Before Arming the System
IMPORTANT: Before arming the system, do the following:
✓ Ensure the premises have been vacated. Note that the entry/exit delay provides a specific
period of time to exit the premises before alarms are activated.
✓ Observe the system's status indicators, troubles, and READY status:
• Check status indicators – View icon indicators on keypad displays, or LED
indicators on Slim keypads and remote controls. Also listen to any audible
system status (beeps/squawks, or voice announcements). See Appendix C:
System Indicators, page 85.
