ABOUT YOUR NEW CRIME GUARD SYSTEM

Congratulations on your purchase of a new Crime Guard security system. Crime Guard systems combine the benefits of easy-to-use convenience with “no nonsense” protection of person and property. Please review this guide to become familiar with your Crime Guard vehicle security system. To operate your security system, the three principal components are first described: the Remote Control Transmitter, the Red Status Indicator Light, and the Easy ValetTM Switch.

The Remote Control Transmitter: Your system comes with two prelearned remote controls, or “transmitters”, and is capable of being operated by as many as four transmitters. The transmitter has three buttons: A Large Upper button, a Small Middle Button, and a Small Lower Button.

Every transmitter has its own unique, invisible electronic “code”. Each time the transmitter is used, this code randomly changes, effectively protecting your system against “code grabber” devices, like those used to copy cellular phone security codes. Another exclusive patented feature, Automatic Transmitter Verification (ATVTM), ensures that only your transmitters operate your system, and is explained on page 19. These features, and many others, ensure that Crime Guard systems are the most secure vehicle security systems available.

The Status Indicator Light: The Red Status Indicator Light reports the status of the security system at all times, and also serves as a visual deterrent to break-ins and theft. In addition, the Status Indicator Light is part of the ATVTM visual display, and is also used for the Alarm Memory Recall feature.

Specific description of the Status Indicator Light is on page 15.

The Valet Switch: The Valet Switch has three main functions: 1- The Valet Switch can be used to turn off the security operation of the

system, including the Last Door Arming feature (if used). This is

referred to as “placing the system into Easy Valet Mode”. 2- The Valet Switch can also be used, in conjunction with the vehicle’s

ignition key, to perform an emergency disarming of the security system

in the event the transmitter is lost or becomes inoperable. This is

referred to as an “Emergency Override”. 3- The Valet Switch is used in the procedure of programming operational

features and also for encoding transmitters to the system.

USING YOUR CRIME GUARD SYSTEM

Your new Crime Guard security system is designed to deter theft of both

your vehicle and its contents. Arming the system turns on the protection operation, disables the vehicle’s starter and locks the doors provided an interface is installed. Once the system is Armed, any intrusion attempt will Activate it, sounding the siren and flashing the parking lights to attract attention. Disarming the system turns off the protection, allowing normal use of the vehicle.

There are two methods of Arming the security system:

1- The first method is to use the transmitter, by pressing and releasing its

Large Upper Button. The system must not already be armed or be in Easy Valet Mode (page 14), and the vehicle’s ignition switch must be off. In normal operation, each press of the Large Upper Button reverses the system between the armed and disarmed states.

2- The second method is Last Door Arming, which configures the system to

automatically arm every time you exit the vehicle. This method of arming is programmable, and may be used or not used as desired.

Upon Arming:

• The siren will chirp twice (or four times if a zone is bypassed) unless

the silent arming procedure is followed.

• The parking lights will flash twice (or four times if a zone is bypassed).

• The doors will lock.*

• The starter interrupt will engage.

• The Status Indicator Light will begin to flash slowly. Three seconds after arming, the security system becomes fully armed, and will activate to an alarm condition should an intrusion attempt be detected. Further transmitter operations and options are discussed on page 12.

* An optional doorlock interface must be installed

Arming Bypass:

When arming the system using the transmitter, if any protected zone or sensor circuit is in a violated condition, the affected zone or circuit will be automatically bypassed. This is “Arming Bypass”, which allows the system to still arm and protect the other normal, non-violated zones. In the case of a bypassed zone or circuit, should the violated condition return to normal, 5 seconds after becoming normal the system restores protection to the previously bypassed zone or circuit.

If the hood and trunk zone, or sensor circuit is bypassed when the system is armed, instead of the normal arming confirmation the siren will chirp four times and the parking lights will flash four times to alert you. However, if a door zone is bypassed, the siren and light confirmation will be the normal two chirps and flashes, as many vehicles are equipped with a delayed interior light illumination. In these vehicles, the interior light delay would typically cause the system to indicate a bypass if the system is armed during the delay. In these cases, the arming indication is normal, and the door zone is protected by the system five seconds after the interior light turns off.

