An alarm sounds immediately if anyone opens an entry/exit door.

If you wish to open the entry/exit door to let someone in after arming INSTANT, you can re-start the exit delay at any time – simply press the [✱] key , and then let that person in. This will avoid having to disarm the system and then re-arm it again.

Note: When you first arm the system in the INSTANT mode, “You may exit now” will be displayed on an Alpha keypad during the programmed exit delay. This delay is in effect in the system even when arming INSTANT. When the exit delay period ends, “You may exit now” disappears and the system is then fully armed in the INSTANT mode.
