ARMING THE SYSTEM (CHANNEL 1) : ACTIVE
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close and lock all doors, hood, and trunk.
2. Press and release the larger ARMING button on the keychain transmitter. The siren will
"chirp"once, thevehicle's parking lightswill flashonce, the doorswill lock(optional), and
the dash mounted L.E.D. will begin to slowly flash.
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.
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 doors will correct
the problem, and you do not need to disarm the system to make the correction.
ARMINGTHESYSTEM (CHANNEL 1) : PASSIVE
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle, and close and lock all doors, hood, and trunk.
2. Thedash mountedL.E.D. willbegin to flash rapidly, indicating that thesystem isautomatically
(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, and the vehicle's parking
lampswill flashone time, indicating the systemis ARMED. Atthis time, the dash mounted
L.E.D. will begin to flash slowly, providing a visual indication that the system is fully
ARMED.
OPTION NOTE: If the optional (not included) power door lock interface has been
installed, the alarm control module can be programmed to...
a) Automatically lock the doors during step 3 above or,
b) Only lock the doors when step 4 below is executed.
4. Ifyou wish to arm the system immediately, simply press and release the larger ARMING
buttonon thekeychain transmitter. The siren will "chirp"once, thevehicle's parking lamps
willflash once,the doors willlock, andthe dash mountedL.E.D. willbegin to slowlyflash.

PROTECTIONWHILE THE SYSTEM ISARMED:
1. Openingany door, hood ortrunk will cause thealarm to immediately sound. The sirenwill
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 rearm and ignore the opened door zone.
2. Whenever the system is armed, the Red dash mounted L.E.D. indicator will slowly flash.
Thisserves asa visualdeterrent to the potential thief. The L.E.D. is a verylow currentbulb,
and will not cause the vehicle's battery to drain, even when left unattended for extended
periods.
3. Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle's parking lights will flash for the 30 second
alarmcycle, attracting added visual attentionto the vehicle.
4. Whenever the system is triggered, the interior courtesy lights will flash for the duration of
the full alarm cycle, (optional).
5. Whenever the system is armed,the vehicle'sstarter will be bypassed. If a thief shouldchoose
to ignore the siren, the vehicle can not be started.
DISARMINGTHE SYSTEM (CHANNEL1):
1. As you approach the vehicle, press and release the larger ARMING button on the keychain
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, the vehicle's parking lamps will flash two times, the doors
will unlock, and the vehicle's interior courtesy light will turn on for approximately 30
seconds, indicating the system is DISARMED.
3A. ACTIVE : The dash mounted L.E.D. will turn off, and remain off until the system is re-
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
armingcycle.
Thesystem will informyou if anintrusion attempt hasoccurred while youwere away fromthe
vehicle. Ifan intrusion attempthas occurred, thesiren will "chirp"4 times whendisarming the
system.
Thevehicle's parking lights will also flash 3 times to indicate an intrusion has occurred. Enter
the vehicle and observe the dash mounted L.E.D. for further information.
INTRUSIONWARNING SIGNALS:
Page 3
1. If the L.E.D. is flashing one time...pause...one time... etc., then an intrusion attempt was
made to an optional sensor that has been connected to zone 1.
2. If the L.E.D. is flashing two times...pause...two times...etc., then an intrusion attempt was
made to a voltage sensing, light activated entry point, or to the hood, trunk, or an optional
sensor that has been connected to zone 2.
3. If the L.E.D.is flashingthree times...pause...three times...etc.,then anintrusion 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
from memory when the ignition key is turned on.
VALET/ SYSTEM OVERRIDE SWITCH:
The"Valet" switch allowsyou to temporarily bypass all alarm functions, eliminating the need
tohand yourtransmitter to parking attendants orgarage mechanics. When the system isin valet
mode,all alarmfunctions 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 returnto normaloperation, movethe valetswitch tothe "off"position anytime theignition
is on.
In the event you lose your keychain 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
alarmwill sound). Turn the ignition keyon, andmove the valet switch tothe "on"position.
The alarm will stop sounding, and the vehicle can now be started.
NOTE: Alwaysremember to movethe Valet Switchback to the "off" position. This will
ensure that the vehicle remains protected at all times.
ELIMINATINGTHE ARM / DISARMCHIRPS :
Thereare twoways of eliminating the normalarming and disarming chirps, andthe methodthat
you choose will depend upon your personal preferences.
Ifyou preferto usethe chirpsunder normaloperation, butfind thechirps tobe annoyingin certain
situations, then you can selectively eliminate the chirps in these situations. To do this, simply
hold the transmitter button for one full second when arming or disarming. All functions
explained in the arming and disarming sections of this manual will occur, with the exception
that the chirps will be silent for that transmission.
Page 4
If you prefer to completely eliminate the arming and disarming chirps, and would like silent
operation at all times, follow the procedure below.
1. Be sure the valet switch is in the "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...
"on - off - on - off - on - then off".
4a. If you started this procedure with chirps on, then you will hear 2 chirps indicating that the
chirps have been turned off.
4b. If you started this procedure with chirps off, then you will hear one chirp indicating that the
chirps have been turned on.
5. Wheneverpower tothe system is disconnected (forrepair or service of thevehicle), the chirps
will be active when the power is re-connected.
NOTE: Whenever the chirps are by-passed, the 3 chirp door opened indicator and
4 chirp intrusion alert indicator will always operate.
REMOTEPANIC OPERATION (CHANNEL1):
The arming button on your keychain 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 arming button on the keychain transmitter for 3 seconds or more. The
alarmwill immediately sound.
2. To stop the alarm, press and release the arming button on the keychain transmitter. If the
button is not pressed, the alarm will automatically stop after 30 seconds.

components on the circuit board. All that is required is a light push to the button.
