First power the system down completely (AC and Batt.)
Power system back up.
Go to the keypad and hold * and # together within 50 seconds
you're now in program mode

Change installer code:
*20 + new 4 digit code

We will disable the TLM AND the cental station info:


Clear primary phone number *41*
clear secondary phone (just in case) *42*
clear account number *43*
clear account number 2 *44*
Disable TLM *92 + 0

Exit programming *99

Anywhere online *except* Bass Burglar Alarms.  He's a rotten crook.

You can connect to the system via Compass software, but it's only for
programming and remote operation.  A special modem is required, and
it's really not worth the effort for an end-user.  The software is
supposed to be for installers only.

NOTE:
Enter programming from now on by typing <new installer code> + 800
