Quick guide to arming and disarming your security system

Before you get into all the amazing things your Vivint Smart Hub can do, you’ll want to understand how to arm and disarm your system. It’s easy - just adhere to these instructions:

• Touch the shield icon on the main screen and swipe to the right for “Away” and left for “Stay.”
• Stay means you will be in your house and arms all sensors besides interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away indicates you will be gone, and everything in the home will activate.
• To disarm, all you need to do is slide down the shield icon and type in your PIN.

The home screen will post a message if the system isn’t able to arm. For instance, an open window will prompt you to take action. Keep in mind that you are still able to arm your home’s security by following the above steps. You will then have to verify that you wish to ignore the sensor that isn’t engaged.
