The “A”, “B”, “C”, and/or “D” keys on your keypad may have been programmed for single-
button arming. Note that while it will not be necessary to use a security code for arming, a
security code must always be used when manually disarming the system.
If Single-Button Arming is programmed:
• A function key has been assigned to a specific type of arming: STAY mode, Night-STAY
mode, AWAY mode, or STEP-ARMING (see Step-Arming paragraph).
• You DO NOT need to enter your security code before pressing the function key
(but you always need your security code to DISARM the system).
Before arming, close all perimeter doors and windows.
1. Press and hold the assigned function key for 2
seconds (no code is required). Function keys are
shown below.

security with each press, as follows
