Introduction to the System
Congratulations for your choice of the most versatile, fully-featured vehicle security and convenience system available today, by Omega Research and Devel­opment. To enjoy the most from your new system, please take a few moments to learn about the principal user components, and the basic operation of the system. These subjects are found in next several pages, followed by more detailed specifics of complete operations and features.
One of the components, typically mounted on the windshield, is the Window Unit module which contains the Status Lights and the Valet Switch. The window unit also receives and transmits the Echo technology communications for the system’s 2-way operation.
The multicolored Status Lights report the operational status of the system at all times, and also serves as a visual deterrent to break-ins and theft. Specific description of the Status Light operation may be found on pages 20-21.
The Valet Switch has three main functions:
The Valet Switch can be used to turn off the security functions, including any automatic arming or locking features (if used), and/or remote engine starting functions of the system. The former is “Alarm Valet Mode”; the later is “Starting Valet Mode” .
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 or transceiver is lost or becomes inoperable. This is referred to as “performing an Emergency Override”.
The Valet Switch is used in the procedure of programming operational features and also for encoding transmitters and transceivers to the system.
A complete description of the Valet Switch and its operations is on pages 17-19.
The system can operated by two types of devices: the 1-Way Transmitters or the optional 2-Way Controller sold seperately. Your system comes with 1-Way Transmitters pre-learned to operate the system. The transmitter will fully operate the system, but it can not receive signals nor report events from the vehicle like when using the optional 2-Way Controller. Your system can be operated by as many as four controllers and/or transmitters.
The transmitters share the same four operational buttons, and their use to operate the system is the same. These buttons and a brief description of what they do are:
Status Light
Valet
Switch
this is done will the system accept a remote start command, and the vehicle must remain undisturbed until that point. The complete instructions for remote starting, including Stick Shift Remote Starting, starts on page 36. This feature should only be programmed by the installer, and the operation of this feature depends on the correct connection of the safety wire to the vehicle’s parking brake. Please refer to the Installation Instructions manual for proper connection of this wire. Note: Feature #4, Turbo Timer, and Feature #5, Stick Shift Remote Starting, may both be used together in the system.
Feature #6 Engine Detection Method
Default Setting: Tachless Hi Sensitivity (press arm/lock” button to program) Option 1: Tachless Lo Sensitivity (press disarm/unlock” button to program) Option 2: Tach Mode (press II” button to program) Option 3: Datatach Mode (press III” button to program) Option 4: Crank Only (press Lock + Unlock” buttons to program)
This selects how the system monitors the vehicle’s engine during remote start. Important: This feature should only be programmed by the installer.
Tachless- High Sensitivity: This monitors the vehicle’s battery voltage and looks for a 0.3 volt increase, after cranking, to determine if the engine is running. It uses a fixed crank time (determined by feature #7) and will make up to 4 start attempts, increasing the crank time by 0.2 seconds with each attempt.
Tachless- Low Sensitivity: This is the same as the “High Sensitivity” setting but it looks for a 0.5 volt increase to determine if the engine is running.
Tach Mode: This setting is the most accurate way to detect the engine running. It will read the engine’s RPM’s to determine if the engine is running and to determine the appropriate crank time. This mode will crank the starter until the engine reaches the programmed RPM’s for up to 3 seconds. Before using this setting, please
refer to the Violet/White wire’s description on page 11 for proper wiring and refer to the TACH LEARNING procedure on page 12.
Datatach Mode: This operates very much like the “Tach Mode” setting except it reads the engine’s RPM’s from the D2D port on the module by interfacing with the vehicle’s data network. Before using this setting, be sure that the databus interface module being used is capable of this function.
Crank Time Only: This setting provides a “blind start” function where the system will only attempt to start once. It will use the crank time programmed by feature #7. After cranking, the ignitions will stay on for the programmed run time. This setting is useful for some push-to-start vehicles where the starter cranking is delayed from the starter output on this system. These vehicles automatically determine the proper crank time and already monitor the engine’s running condition making it unnecessary for this system to do so.

