Chapter 2 User Commands

Any system keypad can be used to program or perform any keypad command. LED keypads use status and zone indicator lights to represent
alarm functions and status. The LCD keypad displays the description and status indicator lights represent alarm functions and status. This section
describes basic keypad commands.

Press the key to reset the keypad if an error has been made entering user codes or keypad commands.

2.1 Away Arming

The Ready light must be ON to arm the system. If the Ready light is OFF, ensure that all protected doors and windows are secure or
bypassed. To arm the system in the Away mode, either press and hold the Away function button for 2 seconds or enter a valid user code and
leave the premises through a door programmed as Delay. Upon arming, the Armed light will turn ON. If a user code was used to arm the sys-
tem and Stay/Away zones are programmed, the Bypass light will turn ON and will turn OFF when a door programmed as Delay is violated.
If the Audible Exit Delay option is enabled, the keypad will beep once every second during the exit delay (and three times a second during
the last 10 seconds) to prompt the user to leave.

2.2 Stay Arming

The Ready light must be ON to arm the system. If the Ready light is OFF, ensure that all protected doors and windows are secure or
bypassed. To arm the system in the Stay mode, either press and hold the Stay function button for 2 seconds or enter a valid user code and stay
within the premises (do NOT violate a door programmed as Delay). Upon arming, the Armed light and Bypass light will turn ON. If the Stay
function button is used, the keypad will not beep during the exit delay. If a user code was used, the keypad will beep if the Audible Exit
Delay option is enabled.

2.3 Disarming

The user must enter through a door programmed as Delay. Upon entering, the keypad will emit a steady tone (and emit a pulsing tone during
the last 10 seconds of entry delay) to prompt the user to disarm the system. Enter a valid user code to disarm the system. If an alarm occurred
while the panel was armed, the Memory light and the zones that went into alarm will be flashing (LED keypad) or the keypad will display
'Alarm in Memory' (LCD keypad). Press the [#] key to return the keypad to the Ready state.
