ARMING THE SYSTEM
You can arm the system only when the system status message indicates that it is in the
System Ready to Arm or
System Ready to Arm (BYPASS)
state .
IMPORTANT:
If any sensors are open (for example, a perimeter door or window is ajar) the system will be
placed into the
System Not Ready to Arm
state and reveals the unprotected zone in
Sensors Not Ready
list on
the touchscreen . Before you can arm the system, you must either close the open sensor(s) or bypass the open
sensor(s) . See
, pg . 23 .
TIP:
If you have purchased a keyfob (or multiple fobs) to control the 2GIG EDGE Security & Smart Home
System, you can also arm the system using your keyfob . See
Arming the System Using a Keyfob
, pg . 19 .
Arm the System (Stay Mode)
Stay Mode arms the system except interior sensors .
Use this mode when occupants will be staying on
the premises . In residential installations, Stay Mode
is frequently used during the evening hours when
occupants do not intend to enter or exit the dwelling .
This lets you move about without triggering the burglary
alarm . Because all the interior burglary protection is OFF,
an alarm would only be triggered if a sensor-protected
perimeter door or window is opened . To learn how to arm
the system in Away Mode, see
Arm the System (Away
Mode)
, next column .
NOTE:
Consult your installer to determine if
your system is configured with the
Quick Arming
feature . When enabled, the
Quick Arming
feature
allows anyone to arm the system without entering
a user code . When disabled, you must enter an
active user code to arm the system .
To arm the system in Stay Mode:
1 .
Ensure that all perimeter doors and windows are
closed . The system status message should read
System Ready to Arm
. If the status messages
reads
System Not Ready to Arm
and the
Sensors Not Ready
list appears, a protected
door or window is open. You must first close
that door/window or place it on the
Bypassed
Sensors
list . See
, pg . 23 .

At the Home screen, tap
ARM STAY
.
3 .
(Optional) At the Enter Your Code to Arm the
System screen, enter an active user code . If the
Quick Arming feature is enabled, you will skip this
step and not be prompted for a user code .
A countdown timer appears and the system
announces “Arming Stay” . The countdown gives
occupants time to enter or exit the premises
through a protected door .
4 .
(Optional) To silence the countdown beeps and
announcements, tap
Silence
. This turns the
Silent Exit
feature ON . Activating
Silent Exit
will
extend the exit delay time .
Once the countdown expires, occupants will not be able
to enter or exit through protected doors and windows
without triggering the burglary alarm or an entry delay .
