• Arm (away)your codeon

  • The panel calls this ON mode. Each detector or door contact is a section, with its own light on the keypad.
  • Every section light must be out (or that section isolated), and the Power light on and not flashing.
  • Key in your 4-digit user code, then press on.
  • The ON light flashes and the beeper warns while the exit time runs. Leave by your exit/entry door.
  • Door not shut when the exit time ends? The siren sounds for 2 seconds; then disarm before the entry time runs out.
