SECURING THE PREMISES
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:
+ STAY
or press and hold
STAY
**
Your User code**
** 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
STAY
key
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:
+ AWAY
or press and hold
AWAY
**
Your User code **
** 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.
