The Quick Exit feature allows you to briefly leave your home while your system is armed (for instance to bring a package at your door inside). When you press the Disarm button on your alarm system the diplay will show the pre-programmed exit time (for example, one minute), and it will allow the designated exit door to be opened without triggering the alarm for that time period. The door may only be opened and closed once, if the door is closed behind you when you step outside then you will have to disarm the system upon re-entering. Make sure to leave the designated door open when using this feature. The Quick Exit feature is off by default but it can be turned on by your alarm system installer.
