Introduction
Welcome to the convenience and security offered by your new vehicle security
system. This system is designed and manufactured by Omega Research and
Development, a world leader in vehicle convenience and security since 1975. Your
system offers easy, carefree operation, and the modular design allows its many
impressive features to be customized to suit your needs
Therefore, please note that this guide is written to reflect:
- that a power doorlock interface is installed with your system. This interface may
vary from one vehicle to the other, and in some cases may involve optional
components.
- that the optional electronic siren for the audible output is used in place of the
option of using the vehicle's horn. This Guide's use of "chirp" applies to both.
- the Programmable Features in the default settings; the operations of these
features, if selected otherwise, are also explained in detail.
The addition of an optional sensor also affects the exact operations, as several types
of auxiliary threat-detection sensing devices are available.
This sophisticated, state-of-the-art product deters theft of your vehicle, and its
contents, and can provide remote control convenience in operating the door locks,
trunk release, and engine starting. This system is designed for professional
installation.

Your system has three principal user components: the Remote Transmitter, the
red LED Status Light and the Valet Switch.
The Remote Transmitter: Each system is capable of being operated by up to four
different remote transmitters. The remote transmitter has four push-button switches,
each being labeled as to function. These are:
- The LOCK button arms the security system, which also locks the doors. This
button can also operate an additional "option" output.
- The UNLOCK button disarms the security system, unlocking the doors. This
operation can be configured to unlock the driver's door only upon one press of the
button; then, if desired, all of the doors upon a second press of the button.
- The OPTION button is used to silently arm or disarm the system, and can also
operate an additional remote control function such as trunk release.
- The PANIC button is used to easily engage and disengage the panic feature.
- Pressing both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons together for 2 seconds activates
the remote starting feature.
The Red LED Status Light: Informs you at a glance of the different conditions the
security system is in and also serves as a visual deterrent to break-ins and theft.
The Valet Switch: Is used to access Valet Mode, which allows the operator to
suspend some of the system's normal functions. The valet switch may also be used,
instead of the remote transmitter, to override an armed and activated system.

the system is in a triggered
condition, disarming will not
unlock the doors.
Pressing the PANIC button
for 2 seconds will activate the system; a further
press of this button will deactivate the system,
into the disarmed state. If desired, this button
can be programmed to operate the additional
optional output instead of the panic feature.

Arming and Disarming the System
"Arming" the system locks the doors places the security system into a state in
which the vehicle is monitored for intrusion attempts. There are two different methods
of arming the system: "active" arming by use of the remote transmitter, and automatic,
or "passive" arming, which is programmable.
Active Arming: The system can always be armed with the remote transmitter,
provided the ignition switch is "off" and the system is not in Valet Mode.
Simply press the transmitter LOCK button once. The doors will lock, the parking and
interior lights will flash once, the siren (or vehicle's horn) will chirp once, the LED Status
Light will begin flashing, and the starter interrupt circuit engages to prevent any attempt
to start the vehicle. Three seconds after the chirp the system becomes fully armed,
as indicated by the LED status light changing from a rapid flash to a slow flash. Once
armed, the system will activate if an intrusion attempt is detected. If desired, the
system may be armed without the normal confirmation chirp by pressing and releasing
the transmitter's OPTION button twice within 3 seconds.
Upon active arming, if any protected circuit except for the doors is inoperable, the
system will chirp three times and the parking and interior lights will flash three times.
This is Arming Bypass, and when it occurs, protection for the affected circuit will be
temporarily bypassed. For example, if the trunk is left open, you can still actively arm
Page - 6
the system from the transmitter, but with the indication that a protected circuit is not
secure. After arming, the bypassed circuit will automatically be reinstated for
protection should it become operative, i.e., if the trunk is closed, 3 seconds later
protection of this circuit is restored. When a circuit is in a bypassed state, all other
operating circuits will be protected normally. If desired, this feature may be custom
programmed to also operate if a door is open upon when arming the system with the
transmitter.
