KEYLESS ENTRY ALARM UPGRADE MODULE

Congratulations on your purchase of this automotive Keyless Entry Upgrade Alarm
System. This system is a state - of - the - art auto security system that is designed
to automatically arm and disarm when it receives a command from your existing
Factory Keyless Entry Transmitter. Taking a few moments to read this manual will
help to ensure that your vehicle is protected at all times.

NOTE:
The system has the ability to beep the vehicle's horn, sound a siren, or both. Where

a beep or chirp is mentioned, consider either or both may sound.

ARMING THE SYSTEM : ( ACTIVE )

1. Turn the ignition key off, exit the vehicle, and close all doors.

2. Press and release the Lock button on the keychain transmitter.

3. The siren and or horn will beep one time, the parking lamps will flash one time,
and the red dash mounted LED will begin to slowly flash, indicating that the
system is ARMED.

If the siren/horn
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.

4.

Any time the door lock switch in the vehicle is used to lock the doors while
the ignition key is turned off, the system will immediately arm. To lock the doors
after entering the vehicle,
Turning the ignition key on first will stop the system from arming.

ARMING THE SYSTEM : ( PASSIVE )

1. Turn the ignition key off, exit the vehicle, and close all doors.

2. The dash mounted LED will begin to flash rapidly, indicating that the system
is automatically ( passively ) arming. As an added convenience, the 30
second automatic passive arming will not begin until all doors are closed,
allowing passengers to exit the vehicle at their convenience.

3. In 30 seconds, you will hear a single short chip from the siren, and the vehicle’s
parking lamps will flash one time, indicating that the system has ARMED. At
this time, the red dash mounted LED will begin to flash slowly, providing a
visual indication that the system is fully armed.

4. It is possible to program the system, that when the alarm is allowed to
automatically passive arm, there will be a 15 second delay after a door is
opened before the alarm will sound. However, if the system is programmed
for instant trigger there will be no delay. Check with your installer for the setting
of this feature.

IMPORTANT! When the system is programmed for passive arming, the sys­tem will always arm, even when the keychain transmitter has not
been used to lock the doors.
When you leave the vehicle, and a door has been left opened, the system will
arm after 10 minutes. If you plan to vacuum the car, or if service work is being
performed, either leave the key in the ignition and switched to the on position,
or put the system into valet mode. If you do not do this, the system will arm in
10 minutes, and you may inadvertently trip the alarm.

PROTECTION WHILE THE SYSTEM IS ARMED :

1. Opening any door, hood, or trunk will cause the alarm to immediately sound.
The alarm will continue to sound for 30 seconds, then stop and
automatically rearm the vehicle. If the potential thief left a door opened, the
alarm will sound for three more 30 second cycles, then re - arm and ignore the
opened door zone.

2. Whenever the system is armed, the red dash mounted LED indicator will
slowlyflash. 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 the vehicle is left unattended for extended periods.

3. Whenever the system is triggered, the vehicle’s parking lights will flash for the
30second alarm cycle, attracting added visual attention to the vehicle.

4. Whenever the system is armed, the vehicle’s starter will be disabled. The
vehicle will not start.

DISARMING THE SYSTEM :

1. As you approach the vehicle, press and release the unlock button on the
keychain transmitter.

2. The siren and or horn will beep two times, the parking lamps will flash two
times, and the red dash mounted LED will turn off, indicating that the
system is DISARMED. If the optional entry illumination feature has been
installed, the vehicle’s interior lights will turn on for 30 seconds, or until the
ignition key is turned on.

NOTE: If your system has been programmed for “ passive arming “, then it will

begin to re-arm immediately after disarming. This is indicated by a
rapid flashing of the red dash mounted LED. Opening one of the

vehicle’s doors will suspend the passive arming process until all doors
have been closed, or until the ignition key has been turned on.

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 and or horn will beep
four times when the system is disarmed. The vehicle’s parking lights will also flash
three times to indicate an intrusion has occurred.
Enter the vehicle and observe the dash mounted LED for further information.

1. If the LED is flashing one time...pause...one time...pause...etc., then an
intrusion attempt was made to a voltage sensing, light activated entry point, or
to an optional sensor that has been connected to zone 1.

2. If the LED is flashing two times...pause...two times...pause...etc., then an
intrusion attempt was made to the hood or trunk, or to an optional sensor that
has been connected to zone 2.

3. If the LED 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 to the “ on “ position.

alarm in emergency situations. To use the remote panic switch;

the need to hand your transmitter to parking attendants or garage mechanics.

remote panic feature and remote door locks will remain operational. To use the
valet mode, the system must first be disarmed either by using your keychain
transmitter, or by overriding the system as explained in the Manual Override
