House, Garage etc) where part of the system can be Armed while other areas (sections) of
the system are disarmed, the “Change Keypad Area” can allow full control of your system
from the one Navigator Keypad.

allows the Navigator Keypad to control any of the 8 Areas the M1 controls.

changed (or mapped) to a different Area to allow you to fully control an alternative
Area. For example if your Navigator Keypad is programmed to control Area 1, and
you select this option it can change the keypad and make it a Area 2 keypad.
