OPERATION

ARMING/DISARMING THE SYSTEM

You can arm the system three ways:

•Set INSTALL/RUN 1/RUN 2 on the console to RUN 1 or RUN 2 and press ARM on the console.

•Set INSTALL/RUN 1/RUN 2 on the console to RUN 1 or RUN 2 and press ARM AWAY or ARM HOME on the handheld remote control. See “Arm Away/Arm Home” and “Instant/Delay Mode.”

•Set INSTALL/RUN 1/RUN 2 on the console to RUN 1 or RUN 2 and press ARM on the keychain remote control.

The only difference between RUN 1 and RUN 2 is that when the system is set to RUN 2 and not armed, the con- sole sounds a pleasant chime when you open a door or window. When it is set to RUN 1, there are no chimes.

The console beeps once when you arm it. When the system is armed, the RUN 1 and RUN 2 setting have the same effect: opening a door or window with a sensor attached or tripping a motion detector sets off the alarm.

To disarm the system, press DISARM on any remote control. The console beeps twice.

Arm Away/Arm Home

All wireless sensor transmitters and motion detectors arm when you press ARM AWAY on the handheld remote control. If you press ARM HOME, only doors and windows arm. This lets you arm the system at night without acci- dentally tripping the motion detector(s) yourself when you move around the house.

Instant/Delay Mode

The ENTRY switch on the handheld re- mote control lets you arm the system with or without an exit/entry delay.

With ENTRY on the handheld remote set to INSTANT (and DELAY on the sen- sor(s) set to MIN), the system instantly arms and the alarm immediately trips if a wireless sensor transmitter or motion detector reports an intrusion.

With ENTRY on the handheld remote set to DELAY, you have a 60-second exit delay and a 30-second entry delay before the system arms or trips. A warning chime sounds during the de- lay period.
