Arming the system in any mode is performed in the same way, as described below.

button. The "Arming" screen is displayed.
2. On the "Arming" screen, press the selected arming
button.
iCenter beeps twice (Away and Night Maximum
Modes) or 3 times (Stay and Night Instant Modes)
a DISARM button appears
a text message appears stating which zones are
arming and whether or not there is an entry delay
the screen changes to display the remaining exit
delay time, and
a yellow "lock" appears next to the pressed button
to indicate the system is arming.
The exit delay time continues to decrement to zero.
When this time indicates zero, the screen automatically
changes to indicate the system is "Armed" and the
"lock" next to the pressed button changes to red. The
