Audio Feedback
Audio tones are used by the KeyPad to indicate the status of an operation. They indicate when an operation has
been performed successfully, and help determine the cause of an unsuccessful operation. There are nine audio
tones generated by the KeyPad:

User Operations
KeyPad user operations include powering the KeyPad on and off, reading KeyBoxes, viewing KeyPad
information, performing manual updates, viewing error codes, and checking the KeyPad battery status.
Powering On
The KeyPad is powered on by pressing the green Start button. When the KeyPad is rst powered on, it displays
the name of the person the KeyPad is currently assigned to, then automatically goes to the Obtain Key menu.
Powering Down
The KeyPad does not have a button to turn it off, but it does power itself down automatically. There are several
instances where the KeyPad powers down to maximize battery life: after a function is completed, the KeyPad
powers down; if a button is not pressed for 20 seconds, the KeyPad powers down; when connecting to a KeyBox,
the KeyPad searches for a KeyBox for 2 minutes and then powers down.
