When attempting to arm or disarm your Security System, you have the option of
temporarily muting the siren chirp sound. To perform this function, simply
depress both LOCK & UNLOCK buttons on the Remote Control Transmitter at
the same time. No chirp sound will be heard, arm / disarm confirmation will be
through the vehicles parking lights only.

VEHICLE LOCATOR

Your Car Pro Vehicle Security System is equipped with a vehicle locator function
which chirps the siren 6 times and flashes the vehicle’s parking lights 12 times to
easily locate your vehicle. To access this function, simply press the “Trunk” and

release your trunk by pressing the Trunk button for 2 seconds on the Remote
Control Transmitter. For additional security you have the option of this output
programmed as vehicle security pager trigger output. Consult with your dealer!

CHANGING THE REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER BATTERY

The Remote Control Transmitters come with (1) miniature 12-volt battery. Under
normal use this battery should have a life of approximately one year. If you
should need to replace your battery you may want to return to your installing
dealer. You may also wish to change the battery by yourself. When purchasing
the battery be sure to purchase any of the following: GP23A, #EL12, #VR22 or
Radio Shack #23-144.

To replace the battery, carefully remove the case screw located on the bottom of
the Remote Control Transmitter where the key ring attaches to the case. Use a

miniature #1 Phillips head screwdriver!

After removing the screw, carefully pop open the plastic case. Before removing
the battery note the direction of its “+/-“ terminals. Install the new battery exactly
the same way using caution not to bend the battery contacts. Replace the case
cover and insert and tighten the screw. Do not over tighten! Test the Remote
Control Transmitter.

flashing. It will begin flashing again once the vehicles door is closed.

3. After the 30 second timer has elapsed, the Security System will
automatically “ARM”. The siren will chirp (1) time and the vehicles parking
lights will flash (1) time.

Note: If the vehicles door locks have been interfaced to the Security System,

the vehicles doors will automatically lock after the passive arming cycle
has been completed. If this feature is not desired, see your local
dealer and have the Security System re-programmed to eliminate
passive door locking.

PASSIVE ARMING BYPASS

Your Car-Pro Vehicle Security System can temporarily bypass the Passive
Arming function via the Remote Control Transmitter for one arming cycle. To
