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 its 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 (FA168CPS).
