressed to go
“forward” one step during various operations of your alarm system. It can go
forward through the list of Menu Options or through each step of a particular Menu
Option. The COMMAND key is excellent for quickly stepping through a list of
information such as the names of the armed loops in the Loop Status Menu Option.
The COMMAND key is also used when entering information, such as code numbers
or a loop number. Think of it as a carriage return on a typewriter and press it when
you have entered information on the keypad and you are ready for the SECURITY
COMMAND to take it. The information requested by the SECURITY COMMAND
must be entered first. The COMMAND key will not skip past a step that requires
you to make an entry.
The back arrow is used for “backing up” when operating your system. It can be
pressed to back up through the list of Menu Options or when entering information
such as a code number. If an error is made while entering information press the
back arrow and the character will be erased.
The back arrow will also back up a step in the operation of any Menu Option. If the
back arrow is pressed at the first step in a Menu Option the option will terminate.
This is a quick way to exit a Menu Option when you are finished with it. The back
arrow will not back up through a list of information within a Menu Option, such as
Alarmed Loops or System Status.

The top row of keys are called the select keys. Each time a select key is to be used
its function will be labeled by the display above it. By labeling each key with the
display they can be used for many different applications such as entering AM or PM
when setting time or selecting which areas of your system you want to arm during
system arming. The most common use is selecting a Menu Option. This is done
by pressing any one of the select keys when the name of the Menu Option is
displayed.
