Section 3: Turning Your System On
(Arming) and Off (Disarming)
This section describes how to turn your system on and off. Read this section care-
fully.
Turning On
Your System
1. Before you turn on your system, make sure that it is Ready. You can tell that the
system is ready when the green (Ready) light is ON.
If the green light is not on,
see the Note below
.
2. Enter your access code on the keypad. If you have entered the wrong code, the
keypad will sound one long beep - try again to enter the correct code.
When you enter a valid access code:
• The keypad sounds fast beeps.
• The red (Armed) light turns ON.
• The keypad starts to beep once every second. This tells you that the system
is turning on (Audible Exit Delay).
3.
If you will be leaving
, go out through the entry/exit door. Doing this tells the sys-
tem that you are away, and the system turns on completely.
If you will be staying
, do not open the entry/exit door. This tells the system that
you are staying, and the system turns on only the perimeter areas.
NOTE: If the green (Ready) light is not ON:
• Close all doors and windows
• Stop motion in all areas with motion detectors
If the yellow (Trouble) light is ON, check for possible trouble conditions (see
Checking Trouble Conditions
on page 16), and check that no zones are
turned off unintentionally (see
Turning Off Part of Your System (Bypassing
Zones)
on page 15).