Feature #3 Horn Relay Functions
Factory Default Setting Horn Output
(press arm/lock” button to program)
Options: Door Unlock (press disarm/unlock” button to program) Ignition Output (press “II” button to program) Accessory Output (press “III” button to program)
This is the second of two built-in relays which can be programmed to perform several different functions. The primary function of this second relay, is that it is available to operate the vehicle’s existing horn; either in conjunction with the electronic siren, or in place of the siren. Using both the siren and the horn creates an extremely effective security system.
Optionally, if desired or needed, this relay can be programmed to be a door
unlock relay, or as additional medium-capacity ignition or accessory outputs, if needed for remote starting use.
Feature #4 Turbo Timer
Factory Default Setting Off
(press arm/lock” button to program)
Options: Run 1 Minute (press disarm/unlock” button to program) Run 2 Minutes (press “II” button to program) Run 3 Minutes (press “III” button to program)
This feature, the operation of which is described on page 16, when turned on configures the system to automatically keep the engine running briefly after it is turned off. This operation is designed specifically for vehicles having turbocharged engines (the user may temporarily bypass the feature if desired). This feature should only be programmed by the installer, and the operation of this feature depends on the correct connection of the safety wire to the vehicle’s parking brake. Please refer to the Installation Instructions manual for proper connection of this wire.
Feature #5 Stick Shift Remote Starting
Factory Default Setting Off (press disarm/unlock” button to program) Option: On (press arm/lock” button to program)
This feature changes the parameters of the system’s remote start operation to be suitable for manual transmission-equipped vehicles via a “setup” procedure which must be followed upon exiting the vehicle. When this feature is turned on, the operator must set the parking brake and then press the transmitter’s “III” button twice, which keeps the engine running after removing the ignition key. After exiting, the user must then arm the system, locking the vehicle doors, by pressing the “arm/ lock” button. Only after

This system is the most versatile vehicle security system made. It has many programmable features and includes built-in program­mable relays, which can offer more features and operations which are described in the basic system instructions. To a large degree, these extra features and operations are config­ured at the installation of the system. Please read the sections of this manual which explain programmable features, and please consult your installer for specifics on how your system is config­ured, and for installation options which may have used, or can be added to system after installation. EXAMPLE- the system can sound the vehicle’s horn in place of or in addition to the electronic siren which is included with it. But the operations are described with the siren only.
The CG-810i6 is capable of having the optional Omega “Echo” added to it, which would add 2-way control and confirmation paging. In this case, the CG-810i6’s operations would be identical to that of the CG-830i6. If the Echo is added, the instructions included with the Echo kit would then supplement this instruction booklet.
The first setting (programmed by the “arm/lock” button) has the system produce both the lock and unlock outputs as .8 second in duration. This is the most common form of output needed, which interfaces most vehicles.
The second setting (programmed by the “disarm/unlock” button) changes the lock and unlock outputs to be a longer 3 second pulse output. This is for certain vehicles which require a longer output pulse from the system’s control unit; typically cars having vacuum pump systems, although the longer setting is also more suitable in some newer vehicles.
Some newer vehicles require a double pulse output to remotely unlock the doors and/or to disarm a factory-equipped security system, which is what the Double Pulse Unlock setting provides (it is programmed by the “II” button ). The lock output pulse, in this setting, is .8 second.
The Total Closure Lock Output (programmed by the “III” button) may be used with vehicles which are originally equipped with the total-closure feature. Typically, a total closure feature is when locking the vehicle’s doors if the key in the door is held to “lock” for a period of time the vehicle will close all windows and the sunroof, in addition to locking the doors. Selecting this feature setting changes the system’s door lock output pulse from a .8 second to as long as a 28 second duration output. The unlock output is 3 seconds in this setting.
Note: When this feature is turned on, during the 28 second period after arm­ing the system, the lock output can be stopped on demand by pressing the “arm/lock” or “disarm/unlock” button. Only the output will stop- pressing either button again will normally operate the system, and at any time after the
28 second lock output period ends. If either of the programmable relays are set for lock or unlock operation (the next two Installer Programmable Features), the settings if this feature will operate the programmable relays accordingly, in addition to the primary system doorlocking outputs.

Feature #2 Light Relay Functions
Factory Default Setting Dome Light Output
(press arm/lock” button to program)
Options: Door Lock (press disarm/unlock” button to program) Ignition Output (press “II” button to program) Accessory Output (press “III” button to program)
The system has two built-in relays, which can be programmed to perform several different functions. The primary function of this relay, is to operate the vehicle’s dome, or interior lighting as part of the system’s operations. Optionally, if desired or needed, this relay can be programmed to be a door lock relay, or as medium-capacity ignition or accessory outputs, if needed for remote starting use.

The Installer Programmable Features
Installer Programmable Features should only be used by the original or other qualified installer, AND individual Installer Features should only be used, where applicable, with the correct wiring connections.
The second group of features, the Installer Programmable Features, are accessed as the second level of features’ programming, which is pressing the Valet Switch 10 times instead of 5 times when entering Programming Mode (page 24). Caution:
These features have a critical affect upon the system’s operations, and in many cases, also upon the system’s wiring connections. These features should NEVER be changed, except by the installer or other qualified professional.
The companion Installation Instructions booklet should be consulted for wiring connections associated with these features.

