• Arm (away)your codeAwayOpen

  • At the keypad on the door you're leaving by, key in your code. It beeps after each number, then 3 times when the code is right.
  • Press Away. One beep from the Central Controller means everything is secure.
  • Four beeps mean something isn't secure, such as an open door or window: check the Central Controller.
  • Press Open, go out and close the door. The system arms itself in about 40 seconds.
  • Anything you didn't fix stays unprotected while the system is armed.

  • Home arms the perimeter sensors, usually on windows and outside doors. Inside sensors such as motion detectors stay off.
  • Key in your code (three beeps), then press Home. The Central Controller beeps once.
  • Four beeps instead mean a sensor isn't secure, for example an open door or window.
