It's important to note that the ZC-7 supports only one of these states at any given time, meaning you cannot hold multiple buttons down simultaneously to page different combinations of zones.

The specific function of each button (A, B, C, D) is configured within the ZonePRO device's software. Refer to your ZonePRO system's manual for detailed instructions on programming page assignments for the ZC-7.

• Incorrect Paging/Zone Selection:
  • Review the programming of the ZC-7 within the ZonePRO software to ensure buttons are assigned to the correct zones or functions.
