YOUR "SPREAD SPECTRUM" 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 re-transmit at a later time to disarm your system.
Your Spread Spectrum transmitters will shift frequencies making it impossible for a
thief to grab and rebroadcast your code.
If your transmitter button is pressed more than fty 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 re-aligned to the receiver. To do this,
simply press button 1, (lock), two times within a one second time period. The system
will now respond to that transmitter each time a button is pressed.
NOTE: This system is custom congurable and can be set up to op-
erate with a number of options controlled from any transmitter button
or button combination. For reference, we will describe operation assuming that your system is programmed for separate lock and unlock
buttons. Also reference will be made to the icons as shown on the
1 2
PRESTIGE
buttons of the transmitter to the left.
NOTE: Your system has the option of using a siren, the vehicle horn,
or both for the sounding device. Where the siren is referenced below,
the horn or both may in fact chirp, or beep.
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 Lock/Arm button on the keychain transmitter.
The dash mounted LED begins to ash slowly.
Parking Lights ash one time.
Siren sounds one chirp.
If the siren/horn 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 "chirped" three times, sometime after arming, the exclusive delayed
dome light learn circuit has been programmed and the system detected a
open entry point after the learned delay expired. Again, closing the hood,
trunk, or doors will correct the problem and you do not need to disarm
the system to make the correction. If the siren/horn 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
NOTE: If the optional Headlamp illumination feature has been added, and has been
selected for operation when arming, as an added convenience, the system
will turn on the headlights when the system is armed.

SILENT ARMING - ACTIVE (Feature must be activated during programming)
During step 2 above, hold the transmitter button for 2 seconds then release.
The unit will arm without the chirps for this one lock cycle.
ARMING THE SYSTEM - PASSIVE (AUTOMATIC)
(Must be activated during programming)
1. Turn off the engine, exit the vehicle and close and lock all doors, hood lid and
trunk lid.
The dash mounted LED begins to ash 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 restart when all doors are closed. At the end of the passive arming cycle;
The dash mounted LED begins to ash slowly.
Parking Lights ash 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 dash mounted LED indicator will slowly
ash. This serves as a visual deterrent to the potential thief. The LED 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 ash for the
full 30 second alarm cycle, attracting visual attention to the vehicle.
Optional - 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 mild impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to sound a short
series of warning tones.
Any strong impact to the vehicle’s glass will cause the alarm to trigger for the
full 30 second alarm cycle.
NOTE: If the optional interior illumination circuit was installed, the interior light will
ash as well for the full 30 second alarm cycle.
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
As you approach the vehicle, press and release the Disarm button on the keychain
transmitter.
The parking lights will ash two times, the siren will chirp twice, and the dash mounted
LED will turn off.
If you have the optional door lock/unlock circuit installed, the doors will unlock. If you
have the optional entry illumination circuit installed, the interior light will turn on for 30
seconds or until the ignition key is switched on.
NOTE: If the passive arming mode was selected at time of installation, the dash mounted
LED will start ashing rapidly indicating that the system is rearming. Opening
any door will suspend the automatic arming.
If the parking lights ashed three times, and the siren chirps four times, this indicates
that the alarm system was triggered during your absence. Before turning on the ignition
key, examine the dash mounted LED's ash pattern. The number of ashes identies
the triggered zone. For additional information, refer to INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS
found later in this manual.
If the siren did not sound upon disarm, then the chirps have been turned off. Refer to
the section titled ELIMINATING THE ARM/DISARM CHIRPS.
NOTE: If the optional 2 step door unlock circuit is installed, when the unlock transmitter
button is activated, the drivers door only will unlock, pressing the unlock button a
second time will cause all doors to unlock. If your transmitter has a separate lock
unlock buttons, pressing the unlock button anytime after the rst unlock command
will cause all the vehicle doors to unlock.
SILENT DISARMING (Feature must be activated during programming)
During step 1 above, hold the transmitter button for 2 seconds then release. The
unit will arm without the chirps for this one lock cycle.
WHILE THE SYSTEM IS SOUNDING
If during a triggered state, you wish to shut off the siren without disarming your security
system, simply press and release any transmitter button other than the disarm button.
This action will turn off the siren yet leave the vehicle fully armed and protected. This
feature is particularly useful if you are aware of children playing near your vehicle that may
accidentally trigger your security system. In this case you can cancel the siren sounding.

INTRUSION WARNING SIGNAL
This system will inform you if an intrusion attempt has occurred while you were away
from the vehicle. Upon disarm, the siren will chirp 4 times and the parking lights will
ash 3 times. Enter the vehicle and before turning on the ignition switch, observe the
LED ash pattern.
If the LED ashes one time...pause, one time...pause etc., then an intrusion attempt was
made by impact or a strong vibration that the shock sensor detected. Check the vehicle
for possible damage to the glass or body panels.
If the LED ashes two times...pause, two times...pause etc., then an intrusion attempt was
made to open the hood, trunk, or by an accessory triggering device. Check the vehicle
for indications of forced entry to these openings.
If the LED ashes three times...pause, three times...pause etc., then an intrusion attempt
was made to the vehicle doors. Check all doors for indications of forced entry.
NOTE: The LED intrusion warning indications are stored in the system's memory and
PUSH BUTTON LED RECEIVER VALET/OVERRIDE/SAFETY CONTROL SWITCH
The PushButton LED switch located in the receiver 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, the system must rst be disarmed either by using your keychain transmitter, or by activating your personalized manual override code.
1. Enter the vehicle, and turn the ignition key to the on position.
2. Press and hold the Push-Button switch until the LED turns on solid. The system will
3. To return to normal operation, press and release the Push-Button switch any time the
NOTE: Always remember to return the vehicle to the valet off position. This will ensure
MANUALLY OVERRIDING YOUR SYSTEM:
Using The Receivers Push Button Override Switch
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. If your system has been selected for Valet Switch manual override
as indicated on the last page of this manual, to bypass the alarm system;
The alarm system will stop sounding and enter the (bypassed) mode. You can now start
and operate the vehicle normally.
Typically this override mode is used only if the transmitter has become inoperative.
