Using the Security menu

Whatever security system your home uses, Control4 gives you an easy-to-use
interface for arming, disarming, and controlling it. You can send a panic alert,
view the history of all logged security events, and even directly control security
sensors.

Accessing the Security menu

To access the Security menu:

1 On a Navigator’s home screen, select Security, then Security System.

The Security menu opens.

Arming your system

To arm your system:

1 Select the green Press to ARM button in the middle of the screen.

2 In the Arming Mode list, select Home or Away. The button changes to

red, and you are given a countdown to exit the building before the alarm
system is armed.

Tip: To change the length of time delay, or to require a PIN code be
entered for arming, ask your Control4 Dealer.

3 To cancel the countdown timer and disarm the system, select the Cancel

button.
