SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Your system provides four modes of burglary protection: STAY, AWAY, INSTANT and MAXIMUM, and allows you to BYPASS selected zones while leaving the rest of the system armed. You must turn on or "arm" the burglary protection portion of your system before it will sense burglary alarms. The system also provides a CHIME mode, for alerting users to the opening of protected doors and windows while the system is disarmed. Refer to the other sections of this manual for procedures for using these features.

The following table lists the four different arming modes and the results of each.

Arming		Features For Each Arming Mode
Mode	Exit Delay	Entry Delay	Perimeter Armed	Interior Armed
AWAY	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
STAY	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
INSTANT	Yes	No	Yes	No
MAXIMUM	Yes	No	Yes	Yes

At the time of installation, you were assigned a personal four-digit security code, known only to you. You must enter the security code when arming and disarming the system, and when performing other system functions. As an additional safety feature, other users who do not have a need to know your code can be assigned different security codes. Refer to the SECURITY CODES section for procedures on adding security codes to the system.

The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always active and will sound an alarm if a fire condition is detected. Refer to the FIRE ALARM SYSTEM section for important information concerning fire protection, smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes from the premises.
