Use this key when you are staying home and do not expect anyone to use the entrance door.
When armed in INSTANT mode, the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or window
is opened, but you may otherwise move freely throughout the premises. The alarm will also
sound immediately if anyone opens the entrance door.
Close all protected perimeter windows and doors before arming (see CHECKING FOR
OPEN ZONES section). The green READY indicator on the keypad should be lit if the system
is ready to be armed.

then let that person in. This will avoid having to disarm the system and then re-arm it
again.
