ARMING PERIMETER ONLY

(With Entry Delay ON)

Use this key when you are staying home, but might expect someone to use the entrance door later.

When armed in STAY mode, the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or window is opened, but you may otherwise move freely throughout the premises. Late arrivals can enter through the entrance door without causing an alarm, but they must disarm the system within the entry delay period or an alarm will occur.

Close all protected perimeter windows and doors before arming (see CHECKING FOR OPEN ZONES section). The green READY indicator on the keypad should be lit if the system is ready to be armed.
