Section 2: Arming and Disarming Your System
This section describes how to perform the basic functions of your system: arming and dis¬
arming. Read this section carefully.
Getting Ready Before you arm your system, make sure that the system is Ready. You can tell that the sys-
to Arm Your tern is ready when the Ready light is ON. If this is the case, you can arm your system - use
System one °f the arming methods described on pages 7-9.
If the Ready light is ON and the LCD5500Z keypad displays "Secure System or Enter Code",

confirm that no zones are left open unintentionally.
If your system is not ready, do the following:

• Close all doors and windows
• Stop motion in all zones with motion detectors

sages and check that the system is clear of troubles and that no zones are bypassed
unintentionally. See “Identifying Trouble Conditions" on page 17 andJor"Bypassing
Zones" on page 15.
