  • Check the tick (Ready) icon is on; flashing slowly is fine (only the entry/exit door is open). Won't arm? Scroll to read why.
  • Key in your code, then press the Away key (the closed padlock). Three short beeps mean a wrong code: key it in again.
  • If your installer set up quick arming, the Away key on its own does it. On a Slim keypad, press Away first, then your code.
  • The keypad beeps slowly and the padlock icon flashes during the exit time. Leave and close the door.
  • Once armed, the padlock icon stays on (the LightSYS keypad's red light too). Plus and Air also show ARMED.
