This is to prevent unintentionally turning the SuperCell
TM
off
while clearing alarms. A message will be displayed on the
bottom status line indicating that the unit cannot be turned
off until the alarm has been cleared. To force the Super-
Cell
TM
to turn off, even with an active alarm, hold down the
Up button, along with the two PWR buttons. This could
be necessary in the case where alarms are coming in from
unknown or uncontrolled sources.
The SuperCell
TM
operation is controlled by six side push but-
tons noted in the photo above. The button on the left of the
SuperCell
TM
unit is the Mode or Menu button, the button on
the right is the Select button.
Note: The display Backlight is activated for ten seconds with
each button press or received Alarm message. The Back-
light may be disabled in the unit Setup Menu, for covert
security operations.