Using the System
Your system is designed to deter theft of both your vehicle and its contents. “Arming” your system turns on the protection, disabling the vehicle’s starter and locking the doors. Once the system is Armed, any intrusion attempt will Activate it, sounding the electronic “Psyren” psycho siren and flashing the parking and interior lights to attract attention. The unique and patented “2-in-1” Psyren psycho siren actually produces the sounds of two different sirens at once, ensuring that it won’t be ignored like all of the other “common” car alarms. Disarming the system turns off the protection, unlocking the doors and turning on the parking and interior lights, allowing lighted access to, and normal use of, the vehicle.
There are two methods of arming the system: 1- The first method is to use the transmitter, by pressing and releasing the
arm/lock” button. The system must not already be armed or be in Valet Mode, and the vehicle’s ignition key must be off. 2- The second method is Last Door Arming, which configures the system to automatically arm itself every time you exit the vehicle. This method of arming is programmable, and may be used or not used as desired.
Arming Using the Transmitter
The system can always be armed from the transmitter, if the ignition key is “off” and the system is not in the Valet Mode. To arm the system, exit the vehicle, close all of the doors, and simply press and release the “arm/lock” button once.
The system’s reaction: The parking and interior lights will flash once, the siren will chirp once and the Status Light will begin to flash red, confirming that the system is armed.* In addition, the doors will lock and the starter interrupt will engage to prevent any attempt to start the vehicle. Your security system is now fully armed, and is ready to respond if an intrusion attempt is detected.
*The system is described in its most common and basic configuration, with doorlocks connected, and the interior lights must be connected. The vehicle horn may used in place of, or in addition to, the system’s electronic siren.
Page - 7
Page 8
The system’s separate “arm/lock” and “disarm/unlock” button design allows repetitive operation- if already armed, pressing the “arm/lock” button will simply rearm the system, and vice versa when pressing the “disarm/unlock” button.
Option: On (press arm/lock” button to program)
When this feature is turned on, if one of the vehicle's doors is open at the time that the system is armed via the transmitter, the siren will chirp 3 times and the parking lights will flash 3 times instead of once.
Arming Bypass: Upon arming, if any system sensing circuit is inoperable, that circuit only will automatically be bypassed. When an unsecured sensing circuit is in a bypassed state, all other normally operating circuits will be protected. Should the bypassed circuit become secured, it will automatically be reinstated for protection 5 seconds later. When certain protection circuits are bypassed, such as the hood/trunk and impact sensor, and the system is armed, it will indicate this by chirping the siren three time and flashing the parking lights three times instead of the normal arming indication of one chirp and one flash.
For example, should the trunk be open, you can still arm the system with the transmitter, and in this case the arming indicator will be 3 siren chirps and 3 parking light flashes. Arming Bypass will only operate when arming the system with the transmitter.
Sensor Bypass: When arming the system with the transmitter, you may
conveniently and easily temporarily deactivate the impact sensor without affecting the system’s other sensing circuits. To deactivate the sensor, arm the system by pressing the “arm/lock” button, then press and release the transmitter’s “II” button within three seconds. You will hear a second siren chirp confirming that the security system has armed without the sensor protecting the vehicle. The next time the system is armed normally with one “arm/lock” button press, the sensor will again be part of your protection.
Automatic “Last Door Arming” of the System
The system can also be programmed to automatically arm itself, and in this process, to lock or not lock the doors. When this feature is utilized, closing the vehicle's last door will cause the siren to chirp once, the parking and interior lights to flash once and the Status Light to start rapidly flashing red. Thirty seconds later the siren will chirp again and the lights will flash again, the doors will lock (which is separately programmable) and the Status Light will slow to a steady red flash, confirming that the security system is fully armed. If a point of entry is reopened before the single siren chirp at 30 seconds, the Last Door Arming process stops, and will reset to start over when the point of entry is again closed. All protected entries
Feature #21 Remote Start Activation
Factory Default Setting “III” button 2 times in 5 seconds
(press arm/lock” button to program)
Options:
IIIbutton 1 time (press disarm/unlock” button to program)
Lock & Unlock (press “II” button to program)
This feature changes how the remote start feature is activated using the transmitter.
Feature #22 Remote Start Run Time
Factory Default Setting 10 Minutes
(press disarm/unlock” button to program)
Options: 5 Minutes (press arm/lock” button to program) 15 Minutes (press “II” button to program) 20 Minutes (press to program)
This feature sets the period of time that the engine will run after being remotely started. If the engine is not stopped by a transmitter command or a safety circuit violation, the engine will automatically stop upon the expiration of the selected time period. Caution: The remote engine starting feature should NEVER be used
when the vehicle is parked in an enclosed structure or garage.
Feature #23 Steady/Flashing Lights During Remote Start
Factory Default Setting Steady (press arm/lock” button to program) Option: Flashing (press disarm/unlock” button to program)
This Feature configures the system's operation of the vehicle’s parking lights when the engine is running after it has been remotely started. The factory default setting has the parking lights illuminating steady during the engine run time; the other setting flashes the parking lights on and off during the engine run time.

