Single Button Arming; Single Button "Step" Arming - Honeywell Home VISTA Series User Manual

Single Button Arming

The "A", "B", "C", and/or "D" keys on your keypad may have been programmed for single-
button arming. Note that while it is not necessary to use a security code for arming (by
using the Quick Arm method described previously), a security code must always be used
when manually disarming the system.
If Single-Button Arming is programmed:
• A function key has been assigned to a specific type of arming: STAY mode, NIGHT-
STAY mode, AWAY mode, or STEP-ARMING (see Step-Arming paragraph).
• You DO NOT need to enter your security code before pressing the function key but you
always need your security code to DISARM the system.
Before arming, close all perimeter doors and windows.
1. Press and hold the assigned function key for 2
seconds (no code is required). Function keys are
shown below.
2. The keypad begins beeping and displays the armed
message. The red ARMED indicator also lights.

Single Button "Step" Arming

Single-Button "Step" arming may be programmed into one of the lettered keys (A, B, C, or
D). Check with your installer to see if this has been done in your system.
If Step-Arming is programmed:
• The assigned key provides a choice of three levels of security.
• The selected key can be pressed once, twice, or three times, increasing the level of
security with each press, as follows
