System Messages
Your security system supports receiving messages from the Central Monitoring Station. The messages
can be about system upgrades, additional services, special regional weather alerts, etc. The messages
can be sent for all system users to read, or as confi dential messages that only the Master User can
read. Messages can be tagged by the sender as standard, urgent, or emergency priority.
Up to 31 text messages can be stored in the Control Panel’s memory. They can be reviewed through
the Control Panel’s display. Displayed messages can be fi ltered by type and sorted by date or
alphabetically. Messages can be saved in the Control Panel, or deleted after they are read.

three beeps will sound and the message icon
will display on the Security Screen. Standard
