The Settings menu

ReferenceHectare 5 firmware · 1.0.20Draft

Every item of the panel's own "Settings" menu — brightness, volume, language, touch sound, diagram settings, date and time, alarm delay, access level — with its range, default and access level.

The “Settings” menu holds the settings of the panel itself. Open it from the home screen: tap with two fingers, then tap “Settings” twice. The settings of the individual sensors are elsewhere — see Sensor settings.
