Ok...never done it on Vista stuff... so..bear with me,,

*85 field is where you set the cross-zone timer
*81 is where you set up the Zone List...it looks like List 4 is where =
you set the zones to be cross-zoned.

Read the *Install* Manual you should be able to figure it out from =
there.

with this particular panel. You install 2 motion detectors in one area, =
then program them as cross-zoned with each other. A trip on one will not =

frame (usually programmable in the panel). Then with a little creative =
pir placement you're all set.
