Arming The System; Arm The System (Stay Mode) - 2gig Technologies EDGE User Manual

ARMING THE SYSTEM

You can arm the system only when the system status message indicates that it is in the System Ready to Arm or
System Ready to Arm (BYPASS) state .
IMPORTANT: If any sensors are open (for example, a perimeter door or window is ajar) the system will be
placed into the System Not Ready to Arm state and reveals the unprotected zone in Sensors Not Ready list on
the touchscreen . Before you can arm the system, you must either close the open sensor(s) or bypass the open
sensor(s) . See Force
TIP: If you have purchased a keyfob (or multiple fobs) to control the 2GIG EDGE Security & Smart Home
System, you can also arm the system using your keyfob . See

Arm the System (Stay Mode)

Stay Mode arms the system except interior sensors .
Use this mode when occupants will be staying on
the premises . In residential installations, Stay Mode
is frequently used during the evening hours when
occupants do not intend to enter or exit the dwelling .
This lets you move about without triggering the burglary
alarm . Because all the interior burglary protection is OFF,
an alarm would only be triggered if a sensor-protected
perimeter door or window is opened . To learn how to arm
the system in Away Mode, see Arm the System (Away
Mode), next column .
NOTE: Consult your installer to determine if
your system is configured with the Quick Arming
feature . When enabled, the Quick Arming feature
allows anyone to arm the system without entering
a user code . When disabled, you must enter an
active user code to arm the system .
To arm the system in Stay Mode:
1 . Ensure that all perimeter doors and windows are
closed . The system status message should read
System Ready to Arm . If the status messages
reads System Not Ready to Arm and the
Sensors Not Ready list appears, a protected
door or window is open. You must first close
that door/window or place it on the Bypassed
Sensors list . See Force
2 . At the Home screen, tap ARM STAY .
3 . (Optional) At the Enter Your Code to Arm the
System screen, enter an active user code . If the
Quick Arming feature is enabled, you will skip this
step and not be prompted for a user code .
A countdown timer appears and the system
announces "Arming Stay" . The countdown gives
occupants time to enter or exit the premises
through a protected door .
4 . (Optional) To silence the countdown beeps and
announcements, tap Silence . This turns the
Silent Exit feature ON . Activating Silent Exit will
extend the exit delay time .
Once the countdown expires, occupants will not be able
to enter or exit through protected doors and windows
without triggering the burglary alarm or an entry delay .
