The Cellular Signal Strength option in the panel’s Diagnostic menu contains a roaming
indicator. When the 263C Cellular Communicator is roaming or not in contact with a
Verizon owned tower, ROAM will be displayed on the top line of the keypad along with the
signal strength. To perform the cellular activation process from a keypad, the 263C MUST be in contact with
a Verizon owned tower. If the cellular communicator is in contact with a tower owned by another network,
ROAM and the signal strength displays, but activation cannot be completed. This feature can be used as a
