Arming Your System Silently
Use the Silent Arming feature to arm your system without disturbing people throughout the
house with arming status beeps. There are two methods for implementing Silent Arming:
• Silent on Demand (User presses
5 before arming.)
• Arming Always Silent (Silent Arming feature on).
Regardless of the method employed, when Silent Arming is in effect, no Exit beeps sound.
Note
Protest beeps will always
sound when bypassing a
sensor.
Silent Arming on Demand
Pressing 5 before arming silences arming status beeps from touchpads and interior sirens.
¾
To use Silent Arming on demand:
1. From any touchpad, press 5.
2. Within 4 seconds enter:
2 + Code or 3 + Code.
Arming Always Silent
Note
Arming Always Silent may
have been disabled by your
installer.
Turning this feature on in the programming menu means that the status beeps that come from
touchpads and interior speakers while arming will always be silent. You will not have to enter
5 before arming, as with Silent Arming on Demand.
See Appendix C, “Programming Your System” for more detailed information on setting this fea-
ture.
