seconds and will last for as long as the LCD displays the device.
Arming 'AWAY' / 'HOME'
If the system is READY and/or Forced Arming is enabled proceed as shown below. For more information on
Forced Arming, see "Forced Arming AWAY or HOME" below.
If the system is NOT READY and Forced Arming is not permitted, review any open zone detectors to locate and
secure them.
If you want to arm using partitions, see "Partition Selection Process" and then proceed as shown below.
If the user has changed the state of the system from a high security mode to a lower security mode i.e. from ARM
