Arming the System

Single Button Arming

The “A”, “B”, “C”, and/or “D” keys on your keypad may have been programmed for

single-button arming. Note that while it will not be necessary to use a security code

for arming, a security code must always be used to disarm the system.

If Single-Button Arming is programmed:

• A function key has been assigned to a specific type of arming: STAY mode,

Night-STAY mode, AWAY mode, or STEP-ARMING (see Step-Arming

paragraph).

• You DO NOT need to enter your security code before pressing the function key

(but you always need your security code to DISARM the system).

Before arming, close all perimeter doors and windows.

1. Press and hold the assigned function key for 2

seconds (no code is required). Function keys are

shown below.

Alpha Display:

READY TO ARM

Fixed-Word Display: READY

2. The keypad begins beeping and displays the armed

message. The red ARMED indicator also lights.

Alpha Display:

ARMED***AWAY***

YOU MAY EXIT NOW

Fixed-Word Display: AWAY

Step Arming Feature

Single-Button “Step” arming may have been programmed into one of the lettered keys

(A, B, C, or D). Check with your installer to see if this has been done in your system.

If Step-Arming is programmed:

• The assigned key provides a choice of three levels of security.

• The selected key can be pressed once, twice, or three times, increasing the level

of security with each press, as follows
