Arming the System

Stay Mode: Arms Perimeter Only, Entry Delay On

•Used when you want to arm the system with persons staying inside (or if you have pets that are moving throughout the premises).

•The perimeter sensors are armed, but interior sensors are left disarmed.

•Exit delay begins (you can leave through the entry/exit door, if desired).

•An alarm sounds if any protected window or non-entry/exit door is opened.

•You may otherwise move freely within the premises.

•Persons entering later can enter through an entry/exit door, but they must disarm the system within the entry delay period to avoid sounding an alarm.

Night-Stay Mode: Arms Perimeter Only, Plus Selected Zones

•Use Night-Stay mode to provide increased security while staying inside.

•Arms same as Stay mode, but also arms pre-selected interior sensors (programmed by your installer), while other interior sensors are left disarmed.

•Persons entering later can use entry/exit doors but they must disarm the system and must not violate any of the programmed interior zones to avoid sounding an alarm.

•IMPORTANT: When Night-Stay mode is on, the selected interior zones are armed and cause an alarm if anyone enters those areas (e.g., waking in the middle of the night). To avoid sounding an alarm, you must disarm the system before any activity takes place in those interior zones.

Instant Mode: Arms Perimeter Only, Entry Delay Off

•Used when staying inside and do not expect anyone to use an entry/exit door.

•Arms same as Stay mode.

•An alarm sounds immediately if any protected perimeter window or any door is opened, including entry/exit doors.

•IMPORTANT: Arming in this mode greatly increases the chance of false alarms. Use extreme care in selecting this mode of arming.

Away Mode: Arms Entire System, Entry Delay On

•Used when nobody will be staying inside (including pets).

•The entire system (interior and perimeter) is armed.

•Exit delay begins letting you leave through the entry/exit door.

•An alarm sounds if a protected window or any door is opened, or if any movement is detected inside your premises.

•You can reenter through an entry/exit door, but you must disarm the system within the entry delay period to avoid sounding an alarm.

Maximum Mode: Arms Entire System, Entry Delay Off

•Used when leaving the premises for extended periods (e.g., vacation).

•Arms same as Away mode, but entry delay is off.

•An alarm sounds same as Away mode, and sounds upon opening entry/exit doors.
