ARMING THE SYSTEM - ACTIVE

1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close all doors, hood lid, and trunk lid.

2. Press and release the ARM / DISARM button on the keychain transmitter.

 Red dash mounted L.E.D. begins to flash slowly.
 Parking Lights flash one time.
 Siren sounds one chirp.

If the siren sounds 3 chirps, then you have left a door,trunk, or hood lid ajar.
Simply close the opened entry point to provide full protection. If the siren did
not sound when arming, then the chirps have been turned off, and you
should refer to the section titled “ ELIMINATING THE ARM / DISARM
CHIRPS “ in this manual.

 Doors Lock - Optional

ARMING THE SYSTEM - PASSIVE ( AUTOMATIC )

1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close and lock all doors, hood lid, and trunk lid.
 Red dash mounted L.E.D. begins to flash rapidly, indicating 30 second passive

arming has begun.

2. Opening any protected entry point during the 30 second passive arming cycle will immediately

suspend automatic arming, and the 30 second passive arming cycle will re start when all
doors are closed. At the end of the passive arming cycle;

 Red dash mounted L.E.D. begins to flash slowly.
 Parking Lights flash one time.
 Siren sounds one chirp

If the siren did not sound when arming, then the chirps have been turned
off, and you should refer to the section titled “ ELIMINATING THE ARM /
DISARM CHIRPS “ in this manual.

 Doors Lock - Optional

Door locking during passive arming is a selectable feature. The alarm can
be programmed to allow the doors to lock only when arming using the
keychain transmitter, and they will not automatically lock during passive
arming.

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.

Page 2

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.

 Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle’s starting circuit will be bypassed. If the thief

should choose to ignore the siren, the vehicle can not be started.

 Any strong impact to the vehicle's glass/body will cause the alarm to trigger for the full 30

second alarm cycle.

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 is selected, 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.

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.

 Siren sounds two chirps.

If the siren 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 did not sound when disarming, then the chirps have been turned
off, and you should refer to the section titled “ ELIMINATINGTHE ARM /
DISARM CHIRPS “ in this manual.

 Doors Unlock - Optional

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 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 two times...pause...two times...pause...etc., then an intrusion attempt

Page 3

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.

VALETSWITCH

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, remote door locks,
and secured Anti Hi-Jack mode will remain operational. T ouse the valet mode, the system must
first be disarmed either by using your keychain transmitter, or by manually overriding the sys­tem.

1. Enter the vehicle, and turn the ignition key to the on position.

2. Within 5 seconds 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. T oreturn to normal operation, move the valet switch back to the off position any time the
ignition is on.

NOTE : Always remember to move the valet switch back to the off position. This will ensure that
the vehicle remains protected at all times.

MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM:

USING THE VALET SWITCH MANUAL OVERRIDE

Your Security System can be disarmed without the use of the keychain transmitter. This is
necessary, since you will need the ability to operate your vehicle if the transmitter is lost or its
battery fails.
To by-pass the alarm system:

1. Open the vehicle door. The alarm will sound.

2. Start with the Valet Switch in the off position.

3. Turn the ignition key to the on position.

4. Within 5 seconds, turn the valet switch to the on position.

The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the valet, (by-passed) mode. This is indicated by
the dash mounted LED turning on. Y oucan now start and operate the vehicle normally.
Typicallythis override mode is used only if the transmitter has become inoperative. After repair
or replacement of the transmitter, returning the system to the full operation mode is necessary.
To do so, see item 3 under the heading VALET SWITCH.

ELIMINATING THE NORMALARM / DISARM CHIRPS

If you find the normal arming and disarming chirps annoying, they can be turned off perma­nently. To do this,

Page 4

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 : 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. If the vehicle battery is disconnected, when reconnected,
the normal arm/disarm chirp patterns will be operable. Repeat the steps above to disable these
chirps.

REMOTE PANIC OPERATION

The ARM / DISARM button on your keychain transmitter also functions as a panic switch for use
in emergency situations. Touse 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. Tostop 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 will operate in the panic mode.

ADDITIONAL REMOTE FUNCTION ( CHANNEL 2 )

This security system has an additional feature that can be connected to a number of different
optional accessories. Some of the more common uses for this channel are;

 Remote Trunk Release
 Remote Car Starter
 Remote Window Closure
 Remote Garage Door Interface

To activate the optional accessory, press and hold button 2 on the keychain transmitter for four
seconds.

ANTI HI-JACK MODE OPERATION

If this feature is selected on, every time you start the vehicle and close all doors, the Anti Hi-Jack
mode is enabled. This feature is automatic and no action is required by the operator. While the
ignition is on, and the vehicle is being operated, if a vehicle door is opened and then closed, the
Hi-Jack mode is initiated (See Start Timing Delay On The Last Page Of This Manual). After the
initiation delay, the unit will begin it's 4 stage trigger cycle ending with the vehicle engine turning
off.
The following is a description of the 4 stages of shut down:
Stage 1 This stage begins after the initial delay of 15 or 45 seconds, (See start time setting

noted on the last page of this manual). The LED beginning to flash for 15 seconds.
