About the Touch Screen Control
General
**IMPORTANT**
If the LYNX Touch is beeping rapidly upon entering the premises, an alarm has occurred during your absence
and an intruder may still be on the premises. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a
nearby safe location.
The touch screen icons and keys allow you to control all system functions. Additionally, the touch screen display
shows the zone and description of all system occurrences.
The system also features a built-in sounder, which will sound during alarms and troubles and a built-in speaker
announces system status. Additionally, the system "beeps" during certain system functions, such as during
entry/exit delay times, in Chime mode, and when depressing any of the keys (to acknowledge the key press).
The voice announcement volume is adjustable. The “beeps” that sound in response to alarms always sound at
the maximum volume level however, the volume level for all other “beeps” (trouble, chime, exit/entry, etc) can
be adjusted.
