ARMING THE SYSTEM (CHANNEL 1): ACTIVE
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close and lock all doors, hood, and trunk.
2. Momentarily depress the button on the keychain transmitter. The siren will "chirp" once,
the doors will lock (optional), and the dash mounted LED 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 the Hood, 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
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close and lock all doors, hood, and trunk.
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 hear a single, short "chirp" from the siren, 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 60 seconds, then stop and automatically re-arm the vehicle. If the
potential thief left a door opened, the siren will sound for four 60 second cycles, then rearm and ignore the opened door.
2. 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.
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.

DISARMING THE SYSTEM (CHANNEL 1):
1. As you approach the vehicle, 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.
2. The siren will “chirp” 2 times, indicating the system is DISARMED.
a) If the door lock interface (optional) is installed, the vehicle’s doors will automatically
unlock.
3A. ACTIVE: The dash mounted L.E.D. will turn off, and remain off until the system is armed.
3B. PASSIVE : Never attempt to disarm the system from a distance that prevents 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:
The 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 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 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.
2. 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 indicators are 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 to normal operation, move the valet switch to the “off” position any time the ignition
is on.
In the event you lose your transmitter, or if the transmitter fails 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.
REMOTE PANIC OPERATION (CHANNEL 1) :
The arming button on your key chain transmitter also functions as a “panic” switch for instant
activation of the alarm in emergency situations. To use the remote panic switch;
1. Press and hold the button on the key chain transmitter for 3 seconds or more. The alarm
will immediately sound.
2. To stop the alarm, press and release the button on the key chain transmitter. If the button
is not pressed, the alarm will automatically stop after 60 seconds.
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.
