Arming Ding: In addition to the keypad beeps, the external sounder emits a short "ding" sound after arming, if programmed to do
so. The ding confirms that the system is armed, and may occur immediately after the command or be delayed (until arm/disarm
report is sent or exit delay expires). Ask your installer about how this feature is set for your system.
Quick Arming
If "Quick Arming" was programmed by the installer, the
the security code when arming the system in any of the arming modes (except Night-Stay).
However, the security code must always be used when manually disarming the
system.

system. See your installer for the designated functions (see Single Button Arming