LAST DOOR ARMING BY EXITING THE CAR

Last Door Arming:

Last Door Arming is a programmable feature which configures the system to arm itself without needing a command from the transmitter. This convenient feature offers a high level of security and may entitle the vehicle owner to an insurance discount since the user does not need to remember to arm the system each time the vehicle is exited.

Page 5

The Last Door Arming feature may be coupled, if desired, with the automatic locking of the vehicle’s doors when the system arms itself.*

The Last Door Arming process:

1- When the vehicle’s ignition has been turned off, the system waits until a

door is opened. When the door is closed, or when the last door is closed when more than one door is opened, the siren will chirp twice, the parking lights will flash twice, and the Status Indicator Light will begin flashing rapidly. The Last Door Arming countdown has begun.

2- Thirty seconds later the siren will again chirp twice, the parking lights

will again flash twice, the starter interrupt will engage, and the Status Indicator Light will begin flashing slowly. If programmed to do, the vehicle’s doors will also lock.* Three seconds after these actions occur, the system is fully armed.

Notes:

- If a door is reopened during the thirty second period between the first

and second set of double chirps, the countdown will stop and reset. When the reopened door is closed again, the 30 second countdown starts over again at the beginning.

- Last Door Arming is separate from, and does not effect the operation of

arming by using the transmitter.

- All protected points must be closed or otherwise in a non-violated state for the Last Door Arming sequence to start. Unlike active arming from the transmitter, the system can not bypass an open or detected zone and arm itself.

To temporarily prevent the system from arming itself:

- Place the system in Valet Mode using the Valet Switch (page 14).

- Leave a vehicle door open. Although this varies depending on the vehicle, in many cases turning on the interior light will be detected by the system as an open door.

- Although the system will not Last Door Arm while the ignition is on, leaving the ignition key turned on without the engine running is not recommended.

* An optional doorlock interface must be installed

Page 6

SYSTEM ARMED & ACTIVATED

While the system is in the Armed state:

• The Status Indicator Light will be flashing slowly to confirm that the system is armed, and also serve as a visual deterrent.

• The starter interrupt circuit is engaged.

• Protected zones are being monitored for intrusion attempts.

Should an activation into the alarm condition occur:

• The changing-tone electronic siren will loudly sound.

• The parking and lights will flash.

• The doors will lock,* regardless of their locked or unlocked status. This feature is unique- if the system detects that a door is opened, it waits until the door is closed before relocking it, denying the thief reentry.

An activated alarm condition has a duration of 30 seconds (60 is optional) unless the system is disarmed using the transmitter or the Easy Valet switch. If all protected zones are secure at the end of the alarm condition, the system will stop and rearm automatically, ready to detect another entry attempt. If a protected zone is still violated at the end of the alarm condition, the system will reactivate for up to two additional alarm cycles. After the third alarm cycle the system will automatically rearm and bypass the open zone until that zone returns to a normal “non-violated” state.

• Once the system resets after it has been activated, upon disarming the

audible and visual confirmation will change to indicate the activation. This is the “Activation Alert”, which is explained on page 10.

* An optional doorlock interface must be installed

DISARMING THE SYSTEM

There are three methods of Disarming the security system:

1- The first method is to press and release the transmitter’s Large Upper

Button to disarm the system. This is the normal “daily use” method.

2- The second method is to press and release twice within 5 seconds the

transmitter’s Small Middle Button. This is “silent Disarming”.

3- The third method is for emergencies, should the transmitter become lost

or inoperable. This is the “Emergency Override”, and uses the ignition key and Valet Switch.

To Silently Disarm the System: First Press & Release the Small Middle Button, then Press & Release the Small Middle Button again

Upon Disarming:

• The siren will chirp once (or three times if an alarm activation occurred) unlessthe silent disarming procedure is followed.

• The parking lights will flash once (then, if programmed, illuminate for 30 seconds or until the vehicle’s ignition is turned on). Please note that an option is having the interior lights also illuminate. Please consult your installing dealer.

• The doors will unlock, either all doors or driver’s door only.*

• The starter interrupt will disengage.

• The Status Indicator Light will show one of these features or conditions:

-Flashing rapidly = Automatic Rearming feature is in progress.

