Using the AWAY Key

ARMING ALL PROTECTION

(With Entry Delay ON)

Use this key when no one will be staying on the premises.

When armed in AWAY mode, the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or window is opened, or if any movement is detected inside the premises. You may leave through the entrance door during the exit delay period without causing an alarm. You may also re-enter through the entrance door, but 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.
