No, if the board is locked NOTHING is defaulted......absolutely nothing
happens (but unlike DSC, you also don't lose any of the programming). If the
board is not locked, everything goes back to factory. It's all or nothing !

There is no way of really knowing at first glance if the default has been
successful except usually all the zone lights come on on the keypad. Plus it
then responds to your attempts to access programming mode using the factory
default programming code of 000000. And since virtually no one uses 6 digit
codes, the simple fact that you have to use 6 digits to enter programming
mode tells you that it has been defaulted.

If you need the sheets, I can download them off the site and e mail them to
you...I have an access code to the site. If you want hard copy, I can snail
mail them to you as well.