-Off = System disarmed (Automatic Rearming feature not selected).

-Flash /Pause = Indicates violated zone if system has been activated.

* An optional doorlock interface, in either standard form or driver’s door priority form, must be installed

Safety Disarm Feature

Pressing and releasing the Large Upper Button while the system is activated into the alarm condition will disarm the system, but the doors will remain locked. This is the “Safety Disarm” feature, which allows the vehicle to remain secure, even though an activated system has been disarmed.

Page 8

Safety Disarm will also cancel Automatic Rearming. This feature is also very useful when the vehicle is exposed to environmental conditions, such as storms, trains or heavy vehicles, which may cause false activations.

Safety Disarm is a temporary “one time” operation which occurs only while the system is activated. To remotely unlock the doors after a Safety Disarm, simply arm, then disarm the system again.

Activation Alert

If the system experiences an alarm condition and resets itself, upon disarming the siren will chirp three times and the parking lights will flash three times instead of the normal one chirp and one light flash. Additionally, the Status Indicator Light will be flashing a “Zone Violation Code”; when the alarm condition activation occurred, the Status Indicator Light changes from flashing slowly to flashing two to four times between pausing to indicate which protected zone was violated.

- The Zone Violation Code will continue to be displayed until the vehicle’s

ignition is turned on.

- The Status Indicator Light will display the Zone Violation Code in place

of fast flashes indicating Automatic Rearming.

- Should the system be rearmed before the ignition clears the Zone Violation

Code memory, the Status Indicator Light shows the normal slow flashing.

- The system can store up to two consecutive Zone Violation Codes. If more

activations occurred, the two most recent codes are displayed.

Automatic Rearming:

Automatic Rearming is a programmable feature which ensures that your system is never inadvertently disarmed. It is possible to accidentally or unknowingly operate the transmitter from a pocket or purse. You may not even be aware of an accidental disarming due to the enhanced operating distance offered by the Extended Range Transmitter.

How It Works:

Whenever the system is disarmed by the transmitter, this feature starts a 90 second countdown, which is indicated by a rapidly flashing Status Indicator Light. During this 90 second period, if no protected entry points are opened and the vehicle’s ignition is NOT turned on, the system will automatically arm itself at the end of the countdown. If desired, the system can also be programmed to automatically relock the doors when this occurs.

Automatic Rearming Notes continued on next page . . .

Page 9

Automatic Rearming Notes:

- Turning the vehicle’s ignition on cancels Automatic Rearming.

- Opening a door will suspend the 90 second countdown.

- All protected zones must remain non-violated during the 90 second Automatic Rearming period. For example, if a vehicle door is opened during the 90 second period, the countdown will stop. When the door is closed, the system resets and starts a new 90 second countdown period.

- The Automatic Rearming sequence is indicated by a fast flashing Status Indicator Light, unless the system has been activated, in which case aa Zone Violation Code will flash instead (page 15). The ignition switch must be turned on to erase a Zone Violation Code.

- If the system is disarmed while it is activated (siren sounding and lights flashing) Safety Disarm will cancel the Automatic Rearming for that disarming operation only. The next time the system is armed, Automatic Rearming will be initiated upon the subsequent disarming.

DRIVER’S DOOR PRIORITY UNLOCKING

(Requires special installation)

To Disarm the System & Unlock the Driver’s Door:

First,

DISARM normally: Press & Release the Large Upper

Button

Then, within 3 seconds of Disarming the System: Press & Release the Large Upper Button again to Unlock the remaining doors.

THE SIREN WILL CHIRP ONCE TO CONFIRM DISARMING

- When disarming a system configured for Driver’s Door Priority, the user has the option of Silent Disarming or selective unlocking of the doors (Driver’s Door Priority). These are two separate operations and not interchangeable.

* An optional doorlock interface must be installed

Page 10

DISARMING BY EMERGENCY OVERRIDE

Emergency Override:

In the event that your transmitter is lost, damaged, or its batteries have become exhausted, the Valet Switch and the vehicle’s ignition key may be used to disarm the system. Please note that for this operation the pressing of the Valet Switch may be customized; this is the SecureCode feature, the programming of which is described on page 23.

