PENDING 1 GEM-RP3DGTL.pub page 1 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 14:03 INTRODUCTION The GEM-RP3DGTL is a "smart", interactive, menu-driven keypad designed for your Napco control panel. A digital display is provided to show the status of your system. This booklet contains important information about the operation of your system with this GEM-RP3DGTL Keypad. Read it carefully and keep it handy for future reference. Check the Glossary for an explanation of terms that may be unfamiliar to you. You'll probably find subjects mentioned in this booklet that do not apply to your system. Napco control panels have such a wide variety of features that few security systems, if any, will ever need them all. Your alarm professional has chosen appropriate features for your particular needs. Regardless of how your system has been configured, rest assured that it has been carefully designed and engineered to the highest industry standards. To assure optimum safety and security, familiarize yourself with this equipment. Periodically check its condition and state of readiness by testing it at least once a week in both the ac/battery and battery-only modes (ask your alarm professional how to make these tests). IMPORTANT - TEST YOUR SYSTEM WEEKLY Test your sounding device telephone line 1. While disarmed, enter your User Code, then press the A button. 2.
