Stay Arming

To Arm Stay, press and hold the bottom-left button (Shield with Person) until you see both LED lights flash green to indicate the signal was sent, then red to indicate that the panel successfully received the signal, followed by two beeps from the Keyfob. The silent exit countdown will begin at the panel.

  • All perimeter zones, such as all windows and door contacts, will be armed. The interior zones will remain inactive, allowing you to stay on the premises without setting off an alarm.

 

Disarming

To Disarm, press and hold the top-right button (Shield withx”) until you see both LED lights flash green to indicate the signal was sent, then green again to indicate that the panel successfully received the signal, followed by one beep from the Keyfob.

Panic Signaling

  • Note: The Panic button can be programmed as a silent alarm by the Virtual Agent. In this case, when a Panic silent alarm is pressed, there will be no beeps and the alarm siren will not sound.