applications is being used to sound the vehicle’s existing horn. This feature changes only the primary audible output, so that it can be utilized to sound the existing horn by itself. This is for cases when the programmable relay is desired for other features, such as unlocking the doors, or as an additional ignition or accessory output should it be needed for the remote starting operation.
The Steady Siren setting is exactly that- a steady output which the electronic siren requires. When programming this feature for using the output for the vehicle’s horn, the optional setting produce pulsed output on the system’s siren wire, in three different pulse timings, which allow a degree of customization of the horn’s sound during the alarm activation.
Feature #16 Alarm Functions Bypass
Factory Default Setting Off (press disarm/unlock” button to program) Option: On (press arm/lock” button to program)
This feature converts the system into a strictly Remote Keyless Entry System by eliminating all antitheft alarm-oriented operations and features. When this feature is programmed on, the system has remote keyless entry and engine starting opera­tion only.
Feature #17 Ignition Activated Anti-Carjacking Protection
Factory Default Setting Off (press disarm/unlock” button to program) Option: On (press arm/lock” button to program)
This form of Anti-Carjacking is initiated by the ignition key being turned on. The Anti-Carjacking protection, and the three ways to initiate it are described on page
20.
Feature #18 Door Activated Anti-Carjacking Protection
Factory Default Setting Off (press disarm/unlock” button to program) Option: On (press arm/lock” button to program)
This form of Anti-Carjacking is initiated by a door being opened. The Anti­Carjacking protection, including the three ways to initiate it are described on page
20.
Feature #19 Remote Activated Anti-Carjacking Protection
Factory Default Setting Off (press disarm/unlock” button to program) Option: On (press arm/lock” button to program)
This form of Anti-Carjacking is initiated by a signal from the transmitter. The Anti­Carjacking protection, including the three ways to initiate it are described on page

must be closed to initiate the Last Door Arming sequence. To temporarily prevent the system from automatically Last Door Arming, you have these options: put the system into Alarm Valet Mode (page 17), leave the door open, or, in most cases turning on the dome light may cause the system to detect that your door is still open. Leaving the ignition key turned "on" is not recommended.
Last Door Arming offers a high level of security, since you do not have to remember to arm the security system every time you leave the vehicle, and using it may entitle you to an insurance discount (please check with your agent or carrier).
While the System is Armed, and should it Trigger
While the security system is armed, the Status Light flashes red in color. Should any intrusion attempt be detected, the system will instantly activate, or "trigger". Once triggered, the system loudly sounds the siren and flashes the parking and interior lights on and off.
When it is first triggered, the Status Light changes its red flash pattern, and the doors will automatically relock. Should a door be open when the system triggers, it will wait until the door is closed, and at that time relock the doors. The automatic relocking of the doors denies access to the thief, and is just one of the many exclusive patented features of the system. The siren will sound and the parking and interior lights will flash for 30 seconds unless you disarm the system first (60, 90 and 120 seconds activated periods are options- see Feature #11, page 30). If all protected entries are secure at the end of the 30 seconds, the system will stop and rearm itself, ready to detect further entry attempts. If there is a protected entry still open or the impact sensor still in a violated state at the end of 30 seconds, the system will reactivate for two more 30 second cycles. In this case the system will stop after a total of 3 cycles and rearm automatically, and then ignore only the open entry or violated sensor. When the entry is closed or the sensor is reset, protection will begin instantly for the formerly affected circuit.
Anytime the security system triggers, the Status Light will indicate which protected zone triggered the system by flashing two, three or four times between pauses, in the red color which indicates “alarm” operations. This “Zone Violation” code will continue to flash, even after disarming. The system can hold two different violation codes in it's memory, which is cleared by turning the ignition switch "on". Once the system has been activated and reset, the disarming confirmation changes to make the user aware that it has done so.
When triggered, the alarm condition can be stopped instantly by pressing either of these transmitter buttons:
Feature #20 Open Door Warning Upon Arming
Factory Default Setting Off (press disarm/unlock” button to program)

