Just in Case Timer
If you are nervous about answering the door to a stranger, the 'Just in Case' timer may
first be set by entering '
1*
' A 60 second time period will begin, during which the alarm
control will 'beep' every few seconds. Once you are satisfied that the caller poses no
threat, the timer may be cancelled, by using your normal 4-digit code. If this is not done,
the system will generate an alarm at the expiry of the time period. This alarm will NOT
be transmitted to an alarm central station.
3.2.2
Fire Alarm
The keypad may be used as a fire alarm call point by entering ''

'' This will cause an
alarm to sound, pulsing on and off at two-second intervals. This alarm will NOT be
transmitted to an Alarm Central Station.

On pressing the * key alone whilst the system is in normal mode (ie display showing 'd'),
the current time and date setting will be displayed, two characters at a time, in the form:
HH MM DD MM
ie HOURS MINUTES DAY MONTH shown sequentially.
eg
14 30 18 07
would indicate 2.30 pm, 18th July. To adjust this setting, refer 6.5
