Arming the System

Arming in Stay Mode
Use this mode when you are staying home, but expect someone to use the entrance door
later. Close all protected perimeter windows and doors before arming. The green
READY indicator on the keypad should be lit if the system is ready to be armed.
To arm in STAY mode:
** See Quick Arming paragraph.
The keypad beeps three times and displays the armed STAY message. The red ARMED
indicator lights and the system announces "armed STAY–exit now."
When armed in STAY mode, the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or
window is opened, but you may otherwise move freely throughout the premises. Late
arrivals can enter through the entrance door without causing an alarm, but they must
disarm the system within the entry delay period or an alarm will occur.
Restarting Exit Delay While System Armed
Ask your installer if this feature is active for your system. If active, you can restart the exit
delay at any time after arming in STAY mode. This is useful if you wish to open the
entry/exit door to let someone in after arming the system, and avoids having to disarm the
system and then re-arm it again.
To restart exit delay while system is armed in STAY mode: Press
Arming In Away Mode
Use this mode when no one will be staying on the premises. Close all protected perimeter
windows and doors before arming. The green READY indicator on the keypad should be
lit if the system is ready to be armed.
To arm in AWAY mode:
** See Quick Arming paragraph.
The keypad beeps twice, or beeps continuously if exit warning has been programmed for
your system, and displays the armed AWAY message. The red ARMED indicator lights
and the system announces "armed AWAY–exit now."
When armed in AWAY mode, the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or
window is opened, or if any movement is detected inside the premises. You may leave
through the entrance door during the exit delay period without causing an alarm. You may
also re-enter through the entrance door, but you must disarm the system within the
entry delay period or an alarm will occur.
