Setting the system to the lowest level will mute the keypad entirely. The volume for the system can be changed at any time.

- Access volume settings: From the system's home screen, press [*] [6] [Master Code]. Afterwards, press the left arrow [<] once to reach "Buzzer Control". Then press the [*] key. You should have access to the volume settings menu.
- Adjust the volume: Use the left and right arrows on the system to change the volume. Pressing the left arrow [<] will decrease the volume one level. Pressing the right arrow [>] will increase the volume one level. Continue until the desired volume level is set.
