RF-501 OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

A. TRANSMITTER OPERATION

1. ARM/DISARM

TO ARM THE RF -501

Press the GREEN button once to arm. The siren will chirp one (1)
time, the lights will flash, and all doors will lock.

TO DISARM THE RF -501

Press the green button once to disarm. The siren will chirp two (2)
times, the lights will flash, and all doors will unlock. If optional dome
light supervision has been installed, all lighting normally connected to
the vehicle's pin switches will turn on for 60 seconds. If the key is
placed in the ignition and turned on before the 60 seconds has

expired,

the lights will go out.

NOTE: Your vehicle must be equipped with power door locks and the
optional relays installed with the RF -501 to allow alarm control over
the vehicle door locks. Additionally, all doors will lock automatically
each time the ignition key is turned on, and unlock automatically each
time the ignition key is turned off. Please see SECTION (L) "IGNITION
CONTROL POWER DOOR LOCK SAFETY SYSTEM".

2. PANIC FUNCTION

Press and hold the GREEN button for three (3) seconds, siren will
sound. Press the button again to stop the panic function.

3. DELETING THE PRE-WARNING SENSOR CIRCUIT (IF
INSTALLED)

The RF -501 offers an option to pre-warn possible violators with siren
chirps before triggering the alarm. The alarm will trigger on the third
violation within 15 seconds.

To delete the pre-warning sensor, press the GREEN button again

within

5 seconds after arming. The siren will confirm deletion with a low

chirp.

NOTE: Deleted sensor(s) will return to normal operation upon
disarming the RF -501. Sensor(s) deletion procedure must be

followed
each time the RF -501 is armed if this function is desired. This
operation deletes only the pre-warning sensor of the alarm. For
maximum protection, sensor(s) may be installed on a separate alarm
circuit that will not be affected by the pre-warning deletion operation.

4. DELETING THE ARM/DISARM CHIRP

The arm/disarm chirp signal may be deleted in two ways. If permanent
arm/disarm chirp delete is chosen, open the access door on the RF -

501
main unit and set dip switch #2 to OFF. Consult your local dealer for
details.

If it is desired to control the arm/disarm chirp through the RF -501
transmitter, then the procedure outlined below must be followed.

1. Upon approaching the vehicle (whether armed or disarmed) push

the
BLACK button on the transmitter for a half (0.5) second, then very
quickly push the GREEN button on the transmitter to arm or disarm in

the usual manner. The chirp signal will be silenced only for this
particular operation. The sequence must be repeated each time if it is
desired to cancel the arm/disarm chirp signal.

2. Upon deleting the arm/disarm chirp signal, arm/disarm verification
may be made by watching the vehicle's lights flash.

5. TRUNK/HATCH RELEASE

To remotely release the electric trunk or hatch on the vehicle you
must first disarm the RF -501. After disarming push the BLACK button

on
the transmitter for THREE (3) seconds. Trunk or hatch will release and
open. NOTE: The alarm will not control mechanical/latch trunk release
mechanisms.

6. SECOND/THIRD CAR OPERATION

Refer to SECTIONS "(M)" and "(N)" of this operation manual. Arming
and disarming will be determined by how the transmitters have been
programmed for multiple vehicle operation.

7. CHANGING THE TRANSMITTER BATTERY

The RF -501 transmitter uses one (1) 12 volt miniature battery, #EL12,
#VR22, or Radio Shack #23-144. It will provide approximately one year
of operation before replacement is necessary.

To replace the battery, carefully remove the case screw located at the
end of the transmitter where the key ring attaches to the case. Use a
small blade Phillips screwdriver. Before removing the battery note the
direction of its terminals. Install the new battery exactly the same

using
caution so as not to bend, or otherwise damage the battery contacts.
Replace the case cover and carefully tighten the screw. DO NOT
OVER-TIGHTEN THE SCREW! Test the transmitter to insure it arms

and disarms the alarm.
