Arming the System (cont’d)
Single Button Arming
The “A”, “B”, “C”, and/or “D” keys on your keypad may have been programmed for
single-button arming. Note that while it is not necessary to use a security code for
arming (by using the Quick Arm method described previously), 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 user 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.
