1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close andlock alldoors, hood, and trunk.
2. Press and release the ARMING button on thekeychain transmitter. The siren will
"chirp" once, the vehicle's parking lights will flash once, the doors will lock
(optional), and the dash mounted L.E.D. will begin to slowly flash.
WARNING ! Excessive pressure on the transmitter button will damage the
internal components on the circuit board. All that is required is a light push to the
button.
NOTE: If the siren "chirped" three times when ARMING, then one of the entry
points (hood ,trunk, doors)has been left opened. Closing theHood, trunk, or door
will correct the problem, and you DO NOT have to disarm the system to make the
correction.
ARMING THE SYSTEM (CHANNEL 1) : PASSIVE
ARMING THE SYSTEM (CHANNEL 1): ACTIVE
1. Turnoff theengine, exitthe vehicle,and closeand lockall doors,hood, andtrunk.
2. The dash mounted L.E.D. will begin flashing rapidly, indicating that the system
is automatically (passive) arming. As an added convenience, the automatic
passive arming will not begin until all doors and trunk lid are closed, allowing
passengers to exit the vehicle at their convenience.
3. In 30 seconds, you will heara single,short "chirp" from the siren, and thevehicle's
parking lamps will flash one time, indicating the system is ARMED. At this time,
the dash mounted L.E.D. will begin to flash slowly, providing a visual indication
that the system is fully ARMED.
3a. If the optional door lock interface has been installed, the doors WILL NOT
automatically lock when the 30 second arming time expires.
4. If you wish to ARM the system immediately, simply press and release the button
on the keychain transmitter. The siren will "chirp" once, the doors will lock
(optional), and the dash mounted L.E.D. will begin to slowly flash.
PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED:
1. Opening any door, hood, or trunk will cause the alarm to immediately sound. The
siren will continue to sound for 30 seconds, then stop and automatically re-arm
the vehicle. If the potential thief left a door opened, the siren will sound for six
30 second cycles, then re-arm and ignore the opened door.
2. Whenever the system is armed,the Reddash mountedL.E.D. indicator will slowly
flash. This serves as a visual deterrent to the potential thief. The L.E.D. is a very
low current bulb, and will not cause the vehicle’s battery to drain, even when left
unattended for extended periods.
3. If the starter cut relay (optional) is installed, whenever the system is armed, the
vehicle’s starter will be bypassed. If a thief should choose to ignore the siren, the
vehicle can not be started.
4. Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle's parking lights will flash for the
30 second alarm cycle, attracting added visual attention to the vehicle.

you from opening a door within 30 seconds. Since the system is programmed
for passive arming, it will begin to re-arm until a door is opened. Opening the
door will suspend the passive arming cycle.
INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS:
DISARMING THE SYSTEM (CHANNEL 1):
The system willinform youif an intrusion attempt hasoccurred while you were away
from the vehicle. If an intrusion attempt has occurred, the siren will “chirp” 4 times
when disarming the system. Enter the vehicle and observe the dash mounted
L.E.D. for further information.
1. If the L.E.D. is flashing one time...pause... one time...etc., then an intrusion
attempt was made to a light activated entry point.
2. If the L.E.D. is flashing two times...pause...two times...etc., then an intrusion
attempt was made to the hood, trunk, or any optional sensors that were added
to the vehicle.
3. If the L.E.D. is flashing three times...pause...three times...etc., then an
intrusion attempt was made through one of the vehicles doors.
These intrusion warning indicatorsare stored in the system’s memory, and will only
be erased from memory when the ignition key is turned on.
VALET / SYSTEM OVERRIDE SWITCH:
The “Valet”switch allows you to temporarily bypass all alarm functions, eliminating
the need to hand your transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics.
When the system is in the valet mode, all alarm functions are bypassed, however,
the remote panic feature and remote door locks (optional) will remain operational.
To use the valet mode;
1. Enter the vehicle and turn the ignition key to the “on” position.
2. Move the valet toggle switch to the “on” position. The dash mounted L.E.D. will
turn on solid, and remain on as long as the system is in the valet mode.
3. To return tonormal operation, move the valet switch to the “off” position any time
the ignition is on.
In the event you lose your transmitter,or ifthe transmitterfails to disarm the system,
the valet switch can be used as a system override switch. Open the car door (the
alarm WILL sound). Turn the ignition key on, and move the valet switch to the “on”
position. The alarm will stop sounding, and the vehicle can now be started.
NOTE: Always remember to move the Valet Switch back to the ”off” position. This
will ensure that the vehicle remains protected at all times.

ELIMINATING THE ARM / DISARM CHIRPS:

and off using the valet toggle switch. To do this...
1. The valet switch must be in "off" position.
2. Turn the ignition key on, and then off.
3. Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition key off, move the valet toggle switch
to the on-off-on-off-on-then off position.
4a. If,before proceeding with step 1, the chirps were on, then you will hear 2 chirps
to indicate that the chirps have been turned off.
4b. If, before proceeding with step 1, the chirps were off, then you will hear 1 chirp
to indicate that the chirps have been turned on.
5. Whenever power to the system is disconnected (for repair or service of the
vehicle), the chirps will beactive when power is re-connected. To turn the chirps
off, simply execute 1-3 above.
Note: Whenever the chrips are by-passed, the 3 chirp defect and 4 chirp intrusion
indicator will always operate. This feature will always warn you if there is a
defective sensor during the arming sequence or if the vehicle had been tampered
with in your absence, even if the normal arming and disarming chirps have been
turn off.

for instant activation of the alarm in emergency situations. To use the remote
panic switch;

The alarm will immediately sound.
2. To stop the alarm, press and release the button on the key chain transmitter.

WARNING: Excessive pressure on the transmitter buttons will damage the
internal components on the circuit board. All that is required is a light push to the
button.
