Security light on instrument panel confusion

Do I have an issue with my Security light (lock symbol in instrument panel cluster)?

1. When I exit vehicle and lock doors using FOB
it locks the doors making audible sound
and Security light comes and stays ON.

2. If I click the lock again
it makes audible lock sound again
and Security light starts blinking non stop every couple of seconds.

3. If when I exit behicle I lock the door manually
the Security light does Not come ON.

I do not remember the Security light behaving like this even after I replaced the battery.

There is a link to a digital Owner Manual in my sig. The light flashes when armed, it is armed when you lock all doors with fob.

My re-collection is that the Security light did not use to come ON either when I pressed the FOB lock once or twice.

Could I just be mistaken about that? Is the light behaving as it was designed?

Thank you. I did read those pages but was not sure of what i was reading. Glad it is okay and don't have to use manual lock.

Your next question will be; how come the horn honks everytime I lock the door with the fob and unlock it with the key?
