Turning on your system (Arming)
Before you arm your system, make sure the system is Ready:
• If the Ready light is ON, you can arm your system.
• If the System light is ON, check that no zones are bypassed unintentionally.
• If the Ready light is OFF, close all doors and windows and stop motion in all zones with
motion detectors.
• If the bell is sounding an alarm, the Ready light will be OFF and you will not be able to arm
your system.
Arming your security system – Stay and Away modes
Here are two basic methods for arming your security system. Use the Away arming method
when all occupants will be away from the premises. Use the Stay arming method when one or
more occupants will stay on the premises.
Away Arming:
When you arm your system using the Away arming method, both interior and border zones
will be active and will cause an alarm to sound when opened.
1.
Check that your system is ready to be armed.
2.
Enter your [access code]. As you enter each digit, the keypad sounder beeps. If you entered a
valid access code:
• The keypad sounder beeps quickly.
• The exit delay begins and the keypad beeps.
If you entered the access code incorrectly, the keypad sounder buzzes steadily for two seconds.
Re-enter your access code correctly.
3.
Exit the premises through the entry/exit door. At the end of the exit delay, all keypad lights,
except the Armed light, turn OFF. The system is now armed.
NOTE: If the System light is ON, there may be one or more zones bypassed (i.e. not
armed), or a system trouble may be present. See "Bypassing Zones". If you arm the sys-
tem with a zone bypassed or a trouble present, your security protection is reduced.
Stay Arming:
Use the Stay arming method when you want to stay on the premises, but prevent unautho-
rized entry from outside the premises. The system will arm only the border zones and will
bypass the interior zones so that you will be free to move around inside.
1.
Check that your system is ready to be armed.
2.
Enter your [access code]. As you enter each digit, the keypad sounder beeps. If you entered a
valid access code:
• The keypad sounder beeps quickly.
• The Armed light comes ON.
If you entered the access code incorrectly, the keypad sounder buzzes steadily for two seconds.
Re-enter your access code correctly.
3.
DO NOT exit the premises through the entry/exit door. The system will automatically bypass inte-
rior zones.
Arming bypassed zones
To fully arm the system when it has been armed in Stay mode:
1.
Press
(if enabled). The interior zones are now armed.
NOTE: This will not work if there are alarms in memory. Please see "Viewing Alarms in
Memory".
