• Arm while homeyour codeSTAYoryour codeINSTANT

  • STAY arms the outside doors and windows; the inside zones do what your installer set. The entry and exit delays still run.
  • Key in your PIN, then press STAY.
  • INSTANT arms the same way with no entry delay: opening an entry door sets off the alarm at once. Use it when you're staying in and nobody else is coming.
  • To let someone out or in while Stay is on, key in your PIN and STAY again. You get the exit delay, then Stay carries on.

  • Come in by your entry door. The keypad may beep through the entry delay.
  • Key in your PIN before the entry delay runs out, or the alarm goes off.

• Bypass a zoneyour codeBYPASS2-digit zone

  • Each detector or door contact is a zone. Key in your PIN, then press BYPASS.
  • The Bypass bar on the display blinks for 15 seconds. In that time key in the zone number as 2 digits: 0 then 4 for zone 4.
  • Two beeps, and the display shows the zone as bypassed (04:BY). You can key in more zone numbers the same way.
  • Bypasses end when you arm and then disarm. To undo one sooner, open Scan Mode (PIN, ↑, 6), press 6 until that zone shows, then press BYPASS.
  • Your installer decides which zones can be bypassed, and not every PIN is allowed to bypass.
