Home/Away System Disarming
Disarming: While the system is armed, you can only enter the premises through an entry/exit delay door without causing an alarm. After opening the door, the keypad sounds a prewarn tone to remind you to disarm the system. You must disarm the system before the prewarn tone expires or an alarm on the door will occur.
During the prewarn tone, the keypad displays ENTER CODE:. Enter your code to disarm the system.
Alarm Display: After disarming, the keypad displays any zones that tripped or any communication problems that occurred during the armed period. All burglary zones are then disarmed and any bypassed zones are automatically reset.
Disarmed Message: The keypad displays ALL SYSTEM OFF after the system disarms.
Central Station Report: A report of the system disarming can be transmitted to the central station. This is optional and can be programmed for you at any time.
Easy Exit™ Feature
While the system is armed, you can also just press COMMAND and then the 9 key to restart the exit delays to allow you to exit the premises without disarming the system. After the exit delay time expires, the system rearms automatically. This feature allows you to get the paper, let your pet out, or leave for work without having to disarm and then rearm the system.