Passive Arming: The system can be custom programmed to arm itself
automatically when the vehicle's last door is closed; this is the Last Door Arming
feature. If this feature is programmed to operate, the moment the last open door is
closed the system chirps once and the parking lights flash once to confirm that all
points of entry are closed, and that the arming sequence has begun. The arming period
lasts 30 seconds, and is indicated by a fast-flashing LED status light. Thirty seconds
after the last door was closed, the system will chirp again, and the parking lights will
flash once, confirming completion of the Last Door Arming sequence. Three seconds
later, the LED status light changes to slow flash, and the system is fully armed. If a
point of entry is reopened before the single chirp and parking light flash occurs at 30
seconds, the Last Door Arming sequence stops, but will start over again when the
opened point of entry is closed again. To temporarily prevent the system from Last
Door Arming (example: while vehicle is being refueled), you should put the system into
Valet Mode or leave the vehicle's door open (in most cases,
Page - 7
turning on the dome light will suffice). The "Last Door Arming" feature offers a high
level of security, since you do not have to remember to arm the system each time you
exit from your vehicle, and may qualify you for an insurance discount.
A separate programmable feature may be utilized to have the doors automatically
lock when the 30 second chirp and light flash occurs. The previously mentioned
Arming Bypass feature cannot operate with Last Door Arming; it only works when
actively arming the system from the transmitter because all protected entries must
be closed to initiate Last Door Arming. Of course, you can still arm the system
instantly from the remote transmitter at any time during the 30 second Last Door
Arming sequence.
Disarming: Press and release the remote transmitter's UNLOCK button once to
disarm the system and unlock either the driver's door only, or all of the doors. How
the doors unlock is determined by the installation configuration of the doorlock
interface. Disarming is confirmed by the system chirping twice and the parking and
interior lights turning on for 30 seconds to illuminate the way to your vehicle. During
this 30 second period of illumination, if the ignition switch is turned "on" the lights will
immediately turn off.
If the transmitter is not available or inoperative, the system
must be disarmed by use of the Selectable Code Override,
which is explained in detail on pages 12-14.
Page - 8
However, if the security system was activated while you are away, the disarm
confirmation will be 4 chirps, and the lights will flash 4 times before staying on for 30
seconds. The system will have this disarming response until the ignition switch is
turned "on". Also, anytime the security system has been activated, upon disarming
the LED status light will indicate which of the protected zones caused the activation
by flashing a code of numbered flashes between pauses. Again, this indication
remains until the ignition switch is turned "on".
The system may be disarmed without the normal confirmation chirps by pressing
and releasing the transmitter's OPTION button twice within 2 seconds.
The Armed System
When the system is armed, the LED status light flashes continuously in a slow
and steady manner. In this state, any violation of a protected entry or optional sensor
will instantly activate, or "trigger" the system. If the system is activated:
- The electronic siren will sound. If the horn is used, it will sound repeatedly sound
for one second, then pause for one second. Every ten seconds, the horn will stop
sounding completely for 5 seconds; this prevents the horn from overheating. This
audible output will occur for the duration of the activated cycle. The siren features
six different tones, and every 5 seconds the siren will change the tone to generate
more attention to the vehicle.
- The parking lights will flash on and off repeatedly.
Page - 9
- The doors will relock. If opened, relocking will occur when the door is closed.
The siren or horn will sound and lights will flash for 60 seconds, unless you disarm
the system with the transmitter by pressing the UNLOCK button. If needed, the valet
switch and ignition key may be used to disarm the system (Selectable Coded
Override; pages 12-14). Please note that while the system is activated, pressing the
UNLOCK button will only disarm the system, and not unlock the doors; simply press
UNLOCK again to unlock the doors.
If all protected entries are secure at the end of 60 seconds, the system will stop
itself and rearm automatically to detect another entry attempt. If there is a protected
entry still open, or a sensor still in a violated state at the end of 60 seconds, the system
will reactivate for two more 60 second cycles. If this occurs, the system will still stop
itself after a total of 3 minutes and rearm automatically, and ignore the open entry or
violated sensor circuit while protecting the other circuits. Should the entry be closed
or the sensor return to normal, protection will be reinstated for the affected circuit.
