Solution

For systems without a phone number:

1. Ensure the security system is disarmed.
2. Call the remote download operator for your company. (On the same line as the control panel).

4. When the operator directs you, enter COMMAND 43 at your command center. Press the COMMAND bar. The display shows SYSTEM COMMAND. Press the [4] key, then press the [3] key. Do not hang up the telephone.
   
   NOTE: You can also use the Command Menu instead of Steps 3 and 4 to initiate this function. Press the MENU key to enter the Command Menu, then press NEXT repeatedly until you reach the REMOTE PROGRAM ? prompt. Press ENT.
