• Arm (away)your code

  • Key in your code, or press the fast arming key (a person leaving a crossed-out house) unless your installer has turned it off.
  • The system beeps once and the exit delay starts. The ARMED light flashes (a padlock on a JA-63F): leave before the delay ends.
  • Four beeps? The ALARM light (a warning triangle on a JA-63F) and a zone number: that zone isn't ready, say a door open. b: detectors are bypassed.
  • On an RC-4x remote, press the closed-padlock button.
  • A battery-powered JA-60F or JA-63F keypad goes dark 10 seconds after the last key press.

  • Disarm with your code or a remote button, as usual.
