Did you go into the keypad configuration mode now to determine what
the configuration of your present keypad is? You should do that first
so that you know how to configure your new keypad. If your old keypad
configuration was changed in any way during installation and you don't
know what the changes are, you could wind up with some problems. Go
from point to point in the configuration mode an write down the
setting in each. ( see how to get into the configuration mode below.
Just don't power the system down now.)

Once having determined what your present keypad configuration is,
power down the entire system, ( transformer and battery) Change the
keypad. Move the jumper on the panel PCB. Power up the panel pluging
the transformer in first and quickly attaching the battery. The system
will come up in the "OUT OF SYSTEM" mode at the keypad. Press in 11123
and the function button to get into the keypad configuration mode and
make it the same as your present keypad. Look at the Installation/
Programing insturctions for specifics on how to do this. Once this is
completed, move the jumper on the panel PCB back to the run position
and run for cover.  Nah!

It may take more than a minute for the keypad to return to the normal
running mode.
