The auto stay feature is a way for panels to prevent false alarms. If arming locally, the customer must exit through an entry/exit sensor during the exit delay in order to have the panel arm away. Otherwise, it always reverts to arm-stay. This is not the case when arming from an app or keyfob. 

To enable auto stay locally at the 2GIG GC3 panel:

1. Tap System Settings.
2. Enter the installer code.
3. Tap Installer Toolbox.
4. Tap System Configuration.
5. Tap Panel Programming.
6. Scroll to Q14: Auto stay, then tap to select Enabled.
