Do you have a question about the Paradox Two-Way Remote Control V2.1 and is the answer not in the manual?

The REM2 (previously MG-REM2) is a water-resistant 5-button two-way remote control designed for security systems, offering both auditory and visual feedback. It provides users with the status of their system and allows for various control actions.

Function Description:

The primary function of the REM2 is to provide remote control and status feedback for compatible security systems. It allows users to arm and disarm their system, receive notifications about system alarms, and trigger panic alarms. Beyond security functions, it also offers accessory feedback related to FM tuners and PGMs (Programmable Outputs). The two-way communication capability means the remote can send commands to the system and receive status updates back from it.
