• Arm while homeSTAYyour codeorINSTANTSTAYyour code

  • Stay arms the outside doors and windows but leaves the inside zones off, so you can move around inside.
  • When the system is ready, press STAY, then your code. The ARM light comes on, plus STAY on an LED keypad; an LCD shows ON: STAY.
  • INSTANT and STAY in either order, then your code, also drops the entry delay (LCD: ON:STAY INSTANT).
