Steps to Arm the System

Arming the system in any mode is performed in the same way.
NOTE: Close all perimeter windows and doors before arming and make sure
the system is "Ready to Arm." Or, bypass zones you want left open to make
the system Ready to Arm.
1. From the "Home" screen, select SECURITY.
2. Choose the desired arming mode. You may be prompted to enter your user
code. Note: In PC or Mobile View, if Quick Arming is enabled in the panel
programming by the installer, clicking arm Away/Night/Stay will not be
prompted to enter a user code.
NOTES
Use when no one is staying on the premises. When armed
in AWAY mode, the system sounds an alarm if a protected
door or window is opened, or if any movement is detected
inside the premises.
IMPORTANT: On certain VISTA-Turbo systems, "Away
Auto Stay" mode is shown as "Away" mode (with all zones
monitored). However, some interior zones may not be
armed. See your Installer.
Use when you are staying home, but might expect someone
to use the entrance door later.
When armed in STAY mode, the system sounds an alarm
if a protected door or window is opened, but you may
otherwise move freely throughout the premises.
Use when you are staying home and do not expect anyone
to use the entrance door. Your installer may have
configured NIGHT Mode differently; have the installer
describe the actual settings of this mode.
Use to arm more than one partition, if you are authorized
to do so. Refer to the Arming Multiple partitions section
for details.
This mode emulates a standard alpha keypad. If desired,
you can use this mode to control the security system using
standard keypad commands. Refer to the Console
Emulation Mode section for details.
Use to display the zones programmed in your system.
From this menu you can view faulted zones (zones not
ready to arm) and bypass zones. Refer to the How to
Bypass Zones section for details.
