It's best to just repeat what you've entered and make sure you've
programmed the correct data that way.

Stay *instant* will only activate if you press (*), (9), and your four
digit code.

If the system isn't monitored try entering a code for the programmed
test transmission.  If you leave this field as "FF" when you've
activated the "Pager" option, the panel won't transmit anything.  If you
don't want it calling you except for in an emergency then leave this
field blank ("FF").  If you program burg and fire zones to transmit a
signal, arm the system and trip it.  It should dial out to your pager then.
