Touch-screen Display
LYNX Touch’s Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) touch-screen displays variable icons and text on “screens”. The
screen displays status icons and associated text, the current time and date, system status information and
menu choices. The Menu area includes a list of commands, or choices that apply to the current selection. The
status area provides information about various system events and a colored bar also provides an indication
of system status. A “Home Screen” is displayed whenever power is applied to the system. In addition the
Green (Ready) LED is lit when the system is ready or flashes when it is not. The Red (Armed) LED is lit
when the system is Armed.

Navigation Keys
Navigating through the screens is accomplished by lightly touching the menu item on the touch-screen. Once
activated, the control will take you to the next screen. Selecting the “Home” (cancel) key or the “
2
” Key will
return you to the previous screen at any time unless System Programming mode is active. By Touching
(selecting) an icon or key the system, depending on the function, advances to another screen, toggles between
options or scrolls through multiple options that can be selected. The system provides a prompt when a
specific input is required.
Note: You may find it convenient to adjust the volume setting before entering the Program Mode. This will allow you to clearly
hear the feedback announcements or system beeps from the system’s built-in speaker. To adjust the volume, select
“More” on the “Home Screen” and then select “Settings”. Adjust the volume using the slide displayed on the Settings
screen and then select “Save” to accept. Upon exiting the Program Mode, the system resets the volume to the default
value (mid level).
Dashboard Screen
When Total Connect Services are connected and web content is enabled, the Home Screen is replaced by the
Dashboard Screen. System Status is displayed at the top of each screen. In addition to the system status, the
Dashboard Screen displays time and date, weather and five selection “icons”.
