#### Troubleshooting Tips

1. **Panel won't send despite correct programming:**
   - Rarely, a default may be needed
   - Power down, default, reprogram

2. **Account number issues:**
   - MUST be entered at both 811 and 812
   - With LED keypad: type account code twice at loc 811

3. **PGM trigger issues:**
   - Jumper on motherboard above PGMs sets positive trigger
   - One model only sets one PGM as positive (not both)
   - Paradox fixing in next PCB version

4. **6500 Panel on serial:**
   - Does not send account code
   - Only sends signal ONCE

---

#### Clear Event Buffer

For 5050 and 6000:

1. Enter programming mode
2. Press Stay key once
3. Press Clear key once
4. Power panel down
