In this video, Dylan from Alarm Grid explains how to use the Clean Screen feature on a 2GIG GC Touch security system. He begins by noting that wiping the panel screen without this feature risks accidentally applying pressure or heat that triggers something on the panel, so Clean Screen disables the touchscreen while keeping the system and monitoring fully active.
You'll then learn how to access Clean Screen by entering Settings with the Master Code and navigating to Screen Management. Dylan demonstrates the feature's 30-second countdown window, during which you can safely wipe the screen with a microfiber cloth without worrying about setting off the alarm or sending a signal to your monitoring company. He also notes that you should avoid harsh chemicals like Clorox, and that a lightly dampened cloth is usually all you need.
By the end of the video, you'll know how to access Clean Screen mode and safely wipe down your panel. Keeping the screen free of smudges and buildup helps maintain accurate touch sensitivity and keeps your 2GIG GC Touch panel looking and working its best.

![Honeywell VISTA-20P, VISTA-15P, VISTA-21iPLTE: Custom Word or Phrase on Alpha Keypad
In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid shows you how to set a customized word or phrase on an Alphanumeric Keypad for a Honeywell VISTA P-Series Security System. This is a great way to add a touch of personalization to your VISTA System, as the message will be there to greet you whenever you use the keypad to operate the system. It will also be displayed on any other Alphanumeric Keypad that is on the same partition as the message that you adjust. For reference, the Honeywell VISTA-15P is a single-partition system that you can just treat as Partition 1, while the Honeywell VISTA-20P, VISTA-21iP, and VISTA-21iPLTE Systems include Partitions 1 and 2, plus a Common Lobby Partition.
The process for setting the customized word or message can be a bit tricky at first, but it really isnt so bad once you get the hang of it. First, you must get into programming by using the command [Installer Code] + [8] + [00]. Remember that the default Installer Code is [4112], so try that code first if you dont know what else it may be. Then get into the Alpha Programming Field with the command [*82]. Choose [1] for Yes, and then enter the two-digit code for the partition whose custom word you are editing. This is [11] for Partition 1, [12] for Partition 2, or [13] for the Common Lobby Partition. Then you will enter the custom word or phrase. The word or phrase can be up to 16 characters maximum. Use [#] plus a two-digit code for enter a character, with character codes ranging from [#32] to [#90]. For reference, letters start at [#65] for A, and run thru [#90] for Z. You can use [6] to move to the next character slot to the right, and [4] to move to the previous character slot to the left. Refer to the systems Installation Manual for a complete list of two-digit character codes. Once you have the desired word or phrase entered, press [8] to save. Then exit programming by entering [00] at the Custom? screen, followed by [0] at the Program Alpha? screen, and lastly [*99] to exit programming. The change will be saved, as long as you pressed [8] at the screen when entering the custom word or phrase.
