Remember when every panel came with a physical keypad manual?

I was cleaning out a van from 2008 and found three thick binders of programming guides. Now you get a QR code to a PDF that might not even load. Anyone else miss flipping through a real book to figure out zone doubling?

Taped a cheat sheet to the inside of every panel door after losing a manual once. Worked great and you could find it in the dark with a flashlight.

The 2007 Honeywell Vista I cracked open last week had a cheat sheet taped inside too, but it was from the original installer and half of it was in a code I still haven't cracked. At this point the QR codes might as well be a prank because half the time the link is dead or it takes you to a generic support page. Honestly I'd rather have three binders of zone doubling secrets than a broken link and a support chatbot that suggests restarting my panel.

Buddy of mine taped a whole manual to the inside of his panel door back in 2012. Still there, still readable, still saves his bacon every time.
