Home/Away System Arming
Area Assignment: Your security system is divided into two or three separate areas. Motion detectors, inside doors, and other interior devices are assigned to an Interior and possibly Bedroom area while windows and exterior doors, are assigned to a Perimeter area.
Arming the system: When arming a Home/Away system, the keypad displays HOME AWAY or HOME SLEEP AWAY. If you select AWAY, you arm all areas of the system. You will want to arm all areas when leaving with nobody staying inside. Selecting HOME arms only the Perimeter of the system. Perimeter arming is for when you are staying inside but want the comfort of knowing the exterior doors and windows are armed. Selecting SLEEP arms the Perimeter and Interior devices but leaves devices near bedrooms and other nighttime areas off.
System Ready/System Not Ready Keypad Displays
When all zones in the system are in a normal condition and can be armed without bypassing, the keypad displays SYSTEM READY. If there are one or more zones that are not in a normal condition, the keypad displays SYSTEM NOT READY. Pressing any top row Select key during this display shows the bad zone name.