The following Emergency Override instructions reflect the SecureCode entry of the Valet Switch as the “as received” default setting of “1 press”. Instead of “1 press” of the Valet Switch, a customized programming of the SecureCode would require from 2 to 12 presses.

To Disarm the System without using a Transmitter:

Step 1. With the system in the armed condition, enter the vehicle via the

driver's door (be aware that the system will activate to an alarm

condition when the door is opened). Step 2. Using the ignition key, turn the vehicle’s ignition on. Step 3. Within 5 seconds, enter the SecureCode by pressing and releasing

the Valet Switch once. The system will disarm.

ENTER THE VEHICLE AND USE YOUR KEY TO TURN THE IGNITION ON

THE SYSTEM WILL DISARM

If the SecureCode entry of the Valet Switch is the “as received” default setting of “1 press”, the system will disarm the moment the Valet Switch is released from the single press. If a customized SecureCode has been programmed, the system will disarm a few seconds after the correct entry. If an incorrect entry is made, the system will not disarm.

WITHIN 5 SECONDS OF TURNING THE IGNITION ON, ENTER THE SECURECODE BY PRESSING THE VALET SWITCH

A procedure which separate, but similar, to an Emergency Override is the Easy Valet mode, which prevents the system from performing any automatic arming operations which may be programmed to occur. Easy Valet Mode is explained on page 14.

- The Panic feature is designed for situations in which the user feels threatened and/or a need to attract attention.

- Panic can be activated anytime, whether the vehicle’s ignition is turned on or off, and has a 30 second duration (60 seconds is optional) unless it is deactivated using the remote control.

- At the end of the Panic cycle the system will reset, enter the armed state, and lock the doors.*

* An optional doorlock interface must be installed. If the vehicle has been

configured for Driver’s Door Priority, Panic will unlock the driver’s door.

OTHER TRANSMITTER OPERATIONS

The previous sections have described the basic everyday operations of your Crime Guard system. The transmitter is also capable of operating several other optional functions which are explained in this section.

Two auxiliary outputs are available for use (the primary output Arms and Disarms the system). The second output, Auxiliary Output #2, is also capable of Disarming the system; thus it is ideally suited for remote trunk release. Operating Auxiliary Output #2 will also unlock the doors* when it Disarms the system, should it be armed. If desired, the unlocking of the

doors and disarming of the system may be programmed to not operate. The final output, Auxiliary Output #3 cannot affect the armed or disarmed status of the system, nor unlock the doors as part of its operation.

- Auxiliary Output #2 may be activated anytime, provided the vehicle’s ignition is off. While the ignition is on, the Auxiliary Output #2 can be operated as long as a vehicle door is open; this prevents the output from being accidentally activated while driving.

- If feature #6 is programmed to have the Auxiliary Output #2 disarm the system, the doors will unlock when it is activated; and there is an audible and visual confirmation: 3 siren chirps and one light flash if the system also disarms, and one chirp and light flash otherwise.

- Auxiliary Output #3 may be activated at any time, regardless of the ignition being on or off, and regardless of the security system’s status.

- Auxiliary #3 has no audible and/or visual confirmation.

* An optional doorlock interface must be installed. When Auxiliary

Output #2 is operated, all of the doors will unlock, even if the vehicle is configured Driver’s Door Priority.

Page 13

EASY VALET MODE

Easy Valet Mode: This allows you to turn off all off the “alarm” operations

of the security system while retaining the remote convenience features such as keyless entry, Panic, and the Auxiliary Outputs. The system may only be placed into Easy Valet when it’s disarmed; if armed, an Emergency Override must be performed before placing into Easy Valet Mode. Once the system is in Easy Valet Mode, it cannot become armed from the transmitter, Last Door Arming, or Automatic Rearming.

Although both use the Valet Switch, Easy Valet Mode and Emergency Override are two similar, but different procedures. Emergency Override disarms an armed and activated system, and requires the ignition key. Easy Valet Mode turns off the alarm operations of the disarmed system, but without the need of the ignition key.

Easy Valet mode is designed for situations in which it is not convenient for the security portion of the system to be operational. For example: During extended stopovers for vehicle servicing, maintenance, valet parking, washing, etc.

