USING THE KEYSWITCH
General Your system may be equipped with a keyswitch for use when arming and disarming. A single red light on the keyswitch plate indicates the status of your system as follows:
OFF = Disarmed, Not Ready for Arming SLOW FLASHING = Disarmed, Ready for Arming RAPID FLASHING = Armed STAY or AWAY
Arming To arm in the AWAY mode, turn key to right for 1/2 second.
To arm in the STAY mode, hold key turned to right for more than one second.
The keypads will beep twice (AWAY mode) or 3 times (STAY mode) and the keyswitch light will flash rapidly.
Disarming To disarm the system turn the key to the right and release.
If an alarm has occurred during the armed period, the keyswitch's light will not flash on disarming (thus indicating memory of an alarm). Turning the keyswitch key to the right a second time after disarming can clear the alarm from memory, but it is advisable, instead, to refer to a keypad to diagnose and clear any problem, and to subsequently clear alarm memory. See the previous page for more about alarm memory.
