3. Arming and Disarming the System

Forced Arming AWAY or HOME
Forced arming allows you to arm the system even if the system is "NOT READY". Any open zones will be bypassed for
the duration of arming.
Note: When forced arming is carried out, the buzzer “protests” by emitting a continuous tone during the exit delay until
the last 10 seconds of the delay. You can silence this signal by pressing the arming button again.
If forced arming is enabled and you wish to arm the system when NOT READY is displayed, proceed as shown:
