ARMING OPTIONS

About Home-Away Zones
Some zones on your system may be programmed as Home-Away Zones so that you may use the Arming
Options described on this page. Home-Away Zones feature the ability to be automatically bypassed when the
commands described below are entered; this saves you the trouble of having to manually bypass zones using
the [ ][1] Bypass command.
Your installer will inform you of which zones on your system are programmed as Home-Away Zones.
At-Home Arming
At-Home Arming automatically bypasses the Home-Away Zones on your system, and removes the Entry
Delay from the Entry-Exit Zones. This feature allows you to arm the system and remain on the premises.
In addition, if any of the Entry-Exit doors are opened, an alarm will sound instantly.
To use At-Home Arming, enter [ ][9][Access Code] on the keypad. The "Armed" light will FLASH to
remind you that there is no Entry Delay on the Entry-Exit doors.
Home-Away Arming
Home-Away arming automatically bypasses the Home-Away Zones; the Entry Delay will still apply to the
Entry-Exit zones. You may use this feature to arm the system and remain on the premises. Another
household member would still be able to enter the premises through the Entry-Exit door without causing
an alarm. When the Entry-Exit door is opened, an Access Code would have to be entered to disarm the
system.
To arm the system with Home-Away Arming, enter an Access Code and do not open the Entry-Exit door.
When the Exit Delay expires, the system will be armed with the Home-Away Zones automatically
bypassed. The "Bypass" light will come ON to indicate that the Home-Away Zones have been
automatically bypassed.
To reactivate the zones automatically bypassed by Home-Away Arming, enter [ ][1] on the keypad. The
"Bypass" light will be shut OFF to indicate that the Home-Away Zones are no longer bypassed.
Quick-Exit
The Quick-Exit feature allows you to leave the premises when the system is armed with At-Home or Home-
Away Arming without having to disarm the system. To use the Quick-Exit feature, enter [ ][0] while the
system is armed. When the command is entered, you will be allowed up to 2 minutes to activate a Delay
Zone and leave the premises. If the Entry-Exit Delay Zone is opened after 2 minutes, the Entry Delay will
begin. If the system is not disarmed before the end of the Entry Delay, an alarm will sound.
Quick-Arm
The Quick-Arm feature allows you to enter [ ][0] to arm the system. This command is designed to allow
someone to arm the system without that person having to be provided with an Access Code. When [ ][0]
is entered, the "Armed" light will come ON and the Exit Delay will begin; you may now leave the premises
through the Entry-Exit door. At the end of the Exit Delay, the system will be fully armed.
Refer to the Changing System Functions section of this manual for instructions on turning the Quick-Arm
function on and off.
