Point is, it isn't intuitively obvious that you push an unmarked button to
silence a trouble.  If DMP were smart, they'd mark a button "SILENCE."

And you've got to admit that DMP sucks big time when it comes to resetting
a smoke detector.  They're the worst in the industry for that.  For those
of you who don't know DMP, this is how you reset a smoke:

1.  Press COMMAND.  The display says "ARM      DISARM."
2.  Press COMMAND again.  The display says "MENU      NO    YES."  Press
the key underneath the word YES.
3.  The display says "ENTER CODE: "  Enter your code, then push COMMAND.
4.  The display says "ALARM SILENCE?"  Press COMMAND.
5.  The display says "SENSOR RESET?"  Assuming you realize that a smoke
detector is a sensor, you've come to the right place.  Press any of the
unmarked keys in the top row.
6.  Congratulations!  You've managed to reset a smoke detector on a DMP
panel.

By contrast, here is how you reset a smoke detector on an Ademco panel:

1.  Enter your code and push the OFF key.

Even that's not good enough.  Why can't manufacturers include keys labeled
"SILENCE" and "RESET."
