Quick guide to arming and disarming your system

Before you delve into all the amazing things your Vivint Smart Hub can perform, you’ll need to grasp how to arm and disarm your system. It’s straightforward - just abide by these instructions:

• Press the shield icon on the main screen and slide to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay means you will be inside your home and arms everything besides interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away means you will be gone, and each sensor in the home will engage.
• To disarm, simply slide down the shield icon and type in your PIN.

You’ll notice a warning if something is stopping the system from arming. To illustrate, an open window or door will cue you to take action. Note that you may still arm your home’s security by following the steps above. You will then need to verify you want to ignore the sensor that isn’t ready.