After the security system is activated, the confirmation upon disarming will no
longer be the normal two chirps, and the lights staying on for 30 seconds. Instead,
the system will have 4 chirps and the lights will flash 4 times before staying on for 30
seconds. Additionally, the LED Status Light will change to flashing two to five times
between pauses, indicating which protected zone activated the system. The LED
Status Light will continue flashing this Violation Code until the ignition key is turned
“on”, which resets the protected zone violation memory, erasing the violation codes.

The Valet Switch - Valet Mode and Override
The valet switch, which is typically contained within the same housing as the LED
status light, allows the operator to suspend certain functions of the system's normal
operations. Should the transmitter be unavailable or inoperative, it is also used for
emergency override disarming of an armed and activated system.
These are two separate and distinct operations: the first is Easy ValetTM, whereby
a
disarmed
without use of the ignition key; the second operation is Selectable Code Override,
which will disarm an
key. The valet switch is also used in transmitter and features programming operations,
which are described in later sections of this guide.
Easy Valet
is in the disarmed state. Easy ValetTM is unique because other security systems
require the ignition switch to be "on" to enter Valet Mode, but with this system, the
ignition can be either "on" or "off", so the ignition key is not required.
Whenever the security system is disarmed, simply press and hold the valet switch
for two seconds to enter the Valet Mode. The system will confirm it has entered Valet
Mode with two chirps and the LED status light will illuminate and stay on constantly.
The system will remain in Valet Mode if the ignition is turned "on" or "off", or even if
the system is disconnected from the vehicle's electrical system. This is useful for
servicing the vehicle; unless in a Valet Mode, the security system will activate
system may be placed into an "off" or "standby" condition (Valet Mode)
armed or activated
TM
: This unique feature can be utilized anytime the security system
system and requires the use of the ignition
Page - 11
immediately when power and ground are first applied, such as when reconnecting a
battery.
While in the Valet Mode, the remote transmitters can still operate the panic feature,
the power door locks, or the trunk release, if equipped. Valet Mode prevents the
system's alarm from being armed; using the transmitter to lock the doors still engages
the starter interrupt, resulting in the LED status light flashing in a normal manner as
an indication of this. To subsequently start the vehicle with the key, either the
transmitter must be used to unlock the doors, or valet switch must be used to
disengage the starter interrupt. Additionally, the doors will lock when the ignition is
turned "on" and unlock when it is turned "off"', if the system is programmed to do so.
To remove the system from the Valet Mode, simply momentarily press the valet
switch. The system will instantly revert to the disarmed condition. To confirm that the
system has exited the Valet Mode, the LED status light will be extinguished.
Remember, Easy ValetTM only operates when the system is in a disarmed state - an
armed state, or if the doors are locked from using the transmitter, requires using the
Selectable Code Override.
How to Disarm the System Without Using the Transmitter
Selectable Code Override: In the event the transmitter is lost, damaged, or it
is otherwise inoperable, the valet switch and your ignition key may be used to disarm
the system. Selectable Code Override offers a high level of security because, in
Page - 12
addition to requiring the ignition key, one to two separate stages of pressing the Valet
Switch may also be custom programmed as a requirement to accomplish the
disarming of the system. Each of these stages may be further customized by
programming multiple presses of the valet switch. This programmable feature, which
is explained in detail on pages 32-33, allows you to further enhance the effectiveness
of your security system by "hardening" its resistance to being defeated. The factoryset default for Selectable Code Override is one press at stage 1, and NO press at stage
2; this is the most convenient and user-friendly setting. Therefore, the following stepby-step instructions reflects first the default setting, and then the following text
continues to explain the custom-programmed setting:
Step 1 - While the system in the armed condition, enter via the driver's door. Be
aware that the system will activate when the door is opened, sounding the siren
or horn, flashing the parking and dome lights, and locking the doors if the door
which was entered is closed again before disarming the system.
