YOUR “ Code Hopping “ TRANSMITTERS
The transmitters included with your new security system use the most advanced
and secure form of radio frequency transmission available on any current
automotive security system. Some of today’s sophisticated auto thieves use a
device known as a code grabber, which will receive and store the signal from your
keychain transmitter, and retransmit at a later time to disarm your system.
Your anti code hopping transmitters will change their signal every time the button
is pressed, so when a thief grabs then retransmits your signal, the alarm system
will not
respond.
If your transmitter button is pressed more than fifty times while it is out of range of
the vehicle ( children playing with your keys ), the transmitter will not operate when
you return to the vehicle and will need to be realigned to the receiver. To do this,
simply press the lock button two times within a one second time period. The
system will now respond to that transmitter each time a button is pressed.
NOTE: Your system has the option of using a siren, the vehicle horn, or both for
you, at a glance, can determine the status of your vehicle or determine the state
is received and acted upon by the unit in the vehicle, this LED will light Red and
the transmitter will beep twice, then will continue flash once every 10 seconds
so you, at a glance, can determine the status of your vehicle or determine the
state it was last left in.
the sounding device. Where the siren is referenced below, the horn or
both may in fact chirp, or beep.
Your APS-590 is also packaged with a two way confirming
transmitter shown Left which has Icon LED's to indicate the
function and status of your vehicle.
The top LED indicates:
a) Transmit, whenever a transmitter button is operated
this LED will turn on Green.
b) Out of range, when after pressing a transmitter button, if the
unit does not receive the command, this LED will turn on Red
and the transmitter will beep twice indicating the command
was not received or acted upon by the unit in the vehicle.
c) Low Battery, if when pressing any transmitter button, this
LED illuminates Red.
The Lock LED Indicates:
When the lock button on the transmitter is pressed and
the command is received and acted upon by the unit in
the vehicle, this LED will light Red and the transmitter will
beep once, then will continue flash once every 10 seconds so
it was last left in.
The Unlock LED Indicates:
When the unlock button on the transmitter is pressed and the command
The Trunk LED Indicates:
When the Trunk transmitter button is operated for three seconds, if the
optional trunk release option is installed, the vehicle's trunk will open.

The Trunk LED will flash 4 times.
The Triggered LED Indicates:
Whenever the system is armed and then triggered from either entry
point or any additional sensor device, the triggered LED will flash 15
times, and the hand held transceiver will play a melody.
Note: Upon trigger, the hand held unit can be selected to vibrate, play a melody,
or both. See details below.
T wo Way T ransmitter Operation:
The two way transmitter depicted in this manual operates similar to any
transmitter with the exception that it will also indicate that the vehicle acted upon
the command issued.
Locking: Press and release the Lock Icon Button on the transmitter and the unit,
providing it is within range of the vehicle, will lock the vehicle doors and report
back that the command was acted upon by briefly turning on the Lock LED and
beeping once. This lock LED will flash 1 time every 10 seconds until the Unlock
command is issued.
Press and hold for lock button for three seconds causes the unit to go into the
panic mode. See panic mode referenced later on in this manual.
Unlocking: Press and release the Unlock Icon Button on the transmitter and the
unit, providing it is within range of the vehicle, will unlock the vehicle doors and
report back that the command was acted upon by briefly turning on the Unlock
LED and beeping twice. This unlock LED will flash 1 time every 10 seconds
until the lock command is issued.
Press and hold for unlock button for three seconds causes the unit to go into
the car finder mode. See panic mode referenced later on in this manual.
Operating The Trunk Release: When the Trunk transmitter button is operated
for three seconds, if the optional trunk release option is installed, the vehicle's
trunk will open. The Trunk LED will flash 4 times.
NOTE: Must Have Electric Trunk Release.
If this button is operated two times in succession, an optional alternate device
will be activated. Check with your installation to see if either or both these
optional features are installed, and how they are operated.
The Option Button: Press and release the OPT Button on the transmitter and
the unit, providing it is within range of the device it is controlling, will operate the
device. This option button can be programmed into a number of Audiovox
accessories. If the accessory is a second two way Audiovox Remote Start Unit,
perhaps installed in a second vehicle, then the vehicle will act upon the
command but only the prime transmitter for that vehicle will indicate the command was acted upon.
T oggling Between Vibrate, Chirp, or Both Chirp & Vibrate:
The two way transmitter offers the option of having Beep Tones, Vibration, or
Both Beep Tones & Vibration associated with the function responses of the
transmitter.
To toggle between these modes, press simultaneously the "F" function button

and the Unlock Icon Button. The transmitter will beep, beep & vibrate, or vibrate
only toggling on the specific preference.
Check Vehicle Status:
Press the lock+key+option buttons simultaneously for 1 second. The vehicle's
alarm will display the systems current status briefly by flashing the LED associated with the state the vehicle was left in. This feature is useful if you do not
want to wait the 10 seconds for a LED to display the status or if you just want to
check the status without operating the Lock or Unlock buttons.