• Pressing “arm/lock” will rearm the system, stopping the system’s alarm
condition (leaving it armed)
Page - 9
Page 10
• Pressing “disarm/unlock” will disarm the system, leaving the doors locked,
stopping both system’s alarm condition (leaving it disarmed) Pressing the
button a second time unlocks the doors. Multi-vehicle mode: If the controller is set for CAR1 and CAR2 is triggered, the
controller will temporarily switch to CAR2 and alert you of the violation. It will switch back to CAR1 5 seconds after pressing any button to acknowledge the violation.
Prewarning Detection Circuit: When the sensor is triggered by a light impact or shock to the vehicle, the security system will respond by chirping the siren 3 times and locking the doors. After this Prewarning circuit has been triggered five times it will automatically shutdown until the alarm system is disarmed, then armed.
Disarming the System
There are two methods of disarming the system: 1- The primary method is to use the transmitter by pressing and
releasing its “disarm/unlock” button. This is the normal “daily use” method. 2- The second method is an “Emergency Override” alternative, should the
transmitter become lost or inoperable. This method uses the Valet
Switch, but the vehicle’s ignition key is also required.
Disarming the System Using
the Transmitter
Press and release the transmitter “disarm/unlock” button once to instantly
disarm the system, disengaging the starter interrupt and unlock the doors. If you have the optional unlock driver's door feature installed, then upon disarming only the driver's door will unlock, and if the “disarm/unlock” button is pressed again at anytime thereafter, all of the doors will unlock.
The system’s reaction: Disarming is confirmed by the siren chirping twice, the Status Light turning off, and the parking lights flashing twice, then with the interior lights illuminating for 30 seconds for approach illumination. The lights will turn off instantly if the ignition switch is turned "on" before the 30 seconds expires.
Page - 10
Feature #12 Parking Light Illumination Upon Disarm
Factory Default Setting On (press arm/lock” button to program) Option: Off (press disarm/unlock” button to program) This feature affects the parking light operation when the system is disarmed. When
this feature is turned on, the parking lights flash once, and then turn back on for external illumination for 30 seconds unless the ignition key is turned on during that time. If this feature is turned off, the parking lights flash once only, and do not illuminate. This feature only affects the system’s parking light operation, and not the interior light operation.
Feature #13 2nd Channel Also Disarms System
Factory Default Setting On (press arm/lock” button to program) Option: Off (press disarm/unlock” button to program)
“2nd channel” is most commonly used to remotely open the vehicle’s trunk, in which case the alarm should also disarm. This feature, turned on, configures the system to disarm when the 2nd channel is used. If turned off, the 2nd channel output will still occur, but without chirps or parking light flashes; and if armed, the system will not disarm.
Feature #14 3 or 45 Second Arming Delay
Factory Default Setting 3 Seconds
(press arm/lock” button to program)
Options: 15 Seconds (press disarm/unlock” button to program) 30 Seconds (press “II” button to program)
45 Seconds (press “III” button to program)
When the system is armed, whether by the transmitter or by an automatic feature, there is a brief period of time in which a system activation, or alarm, cannot occur. This Arming Delay allows the system to completely process its sensory parameters, which can include the vehicle to stabilize. In some cases more time is needed than the factory-set 3 seconds, and this feature offers three longer delay options.
Feature #15 Steady Siren or Pulsed Horn
Factory Default Setting Steady Siren
(press arm/lock” button to program)
Options: Pulsed Horn Low (press disarm/unlock” button to program) Pulsed Horn Medium (press “ II” button to program) Pulsed Horn High (press “III” button to program)
It is important to understand that the system has a primary audible output, for the electronic siren; and that it also has a programmable relay which among its
Page - 31
Page 11
Off (press disarm/unlock” button to program) Chirps Excepting Valet Mode (press “II” button to program) Chirps in Valet Mode Only (press “III” button to program)
This feature removes the system’s 1 arming and 2 disarming confirmation chirps. When this feature is used to remove these chirps, the system will still have 3 chirps upon arming if a protected zone is violated, and still have 4 chirps upon disarming if the system was previously activated. Using this feature to turn off the arm and disarming chirps will also not affect the Prewarning operation, Unauthorized Transmitter Alert (if used), nor will it affect the chirps used when programming.
The other two settings will have the confirmation chirps operate only when the system is in Valet Mode, and not otherwise; or, the chirps will operate except when the system is in Valet Mode.
Feature #10 Confirmation Chirp Volume
Factory Default Setting Medium High
(press “II” button to program)
Options: Low (softest) (press arm/lock” button to program) Medium Low (press disarm/unlock” button to program) High (loudest) (press “III” button to program)
This feature allows the choice of four different volume levels of the system’s confirmation chirps, and when programming it, the buttons can be repeatedly and sequentially pressed, thus making it easy to hear and choose the setting with the best chirp volume.
This feature operates regardless of how feature #15, “Steady Siren” or “Pulsed Horn” is set. Feature #15 sets “Steady”; or “Pulsed” as three different timings, for the activated alarm period output. This feature, #10, affects only the confirmation chirps.
Feature #11 Alarm Duration
Factory Default Setting 30 Seconds
(press arm/lock” button to program)
Options: 60 Seconds (press disarm/unlock” button to program) 90 Seconds (press “II” button to program)
120 Seconds (press “III” button to program)
This feature allows four choices of the Alarm Duration, which is the period of time for which the system sounding the siren (and/or horn, optionally) and flashes the parking lights when it is triggered. Caution: Before lengthening the Alarm
Duration you should always check and determine if there are any local anti­noise or nuisance ordinances in your area, to avoid the possibility of receiving a violation citation.
Page - 30
If the system was activated and reset itself: The disarming confirmation will
no longer be 2 siren chirps, and the parking lights flashing twice before staying on with the interior lights. Instead, the system will respond with 4 siren chirps and the parking and interior lights flashing 4 times before staying on for 30 seconds. The Status Light will change to flashing two to four times in red between pauses as a “Zone Violation” code to indicate which protection circuit triggered the system (2 flashes, hood/trunk; 3 flashes, doors; 4 flashes , impact sensor). These special audible and visual disarming indications, and Zone Violation code, will remain this way until the ignition key is turned “on”.
Safety Disarm/Storm Mode: While the system is activated, i.e. sounding the siren and flashing the lights, pressing the “disarm/unlock” button will disarm the system, but not unlock the doors. This safety feature ensures that the vehicle remain secure should the system require disarming due to being activated from nuisance or malicious false sensory inputs, such as typically produced by severe weather conditions. To remotely unlock the doors if the system is disarmed while activated, simply repeat the disarm operation by pressing and releasing the “disarm/unlock” button again. If disarmed from a panic mode, the normal disarm indications are present, including the unlocking of the doors.
Automatic Rearming Feature: 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 system’s extended range. Automatic Rearming has the alarm rearm itself 90 seconds after it is has been disarmed,
unless a vehicle door is opened and the ignition key turned on. Automatic Rearming is confirmed by a fast flashing Status Light after the disarming, unless the system was triggered, in which case a Zone Violation code will flash instead.
During the 90 second period, Automatic Rearming can be paused by opening the door or stopped completely by turning the ignition key "on". Also, Automatic Rearming can be cancelled by the Safety Disarm/Storm Mode feature; if the system is disarmed while triggered, Automatic Rearming will not occur.
Disarming the System by Emergency Override
Should the transmitter become lost, damaged, or its batteries become exhausted, the Valet Switch
Step 1 With the system in the armed condition, enter the vehicle via the driver's
and the vehicle’s ignition key may be used to disarm the system:
door (be aware that the alarm will trigger when the door is opened).
Page - 11
Page 12
Step 2 Using the ignition key, turn the vehicle’s ignition switch on. Step 3 Within 5 seconds press and release the Valet Switch one time. The system
will disarm.
The number of Valet Switch presses which are required for the Emergency Override is custom-programmable! This is the SecureCode feature, which is described on pages 19 & 20. The above Emergency Override instructions reflect the “as received from the factory” default setting.
Remote Panic Feature
Should you feel threatened, or the need to attract attention, you can activate your
system's remote “Panic” feature at any time by pressing and holding for 3 seconds the transmitter’s “arm/lock”, the “disarm/unlock” button. Your system will respond by sounding the siren and flashing the parking lights for the normal activated alarm period of 30 seconds. Additionally, the system features an unique “enhanced” remote Panic operation, regarding additional operations during Panic, and in association with the transmitter button used in it’s activation or deactivation:
Activating Panic with the “arm/lock” button will lock the doors, arm the
system and engage the starter interrupt.
Activating it with the “disarm/unlock” button will unlock the doors, disarm
the system and does not engage the starter interrupt.
To disengage remote Panic, simply press and release any one of the same two transmitter buttons, or, allow it automatically stop after 30 seconds.
Deactivating Panic with the “arm/lock” button will stop Panic, and leave the
system armed with the starter interrupt engaged, and the doors locked.
Deactivating it with the “disarm/unlock” button will stop Panic, and leave the
system disarmed with the starter interrupt disengaged, and the doors unlocked.
If the system is allowed reset itself from remote Panic, it will enter the armed state, locking the doors and engaging the starter interrupt, regardless of which of the three buttons was used to activate it.
Feature #6 Doors Lock With Ignition On
Factory Default Setting On (press arm/lock” button to program) Option: Off (press disarm/unlock” button to program)
This feature configures the system to automatically lock the vehicle’s doors every time that the ignition switch is turned on. An exception to this would be if feature #8 is turned on, and a door being open when the ignition switch is turned on. The following feature #7 controls the automatic unlocking operations, and feature #8 provides for an override of this automatic locking if a door is open when the ignition is turned on.
Feature #7 Doors Unlock With Ignition Off
Factory Default Setting On (all doors will unlock)*
(press “III” button to program)
Options: Off (press arm/lock” button to program) Driver’s Door Only* (press disarm/unlock” button to program) All Doors Except Driver’s Door* (press “II” button to program)
Similar to the previous locking feature, except this feature controls the unlock operations when the ignition is turned off, and it has more options because of the system’s multiple unlocking outputs.
*Multiple unlock outputs offer the capability of unlocking only the driver’s
door when the system is disarmed (Driver Door Priority Unlocking), and then the option of unlocking all doors with a second press of the “disarm/unlock” button.
The driver’s door unlocking differently from the other doors must be config­ured when the system is installed!
If the system is installed without the Driver’s Door Priority Unlocking interface, this feature unlocks all of the doors when the ignition switch is turned off. If Driver’s Door Priority Unlocking is installed, this feature can control only the driver’s door unlocking when the ignition is turned, all doors unlocking, or all doors except the driver’s. The following feature provides for an override of this automatic unlocking if a door is open when the ignition is turned off.
Feature #8 Open Door Bypass of Ignition Locking
Factory Default Setting On (press arm/lock” button to program) Option: Off (press disarm/unlock” button to program)
This feature cancels the automatic locking or unlocking of the vehicle’s doors should one of the doors is open when the ignition switch is turned on or off.

