Blue by ADT provides a variety of options for arming and disarming your system.
There are 3 different arming modes to meet your needs and one disarm mode:
ARM-STAY: Use this mode for securing your house while you are home. ARM-STAY will provide you with an Exit Delay and an Entry Delay and is designed to ignore motion sensors, and other specific sensors not set for Stay mode. During the Exit Delay, the beep will get faster during the last 10 seconds of arming.
ARM-AWAY: Use ARM-AWAY when no one is at home. Your system will provide an Exit Delay and an Entry Delay. During the Exit Delay, the beep will increase during the last 10 seconds of arming.
INSTANT ARMING: Use this mode when you are in for the night and you do not expect anyone to enter or exit your home. Your system will not provide an Exit Delay or Entry Delay. This mode will also ignore specific sensors not set for Stay mode (for example Motion Sensors as typically only used in Away mode).
DISARM: Use this whenever you want to cancel any alarm you’ve caused. NOTE: The Exit and Entry delays are designed to give you enough time to leave or enter your home without setting off a false alarm.
Tip: Make sure all Windows and Doors are closed before arming the system. If a sensor is open when you are trying to arm the system, you may be prompted to bypass the sensor. You can either close the door or window and try to arm again or bypass the sensor and it will not be monitored until the next time the system is armed.
