The number "8" indicates a system clock trouble.  This means you'll have
to reset the system time.  You can do this with the master code (not the
installer code).

When you powered down the panel and then powered it back up did you hear
a series of clicks from the small relay on the lower right side of the
main board?  If so, the panel's *locked* from local programming unless
you know the installer's code.  If there was no "clicking" then
resetting the panel will involve reprogramming it from scratch.  Do you
have a programming manual?  It explains how to default the panel and is
essential in reprogramming the system afterwards.

I'd suggest giving the installing company a call and having them come
out to default the installer code.  It will probably cost you a service
call but it will save you a few headaches.  If that's not an option and
you don't have the manual, email me at feolson at yoursecuritysource dot
com and I'll see you get the PDF.
