Arming the System with no delay (Instant) 
Use “Instant ” with Stay mode when you are staying home and do not expect anyone to use 
the entrance door.  
Use  “Instant ” with Away mode when the premises will be vacant for extended periods of time 
such as vacations, etc.  
When armed with “ Instant”, the control beeps twice, or beeps continuously if exit warning 
has been programmed for your system, and displays the  “Armed Stay Instant ” or “ Armed 
Away Instant ” message. The red ARMED indicator lights and the system announces  “Armed 
Stay Instant –exit now ” or  “Armed Away Instant –exit now ”. 
When armed with  “Instant ”, the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or window is 
opened, including the entrance door. You may leave through the entrance door during the 
exit delay period without causing an alarm, but an alarm will sound as soon as someone 
reenters.

Exit Delay 
Exit delay begins immediately after arming the system, and gives you time to leave through 
the designated exit door without setting off an alarm.  The system display will count down 
the time remaining in the exit delay, if programmed by your installer. If the system has been 
Armed Away, a slow beeping will sound throughout the exit delay period, if programmed by 
your installer. The exit door must be closed before the end of the exit delay. During the last 
10 seconds of the exit delay fast beeps will sound as a warning that the delay time is nearing 
its end. The exit beeps cannot be silenced. 
 Restarting Exit Delay While System Armed 
Ask your installer if this feature is active for your system. If active, you can restart the exit 
delay one time after arming in Stay or Away mode during the exit delay by selecting the 
“ Restart ” key. This will allowing extra time for someone to enter or exit or re-enter the 
property before the system is armed.

Exit Alarms
  
To minimize false alarms sent to the alarm monitoring company, your system may have been 
programmed for this feature. Ask your installer if Exit Alarm is active for your system. 
 
Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior zone is 
faulted when the exit delay ends (e.g., exit door left open), the system sounds an alarm and 
starts the entry delay timer. If you disarm the system before the entry delay ends, the alarm 
sound stops and the message  “Alarm Cancelled is displayed, in the system bar. Additionally, 
Alarm and the faulted zone are displayed with their associated icons in the system/zone 
status area. No message is sent to the alarm monitoring company. To clear the exit alarm 
condition, the open zone must be secured. To clear the display, select the  “Disarm ” icon OR 
depress the  “Off ” key and then enter your security code. 
If you do not disarm the system before the entry delay ends, and an entry/exit door or 
interior zone is still open, the alarm sound continues and an exit alarm message is sent to 
the alarm monitoring company. The message  “Alarm Exit Error is displayed, in the system 
bar. Additionally, Alarm and the faulted zone are displayed with their associated icons in the

system/zone status area. The alarm will continue to sound until the system is disarmed or 
timeout ocurs. To stop the alarm, the system must be disarmed by selecting the  “Disarm ”  
icon OR depressing the  “Off ” key and then entering your security code. The message  “Alarm 
Cancelled is displayed, in the system bar, indicating that the alarm has been cancelled (if 
this feature is enabled by the installer).   “Alarm ” and the faulted zone continue to be 
displayed with their associated icons in the system/zone status area. To clear the display, 
select the  “Disarm ” icon OR depress the  “Off”  key and then enter your security code a second 
time.  An exit alarm also results if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two 
minutes after the end of the exit delay. 
Entry Delay 
Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the designated 
entrance door. You must disarm the system before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm 
will occur. The control beeps during the entry delay period, reminding you to disarm the 
system. There are two entry delays (if programmed). The first is for your primary entrance 
and the second can be used for a secondary entrance, where a longer delay is required to 
walk to the control to disarm the system. You can also arm the system with no entry delay at 
all by selecting the  “Delay ” icon prior to arming the system. This will toggle the system to 
“ Instant ”, which can provide greater security while on the premises or while away for 
extended periods of time. See  ARMING THE SYSTEM section for procedure. See your 
installer for delay times programmed for your  system.

Disarming the System 
Select the “Disarm ” icon or the  “Off ” key to disarm the system and to silence alarm and 
trouble sounds. See the  SUMMARY OF AUDIBLE NOTIFICATION  section for information, 
which will help you to distinguish between fire and burglary alarm sounds. During Entry 
Delay or when an Alarm Condition exists, the system will be disarmed as soon as the correct 
user code is entered on the touchscreen. Selecting the OFF key is not required. The entry 
beeps or alarm sound can be silenced by pressing any key however, it will restart in 10 
seconds if the correct User Code is not entered. The READY indicator will light (if no alarms 
have occurred while armed) and the control will beep once to confirm that the system is 
disarmed. 
 
**IMPORTANT** 
If the LYNX Touch is beeping rapidly upon entering the premises, an alarm has occurred 
during your absence and an intruder may still be on the premises. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY 
and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.

Bypassing Individual Zones 
The Bypass feature can be used when you want to intentionally arm your system with one or 
more zones unprotected. Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause an alarm when 
violated while your system is armed.  All bypasses are removed when an Off sequence 
is performed . Bypasses are also removed if the arming procedure that follows the bypass 
command is not successful.  The system will not allow panic, fire or CO zones to be 
bypassed.