Feature #3 Automatic Rearming
Factory Default Setting Off
(press arm/lock” button to program)
Options: On without doors locking (press disarm/unlock” button to program)
On with doors locking (press “II” button to program)
“Automatic Rearming”, described on page 11, prevents the system from becoming accidentally disarmed by having it arm itself after being disarmed, if a door is not then opened or the ignition turned on. Options are to have Automatic Rearming operate with or without also locking the doors when the system does rearm.
Feature #4 Starter Interrupt Functions
Factory Default Setting Alarm Only
(press arm/lock” button to program)
Options: Off (press disarm/unlock” button to program) Automatic (press “II” button to program) Alarm & Anti-Grind (press “III” button to program)
This feature controls the Starter Interrupt circuit, in several ways. In its default setting, “Alarm Only”, the Starter Interrupt is operable whenever the alarm is armed. The Starter Interrupt can also be used to prevent the accidental grinding of the starter, by trying to start the vehicle when it is already running by remote starting (as when the ignition key is turned to “run” to drive the vehicle).
The “Automatic” option will cause the Starter Interrupt output to automati-
cally engage 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned "off", and also 90 sec- onds after disarming the system. This automatic engagement will occur even if the security system is in a disarmed state, but not if it is in Valet Mode. Once the Starter Interrupt output is activated, the system must be armed, then disarmed with the transmitter, or placed into the Valet Mode by pressing and holding the Valet Switch for 2 seconds to disengage it. There are no Status Light indications with this automatic form of Starter Interrupt.
Programming this feature off completely eliminates the Starter Interrupt out-
put, while leaving all other system operations fully functional.
Feature #5 Ignition Activated Override
Factory Default Setting Off (press disarm/unlock” button to program) Option: On (press arm/lock” button to program)
This feature allows an activated system to be overridden and disarmed by simply turning the ignition switch on within 10 seconds of the system’s activation. After 10 seconds, the Emergency Override must be performed or the transmitter “dis- arm/unlock” button can be used to disarm the system.