Step 2 - Using your key, turn the ignition "on". The following step must be
performed within the next 10 seconds.
If the valet switch is pressed an incorrect number of times, or if stage #2 presses
have been programmed, the system will not disarm, but pause and chirp once before
continuing to sound. When a stage #2 entry is required, at this point the stage #2 entry
must be made within 10 seconds. After a failed attempt to achieve Selectable Code
Override, the ignition switch must be turned "off", then "on" again before another
attempt is made. If two failed Selectable Code Override attempts are made, the
system will ignore any further presses of the valet switch for two minutes. If this
occurs, the system will reset to the armed state, then sound the siren or horn twice
after 2 minutes to indicate that another attempt may be made to achieve Selectable
Code Override. See pages 32-33 for further explanation of the Selectable Code
Override; this includes how to program a custom Selectable Code.
Once the system is disarmed, if Valet Mode is desired, use the Easy Valet
procedure to place the system into Valet Mode. Remember, if the Selectable Code
Override factory setting of "stage 1, one valet switch press and stage 2, no valet switch
press" is still present, simply pressing the valet switch once within 10 seconds of
turning the ignition switch "on" will override and disarm the system.
TM
Remote Panic
Step 3 - Momentarily press the valet switch equal to the number programmed for
stage #1; the factory setting is one.
If the factory default setting of 1 and 0 presses is retained, the system will disarm.
The disarming will be accompanied by four chirps.
Page - 13
Pressing and holding the PANIC button for 2 seconds will activate this feature,
sounding the siren or horn, flashing the parking lights, and locking the doors.
After 60 seconds, the system will stop and reset. The car's doors will remain
locked, and the system will remain in the armed condition. If the system was in Valet
Mode when Remote Panic was engaged, the system will be in an armed state if panic
is stopped or if it is allowed to reset at 60 seconds. If you wish to stop the Panic feature
during the 60 second period, press either the PANIC, LOCK or UNLOCK button.
When doing this, pressing PANIC leaves the system armed without a door lock
operation; pressing LOCK to stop panic will leave the system armed with locked doors,
and pressing UNLOCK will leave the system disarmed with unlocked doors. If desired,
the PANIC button may be used to operate the Additional Output; this programmable
feature is described on page 42.
Remote Starting
The remote engine starting feature should not be used when the
vehicle is parked in an enclosed structure or garage!
This unit is designed to be installed on automatic transmission vehicles
Your system offers the ultimate in comfort and convenience- remote engine starting.
This feature allows the vehicle's interior to be warmed in the winter or cooled in the
summer before you enter the vehicle. Simply leave the climate controls set to the
desired settings when leaving the vehicle prior to using the remote starting feature.
only!
Page - 15
Your system includes a Remote Panic feature. In the event of attack or assault,
or any time you feel threatened or in need of assistance, you can use your remote
transmitter to activate this feature. This feature operates regardless of the system's
status, or if the ignition switch is "on" or "off".
Page - 14
The remote starting feature operation is as follows:
1) Press and hold the transmitter's LOCK and UNLOCK buttons for 2 seconds. The
system will respond with one chirp and one parking light flash.
2) The engine will start, after which the system will chirp once more and flash the
parking lights twice. The parking lights will then continue to flash twice between
pauses for the duration of the engine run time.
- When leaving the vehicle before remote starting, remember to set the climate
controls to the desired heating or air conditioning settings.
The engine will run for 10 minutes (the factory-set period). A 20 minute setting may
be programmed, if desired, by referring to the "Programming Features" section. Once
the engine has been remotely started, to remotely stop the engine again press the
transmitter's LOCK and UNLOCK buttons for 2 seconds. The system will stop the
engine, chirp the siren twice and flash the parking and dome lights twice. If desired,
the system's alarm function may be armed or disarmed as needed during remote start
operations (the system must be disarmed before entering the vehicle).
Certain conditions will prevent the engine from remotely starting, or if remotely
started already, will stop the running engine. These conditions are:
1) Pressing the brake pedal.
