Arming to Stay Mode
Use Stay Mode to arm the system when anyone is at
home. Stay Mode normally has an Entry Delay so a user
with a user code can re-enter without causing an alarm.
1
Close all protected perimeter doors and windows
before arming.
2
Verify that the Home
illuminates BLUE, indicating that the system is ready
to arm. The Security and Arm buttons on the display
are GREEN when all sensors are closed.
NOTE: If you want to arm the system quietly without
sounding any announcements, tap
performing these steps:
● At Ready to Arm screen, check the box adjacent to
the Silent Exit option.
Or
● During Exit Delay tap Silence.
3
At the Security or Menu screen, tap Arm.
NOTE: If any perimeter door or window sensors
are open, the Bypass screen appears. Close all the
sensors displayed, or tap Bypass All to force bypass
the displayed sensors.
NOTE: Bypassed sensors do not trigger an alarm. To
bypass sensors, enter a user code unless the installer
has set the system for Quick Bypass.

On the Ready to Arm screen, check the Entry Delay
box when arming the system in Stay mode.
If no one is expected to re-enter, the system can be
armed without an Entry Delay. All perimeter doors will
trigger the alarm instantly. To arm with instant alarms
for all exit/ entry perimeter doors, un-check the box
adjacent to the Entry Delay option.

NOTE: To arm the system, you may need to enter a
user code if your installer has turned off the system's
Quick Arming feature.

The system will arm and shows the Exit Delay
counting down. When the Exit Delay expires, the
system is fully armed in the Stay mode.
AWAY MODE
Away mode is for arming the system when everyone
is leaving the premises. Away mode arms all sensor-
protected perimeter doors and windows, interior motion
sensors, interior glass break sensors and any other
sensor-protected interior doors. The premises must be
unoccupied while the system is armed. Away mode is
typically used for arming the system during the daytime
hours in a residential location, and non-business hours in
a commercial location.
When the system is armed in Away mode, you cannot
move about the premises without triggering the burglary
alarm (if the system is installed with interior motion
detectors). An alarm also occurs if any sensor-protected
door or window is opened or glass breakage is detected (if
glass breakage detectors are installed in your system).
Exit and Entry Delays in Away Mode
Certain sensors, such as a door, can be setup by your
installer to have a delay before triggering an alarm. This
provides a way for an authorized person to exit and re-
enter the premises without triggering an alarm.
● Exit Delay allows time to leave after arming the
system.
● Entry Delay allows time to enter and disarm the
system before an alarm is triggered.
When arming the system in Away mode, an Entry Delay
check box is shown on the Arming screen. By default, this
option is checked, so the programmed delay doors allow
time for disarming the system after the door is opened. If
you clear the Entry Delay box, the delayed alarm trigger is
removed from all sensor-protected doors programmed for
delay. Those entrances instantly trigger an alarm if they
are opened in Away mode.
NOTE:
With the Entry Delay disabled,
you must remotely disarm the
system with a wireless key fob
before entering.
