PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED
Opening any protected door, hood, or trunk lid will cause the alarm to immediately
sound. The alarm will continue to sound for 30 seconds, then stop and continue to
monitor all protected entry points. If the thief left a door opened, the alarm will sound
for six 30 second cycles, remain armed and ignore that triggered zone.
Whenever the system is armed, the red dash mounted L.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.
Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle’s parking lights will flash for the full 30
second alarm cycle, attracting visual attention to the vehicle.
Optional - Whenever the system is triggered, the interior courtesy lights will flash for
the full 30 second alarm cycle.
Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle’s starting circuit will be bypassed. If the
thief should choose to ignore the siren/horn, the vehicle can not be started.
Any strong impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to trigger for the full 30
second alarm cycle.
Any mild impact to the vehicle's glass will cause the alarm to sound a short series of
warning tones.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
1. As you approach the vehicle, press and release the ARM / DISARM button on the
keychain transmitter.
Red dash mounted L.E.D. turns off.
If passive arming was selected during the installation, then the L.E.D.
will start flashing rapidly, indicating that the system is re arming automatically. Open any door to suspend the automatic arming.
Parking Lights flash two times.
Siren / Horn sounds two chirps.
Doors Unlock - Optional
Courtesy Light - Optional
If the parking lights flashed three times, then the alarm was triggered in
your absence. Before turning the key on, examine the L.E.D. to identify
which zone was triggered.
If the siren/horn sounds 4 chirps, then the alarm was triggered in your
absence. Before turning the key on, examine the L.E.D. and refer to the
INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS section of this manual to identify which
zone was triggered.
If the siren/horn did not sound when disarming, then the chirps have
been turned off, and you should refer to the section titled “ ELIMINATING THE ARM / DISARM CHIRPS “ in this manual.
Interior courtesy lights turn on for 30 seconds, or until the ignition key is
switched on.

INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS
This system will inform you if an intrusion attempt has occurred while you were away from
the vehicle. If an intrusion attempt has occurred, the siren/horn will chirp 4 times and the
parking lights will flash 3 times when disarming the system. Enter the vehicle, and observe
the red dash mounted L.E.D. to identify which zone was triggered.
If the L.E.D. is flashing one time...pause...one time...pause...etc., then an intru-
sion attempt was made to the shock sensor, or an accessory triggering device
that may have been added to the system.
If the L.E.D. is flashing two times...pause...two times...pause...etc., then an
intrusion attempt was made to a hood or trunk pin switch that was added to the
system, or to a light activated entry point if the alarm was installed using the
voltage sensing feature.
If the L.E.D. is flashing three times...pause...three times...pause...etc., then an
intrusion attempt was made through one of the vehicle’s doors.
These intrusion warning indicators are stored in the system’s memory, and will only be
erased 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
valet mode, all alarm functions are bypassed, however the remote panic feature and
remote door locks 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 valet mode.
3. To return to normal operation, move the valet switch back to the off position
any time the ignition is on.
In the event that you lose your keychain transmitter, or if the transmitter fails to disarm the
system, the valet switch can be used to disarm the alarm. Open the vehicle’s door ( the
alarm will sound ). Turn the ignition key on, and move the valet switch to the on position. The
alarm will disarm, 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 NORMAL ARM / DISARM CHIRPS
As explained earlier in the manual, you can eliminate the chirps selectively any time you arm
or disarm the system simply by holding the ARM / DISARM button for two seconds. If you
find the normal arming and disarming chirps annoying, they can be turned off permanently,
eliminating the need to hold the ARM / DISARM button for two seconds. To do this,
1. Start with the valet switch in the off position, then turn the ignition key on then off.
2. Within 10 seconds, move the valet switch to on then off three times.
3. If the chirps were on before you started, then you will hear 2 chirps indicating
they have been turned off.
If the chirps were off before you started, then you will hear one chirp
indicating they have been turned on.
NOTE: If the siren/horn chirps two times, regardless of the valet switch operation as
described above, then the horn and siren chirps have been turned off via programming
features7&8. Contact your installation center or Audiovox technical department for
information on how to reinstate the chirp feature through programming.
NOTE : Whenever the chirps are by - passed, the 4 chirp intrusion indicator and 3 chirp
defective zone indicator will always operate. Since these are important warnings to you
that something has happened, they cannot be eliminated.

REMOTE PANIC OPERATION
The ARM / DISARM button on your keychain transmitter also functions as a panic switch
for use in emergency situations. To use remote panic,
1. Press and hold the ARM / DISARM button on the keychain transmitter for 3 or
more seconds. The alarm will immediately sound.
2. To stop the alarm, press and hold the ARM / DISARM button on the transmitter
again for 3 seconds. If the button is not pressed, the alarm will automatically
stop after 30 seconds.
NOTE : All normal transmitter functions operate in the panic mode.
