entry delay zone without causing an
alarm if the system is disarmed
before the entry delay time expires.
If this key is pressed twice in rapid
succession, the system is armed in a
higher level of security than STAY

NIGHT-STAY and incorporates all
the features of the STAY mode, but
also arms selected interior zones
(ask your installer for further
information).

special message to a Pager. Refer to
the 
Paging Feature section for

delay time sequence is started. This restarting of the exit delay time occurs only once
during each arming session, however; therefore youre permitted only one return
