Your system has preset time delays, known as exit delay and entry delay.  
 
	


Exit delay gives you time to leave through the designated exit door without setting 
off an alarm. Exit delay begins immediately after arming your system in any arming 
mode and Alpha Display keypads display the message “You May Exit Now.” When 
“You may exit now” disappears, the system is fully armed. If programmed, a slow 
beeping will sound during the exit delay period until the last...

Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior 
zone is faulted when the exit delay ends (e.g., exit door left open), the system sounds 
an alarm and starts the entry delay timer. If you disarm the system before the entry 
delay ends, the alarm sound stops and the message CANCELED ALARM or CA is 
displayed on the keypad, along with a zone number indicating the faulted zone. No 
message is sent to the Central...

Night-STAY mode, AWAY mode, or STEP-ARMING (see Step-Arming

Use this key when you want to arm your system with one or more zones intentionally 
unprotected.  
 
Vent Zones: Your system may have certain windows set as “vent” zones, which are 
automatically bypassed if left open when arming the system (you do not need to 
manually bypass them). However, if a vent zone window is closed after arming, it 
becomes protected and will cause an alarm if opened again while the system is armed.
