YOUR KEYCHAIN TRANSMITTERS:
The transmitters included with this security system are pre-programmed at the factory,
with button assignments (channels) prioritized in a standard format. You can select which
transmitter button controls a particular function, (see the transmitter programming guide).
This manual explains the operation of the system assuming that the transmitter buttons are
prioritized in their standard, factory pre-set format.
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 button #1 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 parking light flasher has been installed, the vehicles parking lamps
will flash 1 time when the system arms.
3B. 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 button #1 on the
keychain transmitter. The siren will "chirp" once, the parking lamps will flash once
(optional), 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 three 60
second cycles, then re-arm and ignore the opened door zone.
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 parking light flasher (optional) is installed, whenever the system is triggered,
the vehicles parking lights will flash for the 60 second alarm cycle, attracting added
visual attention to the vehicle.
4. 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 button #1 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, the vehicle's parking lamps will flash two times,
(optional), and the doors will unlock, (optional).
a) If the parking light flasher (optional) is installed, the vehicle’s lights will
flash 2 times.
b) 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.
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. If the optional parking light flasher relay is installed, the vehicle’s
lights will flash 3 times to indicate an intrusion has occurred.
INTRUSION WARNING SIGNALS:
Page 3
Enter the vehicle and observe the dash mounted L.E.D. for further information.
1. If the L.E.D. is flashing one time...pause...one time... etc., then an intrusion attempt
was made to a voltage sensing, light activated entry point.
2. 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.
3. 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 within 10 seconds of step 1. 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
within 10 seconds. 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.
ELIMINATING THE ARM / DISARM CHIRPS:
The normal arming and disarming confirmation “chirps” can easily be turned on and off
using the valet toggle switch. To do this....
1. The valet switch must be 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, before proceeding with step 1, the chirps were on, then you will hear 2 chirps to
indicate that the chirps have been turned off.
Page 4
4b. If, before proceeding with step 1, the chirps were off, then you will hear 1 chirp to
indicate that the chirps have been turned on.
5. Whenever power to the system is disconnected ( for repair or service of the vehicle ),
the chirps will be active when the power is re - connected. To turn the chirps off, simply
execute steps 1 through 3 above.
NOTE: Whenever the chirps are by - passed, the 3 chirp defect and 4 chirp intrusion
indicator will always operate. This feature will always warn you if a zone is active
during arming or the vehicle was tampered with in your absence. This will occur even
if the normal arming and disarming chirps have been turned off.
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 button #1 on the key chain transmitter for 3 seconds or more. The alarm
will immediately sound.
2. To stop the alarm, press and release button #1 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.
OPTIONAL FEATURES (CHANNEL 2 AND CHANNEL 3):
This security system has two additional features that can be wired or programmed to
operate a number of different optional accessories. Some of the more common uses for
these “channels” are;
* Remote Trunk Release - available for any vehicle with a factory installed electronic
push-button trunk release.
* Remote Car Starter - available for most automatic transmission, fuel injected vehicles.
* Remote Window Roll Up - available for most vehicles equipped with power windows.
