+---- Thread: FF not arming to vacation mode (/thread-5625.html)
- gsnottingham - 04-07-2025
I recently updated my firmware to the current version from quite an old version and also installed a GSM module.
We always had the system programmed so that when we pressed the lock symbol the alarm would bypass the garage sensors and then set to away mode. We could then access the garage on our way out of the house.
If we were going out and wanted the whole house including the garage to be alarmed then we pressed \'FF\' and the system was set to vacation mode.
Since my recent upgrade, pressing FF does not do anything. We can only set to vacation mode by using the GSM module.
Is there now a different way to set to vacation mode that I have missed?
Thanks

Yes we removed the FF function ling ago as the F key was easily pressed 2 times and could cause the system to arm to vacation wrongly
you can assign any unsused function key eg F* to the Response for \"key arm to vacation mode\"
alternateky in user menu press 1 to arm abd 4 for Vacation Mode

Thanks. I programmed F* to vacation mode but then the keypad gave an error and asked me to press *1. When I did that I got another error saying it failed. Do I need to do something else? My keypads are KP04 (not 4A).

Can you login on the keypad and hear the voice menu?:if not then the system b has lost its voice. It should nbot be caused the caused by the response. If the voice is lost you must do a vocab upgrade

When I select vocab upgrade in comfigurator I get the message \"Wordlist English Residential does not match that in Comfort. Wordlist Lost of Corrupted has been selected\"
Is there a set of instructions I can follow to fix this? Thanks

This is just a warning that the vocab in comfort is corrupted
Please see instructions here http://www.comfortforums.com/view_topic.php?id=1623&forum_id=76&jump_to=6424#p6424
