Home/Away System Arming

Area Assignment: Your security system is divided into two or three
separate areas. Motion detectors, inside doors, and other interior
devices are assigned to an Interior and possibly Bedroom area while
windows and exterior doors, are assigned to a Perimeter area.
Arming the system: When arming a Home/Away system, the
keypad displays HOME AWAY or HOME SLEEP AWAY. If you
select AWAY, you arm all areas of the system. You want to arm all
areas when leaving with nobody staying inside.
Selecting HOME arms only the system Perimeter. Perimeter arming
is for when you are staying inside but want the comfort of knowing
the exterior doors and windows are armed.
Selecting SLEEP arms the Perimeter and Interior devices but leaves
devices near bedrooms and other nighttime areas off.
