VP Keypad Setup Function
To enter setup mode:
1. Press the *, 0, and # keys simultaneously
2. Enter the factory password: 8898
3. Press the # key
NOTE: In the event the password is changed and then forgotten, you can
disconnect power from the keypad and then hold the program button while
reconnecting power. This will bypass the password prompt and enter the setup
mode directly. When using this method, you will also be prompted to Restore
Factory Defaults. Select yes to restore all default factory settings including the
site name and password.
Press the # key to advance through each setup parameter. A parameter is
automatically saved when you press # and move to the next parameter. If
the timeout is allowed to occur, the current parameter WILL be saved.
Numeric values are entered directly into the unit using the number keys.
When an option is presented, use the * key to scroll through the available
settings.
There are two (2) ways to exit Setup mode:
• Press the 7, 8, and 9 keys simultaneously
• Go through all of the setup functions
A timeout is built into the system that will exit Setup mode if there is no
input on the keypad for an extended period of time.
