You could do all that but...

1. The operator who takes the call and places the system on test for you is
a low paid clerk who couldn't care less *why* you're putting it on test.
2. Even if they knew you had moved the keypad Brinks wouldn't do anything
about it.
3. There's a lot behind some of the "warnings" you get from folks here that
has nothing to do with reality.

In short, don't sweat it.  Just call to put it on test, move the keypad and
then test the system before you call back to end the test period.  Nothing
bad will happen.  The sky won't cave in and Brinks won't send out a team of
misfits (they're busy posting in Usenet) or anything else.
