To Arm:

1. Enter your 1-8 digit PIN code on the keypad.
2. Press the "ARM" button.
3. The unit will emit a confirmation beep, and the indicator light will show the armed status. You will have a short exit delay period before the system is fully armed.

To Disarm:

1. Enter your 1-8 digit PIN code on the keypad.
2. Press the "DISARM" button.
3. The unit will emit a confirmation beep, and the indicator light will show the disarmed status.

6.2 Changing the PIN Code
