Turn Off the Display When Inactive

A keypad Brightness setting of 1 allows the keypad display to turn off automatically after a brief period of inactivity. The Arm/Disarm LED remains lit. A keypad Brightness setting of 0 allows both the keypad display and LED to turn off automatically after a period of inactivity. To wake the display, tap any part of the touchscreen surface.

Change System Wi-Fi Password

When you change your network’s Wi-Fi password, the system detects that the password has changed and asks you to update it. To close the Incorrect WiFi Password dialog and return to the main menu, tap the Shield icon. To reopen the dialog from the main menu, tap the Wireless icon.

  1. Tap ENTER PASSWORD.

  2. Use the onscreen keyboard to enter your password:

    • Press ABC to enter uppercase letters

    • Press abc to enter lowercase letters

    • Press !@# to enter special characters

    • Press 123 to enter numbers

  3. Tap CMD.

Clean the Keypad

The Clean Keypad Screen option locks the screen for 40 seconds so you can clean it without accidentally pressing buttons. Use gentle pressure to clean the display, screen, keys, and housing. Use only alcohol sprays or wipes that contain 70% isopropyl alcohol to clean keypad surfaces. Avoid spraying cleaner directly onto the keypad, oversaturating cleaning cloths, or allowing cleaner to make contact with internal electronic components, cables, or power sources.

  1. In the Carousel Menu, tap Options.

  2. Tap Clean Keypad Screen.

  3. Use an alcohol wipe or spray a small amount of rubbing alcohol onto a clean, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe down all keypad touch surfaces, removing any excess cleaner.

  4. Wait 10 seconds, then completely dry all keypad surfaces.

  5. If necessary, use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to gently remove streaking.

After the countdown timer expires, the keypad returns to normal operation. To exit the countdown early, press and hold the Shield icon for 2 seconds.
