Never tried that.  I'd suggest the keypad buttons won't respond after a few
presses because it's not hooked up to a control, but all the pretty lights
should work (except "ready", "armed") and the display will be blank or read
"D1", "Com Error", or some other trouble message...  Of course, if the
keypad's *stolen*, then it'll read:  "This keypad has been stolen.  Please
contact the local authorities and have the user arrested immediately".  :-))
