  • The READY light must be on, or SYSTEM READY on an LCD keypad. An open door or window stops you arming.
  • Key in your user code. The ARMED light comes on; an LCD shows ON:AWAY and Exit Now.
  • Leave by your exit/entry door before the exit delay ends.
  • Your code is 4 digits, or 7 if your installer chose that: your 3-digit user number, then your 4 digits.
  • If your installer turned on quick arming, [#][1] arms Away with no code. You still need your code to disarm.