Remote Engine Starting
The remote engine starting feature should not be used when
the vehicle is parked in an enclosed structure or garage!
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.
The following pages explain the remote engine starting operations. If the vehicle has a manual transmission, a special procedure is required when exiting the vehicle to enable the ability to remote start. Otherwise, the actual activation of remote start is the same for automatic or manual transmission vehicles.
When leaving the vehicle before remote starting, remember to set the climate
controls to the desired heating or air conditioning settings.
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).
How to Activate Remote Starting
Pressing and releasing the “III” button 2 times in 5 seconds will activate the Remote start if configured to do so.
The system’s reaction: The system will respond first by rapidly flashing the Status Light in green color, then by turning on the ignition and flashing the parking lights once. Then the starter will engage until the engine runs; 10 seconds later the parking lights will illuminate steady during the period that the engine is running from being remotely started. (having them flash instead is an option). The engine will run for 10 minutes (the factory-set period). Other time periods may be programmed, if desired, by referring to the “Programming Features” section. At any time during during remote start mode you can press the remote start button again to restart the engine run timer. To remotely stop it press and release the transmitter’s remote start command again. The system will stop the engine, and extinguish the parking lights.
Should the engine fail to start on the first attempt, the system will subsequently make as many as three further attempts, as needed. Please note that each starting attempt takes approximately 20 seconds for the system to check the vehicle’s status, cycle the ignition and starter circuits, and then monitor vehicle status again before the next attempt.

