Honeywell Lyric - Arming and Disarming the System

13
Arming the System
The Home button beneath the screen lights green when the system is ready to be armed. If the
button is blinking green, the system is not ready to arm.
Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows, and other protection zones should be
closed or bypassed (see
Bypassing Protection Zones).
To change the volume of countdown sounds and security status voice announcements, see
System Settings.
NOTE When a security code is required, a valid code must be entered within 10 seconds of
pressing an Arm button. If an invalid code is entered, or more than 10 seconds elapses,
the Security menu returns and the system is not armed.
Arming states include
Arm Away For times when no one is home; protects all perimeter and interior zones.
Arm Stay For times when the house is occupied; protects only perimeter zones.
Arm Custom Arms the system with pre-selected zones bypassed.
Bypass This feature allows you to arm the system while intentionally leaving
selected zones unprotected.
Arm Night For times when the house is occupied; protects perimeter zones and
interior motion sensors if used. Other interior zones are unprotected.
Enabled by your installer and only used with interior motion sensors.
Instant For times when no one is expected to use the Entry/Exit zone doors.
Entry Delay is eliminated
. When the system is armed, an alarm occurs
immediately
if an exterior door is opened.
When arming in Away, Stay, or Night (if enabled) modes, Instant mode can be
set from the Security screen (shown below). When using
Arm Custom
, use the
Entry Delay button on the Arm Custom menu to set Instant mode.
Quick Arm
Press to arm the system in any mode without entering a user code, if programmed.
NOTE: A user code is always needed to disarm the system.
Auto Stay If you arm the system in the “AWAY” mode but no one exits, the alarm system
automatically changes to the “STAY” mode. This helps to prevent unwanted
alarms when someone remains on the premises. Disarm the system and Arm
Away again when you are ready to leave. Enabled by your installer.
