STAY
Use this key when you are staying home, but expect someone to use
the entrance door later.
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 visitors 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.
Close all protected perimeter windows and doors before
arming
(see
Checking for Open Zones
section). The green READY
indicator (if present) on the keypad should be lit if the system is ready
to be armed.

Listen for 3 beeps.
The keypad beeps three times and
displays the

The

time expires.
You can restart the exit delay at any time after arming in STAY mode
by pressing the

entry/exit door to let someone in or out after arming the system
without having to disarm the system and then re-arm it again*.
