Quick guide to arming and disarming your security system

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

• Touch the shield icon on the main screen and swipe to the left for “Stay” and right for “Away.”
• Stay indicates you will remain in your house and arms all sensors excluding interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away indicates you will be leaving, and all sensors in the home will engage.
• To disarm, just slide the shield icon down and input your PIN.

The home screen will show a notification if the system isn’t ready to arm. To illustrate, an open window will cue you to act. Keep in mind that you can still arm the security system by adhering to the steps above. You will then have to verify that you wish to bypass the sensor in question.
