Arming/disarming
Arming a sensor makes it active and allows the panel to generate an alarm when a
door or window is opened or when an unauthorized person enters a specific area.
Disarming makes the sensor inactive in the system. The current arming level is shown
on the screen (see Table 4 on page 5) and changes in arming level are announced on
the speaker.

Arming errors

If you select an arming option on the Arm screen, and there is an arming problem, an
arming error message screen will appear, indicating what the problem is and how to
correct it. For example, you might see a message that indicates that you need to
close the front door.
