Turning On
Your System
When
Everyone is
Away (Away
Mode)
When you turn on your system using the Away method, both interior zones (e.g.,
motion detectors) and perimeter zones (e.g., door and window contacts) will be
active and will cause an alarm if they are opened.
1. Check that your system is ready (green Ready light is ON).
2. Enter your [access code]. As you enter each digit, the keypad sounder beeps.
If you entered the access code incorrectly, the keypad sounder buzzes steadily
for two seconds. Re-enter your access code correctly.
When you enter a valid access code:
• The keypad sounds 6 fast beeps.
• The red (Armed) light turns ON.
• The exit delay time begins and the keypad beeps once every second. The
keypad beeps quickly (twice per second) for the last 10 seconds of the exit
delay time.
3. Exit the premises through the entry/exit door. Doing this tells the system that
you are away, and the system turns on all the interior zones.
At the end of the exit delay time, all keypad lights, except the red (Armed) light,
turn OFF. The system is now ON.
NOTE: If the Bypass icon is ON, there could be one or more zones not
turned on. See Turning Off Part of Your System (Bypassing Zones) on page
15. If you turn on the system with a zone bypassed or a trouble present,
your security protection is reduced.
Away Button
You may also be able to turn on your system in Away mode using the
Away
button on your keypad. Press and hold it for two seconds to turn ON the system in
Away mode.
Your installer will tell you if this feature has been enabled on your system.
What to Do if
the Siren
Sounds
Immediately
After You Exit
In order to reduce false alarms, the system can notify you of an improper exit
when turning on the system in the Away mode. If you do not securely close the
entry/exit door during the exit time, the keypad will emit one continuous beep and
the siren will sound.
If this occurs:
1. Re-enter the premises.
2. Enter your [access code] to turn off the system. You must do this before the
entry time ends.
3. Turn the system on again, making sure to close the entry/exit door properly.