The Valet Switch is in the Status Indicator Light/Valet Switch Assembly. The installer has the

WITH THE SYSTEM DISARMED, PRESS AND HOLD THE VALET SWITCH FOR 2 SECONDS

option of utilizing an additional, separate Valet Switch should mounting in a hidden location be desired. Please become familiar with the location of the Easy Valet switch.

To Enter “Easy Valet” Mode:

With the system disarmed, Press & Hold the Valet Switch for 2 seconds.

- The siren will chirp twice, the parking lights will flash twice and the

Status Indicator Light will illuminate solid Red to confirm that the system is in Easy Valet mode.

- To remind the user that the system in Easy Valet mode, the siren will

chirp once every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned off.

To Exit “Easy Valet” Mode:

Press & Release the Valet Switch.

-The Status Indicator Light will turn off to confirm exit from Easy Valet mode.

Page 14

STATUS INDICATOR LIGHT

The Red Status Indicator Light visually confirms the status of the system and provides a high level of visual deterrence. Additionally, the Status Indicator Light is also part of the patented Automatic Transmitter Verification feature and the Zone Violation Code feature. The Status Indicator Light, which shares a housing assembly with the Valet Switch, is normally mounted in a location where it can be easily seen by the driver, as well as from outside the vehicle.

Security System Status: The primary function of the Status Indicator Light is to indicate the status of the security system:

1) Off = The system is disarmed and not performing automatic functions.

2) On Constant = The system is in the Easy Valet Mode.

3) Flashing Slow = The system is fully armed.

4) Flashing Fast = Last Door Arming or Automatic Rearming is in progress. Automatic Transmitter Verification: For the first 10 seconds after

the vehicle’s ignition is turned on, the Status Indicator Light will flash a number of times equal to the number of transmitters that are capable of operating the system:

5) 1 Flash /pause = 1 transmitter is programmed.

6) 2 Flashes /pause = 2 transmitters are programmed.

7) 3 Flashes /pause = 3 transmitters are programmed.

8) 4 Flashes /pause = 4 transmitters are programmed. Zone Violation Code: If the system enters an alarm condition, the Red

Status Indicator Light will stop flashing slowly and begin to flash in sequence to indicate which protected zone caused the alarm condition. The Status Indicator Light will flash and pause to indicate which protected zone was violated while the system is still armed, after it’s disarmed, and until the vehicle’s ignition is turned on. The system’s Zone Violation Code circuit can store two consecutive zone violations. If there have been multiple violations, the Status Indicator Light will replay the two most recent violations in the order in which they occurred.

9) 2 Flashes /Pause = System was triggered through the hood or trunk.

10) 3 Flashes /Pause = System was triggered through the door.

11) 4 Flashes /Pause = System was triggered by the sensor. Note: Turning on the ignition will clear the Zone Violation Code.

Page 15

DUAL-ZONE IMPACT SENSOR

Sensors: The Crime Guard 533i3 security system is equipped with a Dual-

Zone Infrasonic Impact Sensor to increase the effectiveness of the system. The impact sensor is just one in a comprehensive line of available sensors. Other available options are: glass tampering sensors, piezo shock sensors, and microwave/radar sensors which can detect motion inside and outside the vehicle. Your Crime Guard dealer can provide details on the complete line of sensors and help determine which sensor or sensors are best suited for your needs.

- The system will automatically bypass the sensor zone if it is triggered five

times during a single armed period. If desired, this feature can be programmed to not operate.

Prewarning Detection Circuit: When the sensor’s prewarn zone is violated the security system will respond by chirping the siren three times and relocking all of the doors.* If the prewarn circuit is triggered five times while the system is armed, the circuit will automatically shutdown until the security system is disarmed and armed again.

REMOTE SENSOR BYPASS

To Activate Remote Sensor Bypass: First Arm the System, then within 4 Seconds Press & Release the Small Lower Button.

THE SIREN WILL CHIRP TWICE TO

CONFIRM ARMING

THE SIREN THEN CHIRPS ONCE

TO CONFIRM SENSOR BYPASS

THE PARKING LIGHTS WILL FLASH TWICE TO CONFIRM

THE DOORS WILL LOCK UPON ARMING*

Remote Sensor Bypass allows the option of “turning off” the sensor anytime the system is armed using the transmitter. When the sensor is bypassed, only the sensor zone is bypassed and all other protected zones will remain fully operational and vigilant. The sensor zone will reset to its normal operation the next time the system arms.

