Use this key when the premises will be vacant for extended periods of time such as vacations,
etc., or when no one will be moving through protected interior areas.
When armed in MAXIMUM mode, the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or window
is opened, or if any movement is detected inside the premises. You may leave through the
entrance door during the exit delay period without causing an alarm, but an alarm will be
sounded as soon as someone re-enters.
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.
