STAY key
Use this key when you are staying home, but might expect someone to use the entrance door
later.
When armed in STAY mode , the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or window is
opened, but you may otherwise move freely throughout the premises. Late arrivals can enter
through the entrance door without causing an alarm, but they must disarm the system within the
entry delay period or an alarm will occur.
Close all protected perimeter windows and doors before arming (see CHECKING FOR
OPEN ZONES section). The green READY indicator on the keypad should be lit if the system
is ready to be armed.

The keypad will beep three times and will display the armed
STAY message. The red ARMED indicator also lights.
NOTE: If you wish to open the entry/exit door to let someone in after arming STAY, you can
re-start the
exit delay at any time (if programmed) – simply press the [ ✱ ] key, and
then let that person in. This will avoid having to disarm the system and then re-arm it
again.
