Section 3: Turning Your System On

(Arming) and Off (Disarming)

This section describes how to turn your system on and off. Read this section care-

fully.

Tur ning On

Your System

1. Before you turn on your system, make sure that it is Ready. You can tell that the

system is ready when the green (Ready) light is ON. If the green light is not on,

see the Note below.

2. Enter your access code on the keypad. If you have entered the wrong code, the

keypad will sound one long beep - try again to enter the correct code.

When you enter a valid access code:

• The keypad sounds fast beeps.

• The red (Armed) light turns ON.

• The keypad starts to beep once every second. This tells you that the system

is turning on (Audible Exit Delay).

3. If you will be leaving, go out through the entry/exit door. Doing this tells the sys-

tem that you are away, and the system turns on completely.

If you will be staying, do not open the entry/exit door. This tells the system that

you are staying, and the system turns on only the perimeter areas.

NOTE: If the green (Ready) light is not on:

• Close all doors and windows

• Stop motion in all areas with motion detectors

If the yellow (System) light is ON, check for possible trouble conditions (see

Checking Trouble Conditions on page 19), and check that no zones are

turned off unintentionally (see Turning Off Part of Your System (Bypassing

Zones) on page 18).
