part.)

B. PROGRAMMING OPT IONAL SENSOR (PIR OR DOOR/WINDOW S E NS OR)

This system has a very unique interfacing with optional sensor, to extend more protection, such as PIR (IR-70)
sensor or Door/Window sensor. (DS-70)
For example, in your garage you can put a PIR f or protection. (A device to detect person's movement in a
protected area.) I f syst em armed, a person walk through the detect area, the siren inside the car w ill a larming
to raise the attention to the owner.
So the same thing applies in door/window sensor, (A device to detect door /window open.) you may put the
sensor to the garage door or w indow. If system armed, a person opens the door or window, the siren will
alarm.
Maximum program 4 different sensor codes.
The programming procedure is the same as above A. PROGRAMMI NG TRANSMITTER of auto channel, The
difference is only upon enter you push the valet switch 9 times. (1 long chirp to confirm enters).
During prog ramming, you will need to act ivate the sensor to let the system program it's code.

C. PROGRAMMING F E ATURES:

There are 2 stages of totally 15 programming features to s elect. (Factory preset all features to "O N" position)

1. Enter:
Turn the ignition 'on' then 'off'. Within 15 seconds push the valet switch 6 times. (A long chirp.) It is on first
stage progr amming features.

2. First st age pr ogramming features:

it' s o n chirp o n/o ff se lec tion. The sir e n w ill c hirp 2 times, L ED flash 2 time s to confir m e nte r this feature.
Select chirp on, turn ignition from 'off' to ‘on’. 1 chirp for confirmation.
Select chirp off, turn ignition from 'on' to ‘off’. 2 chirps for confirmation.
If you want to program transmitter car-jacking when the system is on chirp on/off, push valet switch 4 times
again. (Siren chirp 6 times, LED flash 6 times) The system will add on the previous valet sw itch pushing.
Note: Totally push valet switch 8 times, the siren chirp 8 times, and LED with 8 flashes… pause sequence.
If push the valet switch again, system will return to feature 1. (Siren chirp 1 time, and LED with 1
flash…pause sequence. It's cycling.)

3. Second stage programming features:
Enter: Again push & hold the valet switch for over 2 seconds, with 1 long chirp confirmation.
By using first st age pr ogr amming feat ures method to program second stage's f eat ures.
