Arming the System in Away Mode
Away Mode is for arming the system when everyone is leaving the premises. Away Mode arms all sensor‐pro-
tected perimeter doors and windows, interior motion sensors, interior glass break sensors, and any other
sensor‐protected interior doors. The premises must be unoccupied while the system is armed in Away Mode.
Away Mode is typically used for arming the system during the daytime hours in a residential location, and non‐
business hours in a commercial location.
When the system is armed in Away Mode, you cannot move about the protected premises areas without trig-
gering the burglary alarm (IF the system is installed with interior motion detectors). An alarm also occurs if any
sensor‐protected door or window is opened or glass breakage is detected (IF glass break detectors are installed
in your system).
The following procedure describes how to arm the system in Away Mode. For more information about Arming
options, see the sections below the step list.
Arming to Away Mode
Stay Mode normally has an Entry Delay so anyone with a User PIN code can re‐enter without causing an alarm.
1. Close all protected doors and windows before arming.
2. Verify that the Home button on the Control Panel is lit green, indicating that the system is ready to arm.
The Security button and the Arm button on the display will also be green when all of the perimeter
sensors are closed. If the interior sensor open icon is displayed on the status bar, be sure to close or
manually bypass the interior sensors or an alarm will occur.
NOTE: If you want to arm the system quietly without sounding any announcements, press the Mute but-
ton before performing the next steps, OR from the Security screen, press Silent Exit, OR during the Exit
Delay period, press Silent Exit.
3. At the Home screen, press the Security button. If there are any open perimeter door or window sensors,
the Bypass pop-up window appears. Close all the sensors displayed or press Bypass All to force
bypass the displayed sensors. (NOTE: Bypassed sensors do not trigger an alarm. To bypass sensors,
enter a valid User PIN code, unless your Technician has configured the system for Quick Bypass.)
