How your System Operates
Your system has been programmed to operate in one of three
modes: Area Arming, All/Perimeter, or Home/Sleep/Away.
• Area Arming - Your burglary protection is divided into up to four
areas. Each area can have a custom name, be turned on or off
independently of other areas, and limit access to only those users
with the proper authority.
• All/Perimeter - Your burglary protection is divided into two areas:
Interior and Perimeter. You can turn on the just the Perimeter
protection while inside for security or turn on both as you leave.
• Home/Sleep/Away - Your burglary protection is divided into three
areas: Interior, Perimeter, and Bedrooms. You can turn on the
Perimeter, Perimeter and Interior, or all three areas separately.
Regardless of which mode has been programmed, much of the
operationissimilar.Throughoutthisguide,anydifferencesbetween
the systems are noted for your convenience.
