2. The keypad beeps twice and displays the armed message. The red ARMED

3. You may leave through an entry/exit door during the exit delay period without

protected window or non-entry/exit door is opened, or if any movement is detected
inside your premises.
You may re-enter through an entry/exit door, but must disarm the system within
the entry delay period to avoid an alarm.

If the system is armed AWAY
and no one has passed
through an Entry/Exit zone, the
system will automatically arm in
the STAY mode, if so
programmed. Ask if this feature
is present in your system and,
if so, check here:

ENTIRE SYSTEM (INTERIOR
