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.
However, the 4-digit security code must always be used to disarm 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/PS Series only).