* An optional doorlock interface must be installed.

Page 16

BACKUP BATTERY

This security system is equipped with a backup battery inside the control module. The backup battery will provide an alternative power source to operate the Crime Guard system if the vehicle's battery is disconnected. A built-in protection circuit will not allow the backup battery to supply power into the vehicle's electrical system.

While operating on the backup battery, the system will not have the flashing lights output, the Status Indicator Light, nor power any sensors in order to conserve power. The siren will continue to operate at its maximum sound output, all protected entry zones (besides the sensor) will continue to be monitored, and the Starter Interrupt will operate while the system is armed. The backup battery should be replaced by your authorized Crime Guard dealer every 18 months, or any time the backup battery has operated the system on its own.

Anticipated life for the backup battery under following conditions:

• 2 days as the system’s only power source while armed.

• 25 activated alarm cycles: An activated cycle has a 30 second duration

during which the siren is sounding. The cycle ends when the system automatically resets itself to the armed state.

• 50 separate arming or disarming commands.

• 18 months if the backup battery circuit has not been used.

2nd & 3rd VEHICLE OPERATION

Up to three systems may be independently operated using a single transmitter. The transmitter’s button functions can be programmed to be different for each vehicle. This ability to change the button assignment prevents arming and disarming the multiple systems simultaneously. (Refer

to the following chart for button function assignment)

Page 17

VEHICLE RECOVERY

Your system is equipped with three separately programmable Vehicle Recovery protection features, which also provide Anti-Carjacking protection. The Vehicle Recovery operation may be selectively activated by the ignition, by an open door, or by the transmitter.

How It Works:

Once the Vehicle Recovery process has begun, the user has 53 seconds to cancel the process by entering the system’s programmed SecureCode using the Valet Switch. If Vehicle Recovery is not cancelled, 53 seconds after being activated the siren will begin to chirp for 7 seconds to alert the user that the system is about to enter into an alarm condition.

If the Vehicle Recovery process is not cancelled before the 60 second countdown expires, the system will enter an alarm condition, sounding the siren and flashing the parking lights. 30 seconds after this occurs, or should the ignition be turned off in the meantime, the stater interrupt will engage.

Once the system enters the alarm condition, it will not respond to the transmitter, nor will the system reset automatically after 60 seconds.

Once in the alarm condition, the Vehicle Recovery Protection can only be disengaged by: Step 1: Turning the vehicle’s ignition off. Step 2: Turning the ignition back on. Step 3: Within 5 seconds, perform an Emergency Override using the

Valet Switch. If the SecureCode has been customized, the correct number of Valet Switch presses must be made.

Level #1: Vehicle Recovery activated by the vehicle’s ignition:

The Vehicle Recovery process is started every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned on. This is programmable feature #12.

Level #2: Vehicle Recovery activated an open door:

The Vehicle Recovery process is started by a door of the vehicle being opened, but only if the ignition is on when the door is opened. This is programmable feature #13.

Level #3: Vehicle Recovery activated using a remote control:

The Vehicle Recovery process is started by pressing holding the transmitter’s Small Lower Button for 3 seconds, but only if the vehicle’s ignition is on. This is programmable feature #14.

Page 18

UTOMATIC TRANSMITTER VERIFICATION

The patented ATVTM technology, which is standard on all Crime Guard models, is the only defense against an inherent weakness found in any remote-controlled vehicle security system. In all such systems, allowance is made for multiple transmitters to operate the system. In a matter of seconds, anyone familiar with the programming procedure can easily code their own unauthorized transmitter into the system. Although every vehicle remote-controlled keyless entry or security system is susceptible, Crime Guard security systems audibly alerts you if the system’s programming mode has been accessed and visually informs you at all times of the number of remote controls capable of operating your system. Someday this technology will be standard on all remote-controlled keyless entry and security systems; today, only the most advanced systems offer this complete protection.

