• Touch the shield icon on the main screen and slide to the right for “Away” and left for “Stay.”
• Stay signifies you will still be present in the home and arms all sensors excluding interior doors and motion detectors.
• Away signifies you will be away, and all sensors in the home will engage.
• To disarm, simply slide the shield icon down and enter your PIN.
