The MX1 maintains a history of the 900 most recent events that have
occurred. These are stored in non-volatile memory, so are not lost on
power down. When the history is full, the oldest event is deleted so a
new event can be added.

When contacting technical support services, ensure that the
event message shown on the MX1 LCD is quoted exactly as
shown.
Each message in the Event History shows a change in the state of some
system component, for example a zone or a point. The message shows
the new state, the component that changed, and the time and date when
the change was registered.