How It Works:

Audible ATVTM Warning: Anytime the system has a transmitter programmed, for 48 hours thereafter the siren will emit a brief series of chirps every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned on. This audible warning alerts you that the system has had transmitter programming activity. Please note that the audible ATVTM Warning, in addition to the extended Status Indicator Light visual display, will be active for the first 48 after the system is installed.

Visual ATVTM: In normal everyday use, for a period of 10 seconds after the

vehicle’s ignition is turned on, the system’s Status Indicator Light reports the total number transmitters which can operate the system. However, if the ATVTM Warning has been activated, this visual display period is extended to 90 seconds. For example: After turning on the vehicle’s ignition, if the Status Indicator Light flashes twice between pauses, two transmitters are programmed to operate the system. If the indication were three flashes between pauses, three transmitters are capable of operating the system. In the event that the ATVTM Warning is activated, or if the Status Indicator Light a shows different number of authorized transmitters, you can easily reprogram your transmitters to eliminate the threat. (please refer to page 22)

Personal security advisement: Only recently have law enforcement authorities discovered the prevalence of this type of theft, as it is virtually undetectable. In most of these cases, the theft of personal items from the

vehicle has been dismissed as the owner’s failure to lock the vehicle’s doors!

Page 19

PROGRAMMING THE 533i

The Crime Guard 533i3 is a sophisticated, yet flexible security and convenience system. Many of its operations may be configured as the user desires- “Programming Mode” allows you the ability to configure 20 operational features. Another programming level allows you to add transmitters to operate your system, and an additional programming level enables you customize the SecureCode.

Your vehicle ignition key and the Valet Switch are used to enter the Programming Mode, following the three steps listed below. Once in Programming Mode, the Valet Switch is used to access the desired feature, and the transmitter is then used to change the chosen feature’s status. During the process, the siren and the Status Indicator Light indicate certain conditions of Programming Mode and the chosen feature’s status.

Once the system is in Programming Mode, the Valet Switch is then pressed and released the number of times equal to the feature number which is to be accessed for programming. After pressing the Valet Switch as many times as the feature number, the siren will chirp the same number of times and the Status Light will also flash the same number, between pauses.

Once the feature has been selected its status, or setting, can be chosen by pressing the appropriate button on the transmitter. Basically, pressing the transmitter’s Large Upper Button turns the feature on, or pressing the transmitter’s Small Lower Button turns the feature off. Features which are not “on or off” features, such as the alarm duration of 30 or 60 seconds, are noted otherwise.

To Enter Programing Mode:

Step 1: Turn the vehicles’s ignition on. Step 2: Turn the ignition off. Step 3: Within 5 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switch 5 times.

-The siren will chirp then sound briefly and the Status Light will flash to confirm that the system is entering Programing Mode.

-Once in Programming Mode, if 10 seconds of no programming activity occurs, the system will exit Programming Mode. Programming activity is the pressing of the Valet Switch or pressing a transmitter button once a feature is accessed.

To Access a Feature:

Step 4: Within 10 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switch the same

number of times as the desired feature’s number.

-The siren will chirp and the Status Light will flash as many times as the Valet Switch was pressed to indicate the feature number which is now accessed.

To Change a Feature:

Step 5: After accessing the desired feature, within 10 seconds Press &

Release either the transmitter’s Large Upper Button or the Small Lower Button.

-Pressing the Large Upper Button turns the feature on; the siren will chirp once and the Status Light will turn on.

-Pressing the Small Lower Button turns the feature off; the siren will chirp twice and the Status Light will turn off.

To Access and Change further Features:

Step 6: If there are more features to be programmed, within 10 seconds

of the previous action Press & Release the Valet Switch the same number of times as the next desired feature’s number.

-Again the siren will chirp and the Status Light will flash as many times as the Valet Switch was pressed to indicate the new feature number which is now accessed.

-Use the transmitter as described in Step 5 to change the newly accessed feature as desired.

-Repeat this Step 6 for each additional feature until all features are programmed.

To Exit Programing Mode:

Step 7: Allow 10 seconds to pass without performing any programming

actions; or, turn the vehicles’s ignition in.

-The siren will sound briefly and the Status Light will go out to confirm that the system is exiting Programing Mode.

