          Appeal No. 96-4189                                                          
          Application 08/279,157                                                      



          generated by the remote control when the user presses button                
          24 on the remote control.  The indoor remote signal receiver                
          20 then communicates with the control panel 6 via another                   
          communication channel such as RF.  The control panel 6 then                 
          sends to the indoor remote signal receiver a prompt, "enter                 




          first code."  This prompt is displayed on the display 30 of                 
          the                                                                         
          indoor remote signal receiver 20 to instruct the user.  The                 
          user then presses a series of actuations of either of the                   
          buttons 24 or 26 of the remote control 22 to enter the first                
          code.  The display 30 then provides a second prompt asking the              
          user to  enter a second code.  On page 8 of the specification,              
          Appellant discloses when all of the proper codes have been                  
          properly entered, display 30 then provides a prompt, "do you                
          want the system to remain armed" and again the user can commu-              
          nicate "yes" or "no" by pressing a particular sequence of the               
          buttons on the remote control 22.                                           
                    The independent claim 8 is reproduced as follows:                 

                                          3
