2.
(Optional) If occupants need more time to close protected
doors/windows, tap Silence. This turns the Silent Exit feature
ON.
NOTE:
Consult your installer to determine how the
Exit Delay feature is configured on your system (45-
120 seconds). For compliance with ANSI/SIA CP-
01-2010, the Exit Delay feature must be configured
to 45 seconds.
NOTE:
If you want to cancel the arming action
before the countdown expires, tap Disarm. Then
enter an active, four-digit user code.
NOTE:
Consult your installer to determine in the
Auto Stay feature is enabled on your system. If you
arm the system in Away Mode and no one exits
through an Exit Delay door before the countdown
expires, the system will automatically arm itself in
Stay Mode.
During the Exit Delay countdown, the system emits a series of beeps that
become faster during the last 10 seconds. Once the countdown expires,
occupants will not be able to enter or exit through protected doors and
windows without triggering the burglary alarm.
Force Bypassing
When a protected door or window is open, the system places the sensor
on its Sensors Not Ready list. In order to arm the system, you must
either close the sensor or place it on the system's Bypassed Sensors list.
Bypassed Sensors are ones that you intentionally decide to leave
unprotected in order to avoid setting off a false alarm. This method of
bypassing a sensor is called Force Bypassing. To learn how to manually
bypass a sensor, see "Manually Bypassing a Sensor" on page 67.
Opening a Sensor When the System is Disarmed
When a protected door or window is opened while the system is disarmed,
the GC3 Panel responds as follows:
The system status message on the touchscreen reads System
Not Ready to Arm.
The Sensors Not Ready list and Bypass All button appears.
The name of the protected zone appears on the Sensors Not
Ready list.
The number of open sensors appears in the top-right corner of
the list.
The system uses the voice descriptor assigned to the sensor to
announce that the protected zone is open.

Examples of scenarios where you may want to bypass a sensor
include:
When you are going out and want to arm your system in Away
Mode, but would like to allow your pet to move freely around the
living room, which is protected by a motion sensor. In this
situation, you would add the living room motion sensor to the
system's Bypassed Sensors list.
When you are going to bed at night and want to arm the system in
Stay Mode, and want to be able to open or close your master
bedroom window during the night. In this situation, you would
add the bedroom window sensor to the system's Bypassed
Sensors list.
WARNING!!
A bypassed burglary protection sensor does
NOT provide security protection when the system is armed.
See
"Bypassing Open Sensors" on page 1
.
NOTE:
Residential alarm systems do not permit you to
bypass sensors installed in fire, carbon monoxide, or
emergency zones.
NOTE:
In order to bypass a sensor, you must know the
Master User Code.
Force Bypassing a Sensor
If you want to arm the system and ignore the open sensor, you must
bypass the sensor. This is called "force" bypassing a sensor.
To force bypass the sensor:
