SECURING THE PREMISES Arming the System Auto Stay Feature If this feature is enabled by installer, the system, when armed AWAY from the control keypad or a Wireless Keypad, switches to the STAY mode if the Exit Time expires and no one has exited the premises.
SECURING THE PREMISES Entry/Exit Delays Exit Delay Exit delay begins immediately after arming the system, and gives you time to leave through the designated exit door without setting off an alarm. A slow beeping will sound throughout the exit delay period, if programmed.