Important Note: Once the system is in Programming Mode, if at any time 10 seconds elapse without programming activity, the system will automatically exit Programming Mode. To prevent the system from prematurely exiting Programming Mode, the feature can entered again by pressing the Valet Switch, or if a feature is accessed, by pressing either of the buttons. Features can be selected in any order as desired.

The following pages explain each of the programmable features in detail, including how to program transmitters and how to customize your system’s SecureCode. Following the features explanation is a convenient feature programming checklist, which greatly simplifies the feature programming process.

THE 533i3’s PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES

Feature #1 Transmitter Programming Mode

The first level in the programmable features menu is Transmitter Programming Mode, by which additional or replacement transmitters can be programmed to operate the system. It is important to note that when a transmitter is programmed into the system, the ATV Warning is activated and all previous transmitter codes in the system’s memory are deleted.

If a third or fourth transmitter is to be added to operate the system, all of the transmitters must be programmed into system's memory at the same time, as the first new transmitter code entered will erase the existing transmitter codes. Therefore, if your system should ever be compromised by the addition of an unauthorized transmitter, the ATV feature will warn you. By simply reprogramming all of your transmitters into the system, the unauthorized transmitter will be erased.

To program a transmitter:

Follow Steps 1 to 4 on page 20; at Step 4 the Valet Switch will be pressed and released one time only. The system’s response will be one siren chirp, and the Status Light flashing one time, pausing, then repeating. Within 10 seconds, press and release the Large Upper Button of the first transmitter. The system confirms “learning” the transmitter’s code chirping the siren once. Repeat this action with each transmitter to be programmed. Only the Large Upper Button of the transmitter needs pressing and release; all of the other transmitter button’s operations will be learned automatically.

To program a transmitter to a “2nd” or “3rd” system:

Up to three Crime Guard systems may be independently operated using a single transmitter. To accomplish this, the transmitter’s button functions are different for each of the vehicles. This prevents Arming or Disarming the multiple systems simultaneously when all are within range of the transmitter. To program a transmitter for 2nd or 3rd systems, when programming press and release either of the small buttons instead of the Large Upper Button. The system will automatically assign the transmitter’s other functions in a different order. The following chart shows button function assignment.

Arm/Disarm Auxiliary Output #2 Auxiliary Output #3

Large Button Small Button Small Button

Small Button Large Button Small Button

Only the “Arm/Disarm” button is pressed when programming.

Feature #2 SecureCode Programming Mode

(Factory Default Setting: 1 Press)

SecureCode is a unique patented feature which allows you to custom select the number of Valet Switch presses which would be required in order to perform an Emergency Override. Instead of “1 press” of the Valet Switch, a customized programming of the SecureCode would require from 2 to 12 presses. If any of the three Vehicle Recovery features are utilized, a customized SecureCode would require that the correct SecurCode entry of Valet Switch be made to cancel the Vehicle Recovery activation.

The “as received” factory default setting of “1 press” is the most convenient, as an Emergency Override will occur instantly when the Valet Switch is pressed, but it is not as secure as a customized setting. When a customized SecureCode has been programmed, the system will disarm a few seconds after the correct entry.

To custom program a new SecureCode:

Follow Steps 1 to 4 on page 20; at Step 4 the Valet Switch will be pressed and released two times. The system’s response will be two siren chirps, and the Status Light flashing twice, pausing, then repeating. Within 10 seconds, press and release the transmitter’s Large Upper Button; the siren will chirp twice to confirm system is ready to accept the new SecureCode entry. Now press and release the Valet Switch the desired number of times. The SecureCode can be programmed for 1 to 12 presses, but the entry must be made within 5 seconds. Wait for the siren to chirp the same number of times as the Valet Switch presses to confirm the new SecureCode entry.

Important: If no additional features need to be programmed, exit Programming

Mode by allowing the 10 second time limit to expire without any further programming activity. Do not exit Programming Mode by turning on the ignition switch.

Feature #3 Chirp Confirmation

(Factory Default Setting On)

This feature allows the permanent removal of the system’s chirping the siren as a audible confirmation when performing functions such as Arming and Disarming. Please note that utilizing this feature to remove the confirmation chirps does not affect siren chirping operations associated with the ATV Warning, sensor prewarning or Programming Mode.
