General
Your system may be equipped with a keyswitch for use when arming and disarming.
A single red light on the keyswitch plate indicates the status of your system as
follows:
OFF = Disarmed, Not Ready for Arming
SLOW FLASHING = Disarmed, Ready for Arming
RAPID FLASHING = Armed STAY or AWAY
Arming
To arm in the AWAY mode, turn key to right for 1/2 second.
To arm in the STAY mode, hold key turned to right for more than one second.
The keypads will beep twice (AWAY mode) or 3 times (STAY mode) and the
keyswitch light will flash rapidly.
Disarming
To disarm the system, turn the key to the right and release.
If an alarm has occurred during the armed period, the keyswitch's light will not flash
on disarming (thus indicating memory of an alarm). With some controls, turning the
keyswitch key to the right a second time after disarming can clear the alarm from
memory, but it is advisable, instead, to refer to a keypad to diagnose and clear any
problem, and to subsequently clear alarm memory.
