Quick guide to arming and disarming your security system

Before you get into all the fantastic things your Vivint Smart Hub can perform, you’ll want to grasp how to arm and disarm your security. It’s simple - just adhere to these steps:

• 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 the home and arms all devices besides interior doors and motion sensors.
• Away signifies you will be gone, and everything in the home will arm.
• To disarm, all you need to do is slide the shield icon down and type in your PIN.

The Smart Hub will post a notification if the system isn’t prepared to arm. For example, an open door will cue you to take action. Note that you may still arm your home’s security by using the instructions above. You will then need to verify you want to bypass the sensor in question.
