Arming Ding: In addition to the keypad beeps, the external sounder emits a short “ding” sound after arming, if programmed to do so. The ding
confirms that the system is armed, and may occur immediately after the command or be delayed (until arm/disarm report is sent or exit delay expires).
Ask your installer about how this feature is set for your system.
Quick Arming
If "Quick Arming" was programmed by the installer, the
[#]
key can be pressed in place of the security code
when arming the system in any of the arming modes (except Night-Stay). However, the security code
must always be used when manually disarming the system.
Function Key Arming
For any arming command, a function key may have also been programmed for your system. If so, you can
press and hold the appropriate function key for 2 seconds to arm the system. See your installer for the
designated functions (see
Single Button Arming
section).
Refer to the
Accessing Other Partitions
section for information on multi-partition arming (VISTA-20P
Series only).
