Arming All Protection
(with Entry Delay ON)
Using the 2 Key
AWAY
Use this key when no one will be staying on the premises.
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 must disarm the system within the entry delay period or else an alarm
will occur*.
NOTE:
If the Auto Stay feature is enabled (ask your installer) and the system
is armed from a hard-wired keypad, and no entry/exit zone is violated during
the exit time, the system
will revert
to the STAY mode.
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.
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 also
lights.
The
You may exit now
portion of the
message disappears when the exit delay time
expires.

NOTE:
There is an automatic Exit Restart feature built into your system. It works
this way: If you realize that you forgot something and have to go back inside the
premises (within the original exit delay time), as soon as you re-enter, a new exit
delay time sequence is started. This restarting of the exit delay time occurs only once
during each arming session, however; therefore you're permitted only one return
without setting off alarms.