Page 14
To drive the vehicle away after remote starting, disarm the system (if needed) open the door to enter the vehicle, insert the key into the ignition switch and turn the switch to “on” or “run” position (not “start”!). Then press the brake pedal or remove the gear selector from “park”; now the engine is no longer running from the system, but rather from the ignition key. To indicate this, the system will briefly sound the siren. Pressing the Valet Switch will also turn off the system’s running the engine, but without the violated safety circuit siren sounding.
Safety Features: Certain conditions will prevent the engine from remotely starting, or if remotely started already, will stop the running engine. These conditions are:
A pressed brake pedal.
The gear selector not being in the “park” or “neutral” position, or alternatively, the parking brake not being set.
An open hood.
If manual transmission, the vehicle was entered or disturbed after the setup procedure was performed.
An open door will not prevent the system from starting the engine; if the engine has already been remotely started, opening a door will not stop the running engine, unless the system is armed. Opening a door with the engine running by remote control and the system armed will result in activating the system, which will stop the running engine.
If a start command is sent from the transmitter, but any of the following conditions are present, the system will not attempt to start the engine and will instead have a short sounding of the siren to indicate a violated safety circuit. The violated safety circuit conditions which can produce this indication are the gear selector not in the “park” position, an open hood or trunk, or a pressed brake pedal.
Feature #1 SecureCode
Factory Default Setting 1 Press Options: 1 to 9 presses, in each of two stages
SecureCode is a unique patented feature which allows you to custom select the number of Valet Switch presses in two stages, instead of a single “1 press”, which would be required in order to perform an Emergency Override. If any of the three anti-carjacking features are utilized, a customized SecureCode would also be required to turn it off once it is fully activated. The SecureCode operation is described on page 19.
To custom program a new SecureCode:
Step 1 Follow Steps 1 to 4 in the previous “How to Program Features” instruc-
tions; at Step 4 the Valet Switch will be pressed and released once (the siren chirps once) to access “feature #1”.
Step 2 Within 10 seconds slowly press and release the transmitter’s
arm/lock” button the number of times equal to the desired SecureCode for stage 1, allow the system to respond to each transmitter button press with a siren chirp before pressing the button again.
Step 3 After entering the first stage by pressing the “arm/lock” button the
desired number of times, and receiving a chirp for each press, wait for the system, after the final button press, to chirp the siren again the total number of times that the button was pressed.
Step 4 Continue to configure stage 2 of the SecureCode by now pressing and
releasing the “disarm/unlock” button the number of times desired for the stage 2. This should be done in the exact same fashion as the stage 1 entry­press the “disarm/unlock” button, wait for a single chirp before pressing the button again, and then when final button press is done, wait after the single chirp for the siren to chirp the total number entered Valet Switch entry.
“Stick Shift” Remote Starting Setup Procedure:
When the system is in-
stalled into a manual transmission vehicle, Installer Programmable Feature #5 must be turned on. Then, whenever remote starting will be desired at a later time thefollowing procedure must be performed before exiting the vehicle:
Step 1 With the engine running and foot on the brake, apply the parking brake, put
the transmission shifter in “neutral”, and remove your foot from the brake.

Feature #2 Last Door Arming
Factory Default Setting Off
(press arm/lock” button to program)
Options: On without doors locking (press disarm/unlock” button to program)
On with doors locking (press “II” button to program)
“Last Door Arming” has the system automatically arm itself every time you exit the vehicle (the complete operation is described on pages 8 & 9). This feature turns that operation on or off, and with options of having Last Door Arming operate with or without also locking the doors when the system does arm.

Each of the Programmable Features is described in detail in the following pages. The User Programmable Features are described as a first group, and the Installer Programmable Features as a second group. It is important to note that programmable features affect the exact operation of the system, and that the descriptions of any features utilized should be used to supplement the basic system operations which were described in previous sections of this booklet.
The User Programmable Features
This group of User Programmable Features are all accessed as a group in the first level of features’ programming. These features have a direct affect upon the system’s operations, so the programming and operation of each are described.

Step 2 Press and release the transmitter “III” button twice (same as activating
remote start). The Status Light will begin flashing green, as the system is now keeping the engine running. Do not press the brake pedal from this point, and the parking brake must remain on.
Step 3 Within 2 minutes, turn off the ignition key, exit the vehicle and then press
the transmitter’s “arm/lock” button to lock the vehicle. The alarm will also arm, and the previously running engine will stop. The Status Light also changes to show the “armed” indication, flashing slowly red, but every fourth flash will be green, indicating that the system is “armed, and ready for remote starting”.
From this point, the vehicle may be remote started provided that it is not
disturbed. When ready to remote start, the activation of remote starting is the same as previously described: press and release the transmitter’s “III” button twice.
During the setup procedure, the parking brake must remain set, and the regular
brake pedal must not be pressed. After exiting the vehicle, the transmitter’s “arm/ lock” button only must be used to secure the vehicle. Using any other transmitter button will produce the appropriate system response, but the remote starting setup will be voided.
Once the system is fully setup for remote starting, it will start the engine if the next transmitter operation is activating remote start. If any other transmitter button is pressed the remote starting setup will be voided. If the armed alarm should be triggered during this period, the remote starting setup condition will be voided.
Pit-Stop Feature: This feature allows you to turn off the ignition switch, re­move your keys, leave the vehicle and lock your doors while leaving the engine running. To use this feature, have the engine running normally from the ignition switch, have the gear selector in “park”, and your foot off of the brake pedal. Press the Valet Switch twice; the parking lights will flash once and the siren chirps 5 times; then turn the ignition off. The engine will remain running for the pro­grammed run time, or it will turn off if another transmitter signal is received, a safety circuit is violated, or if the Valet Switch is pressed.
This feature may be used anytime; it does not have to be specially programmed to operate.

Page 16
Low Voltage and Low Temperature Starting Feature: This feature will
automatically start the engine should the vehicle battery voltage drop to 11 volts or temperature drop to 15 or 32 degrees fahrenheit. This feature is very useful if the vehicle is parked unattended for a long period of time. These features must be activated each time you wish to use them, as follows:
Turn the ignition switch “on”, then “off” (engine not running), and within 7 seconds press the valet button 2 times. If there is a 2 second delay without further valet presses, the system will enter low voltage start mode and confirm with 3 chirps. The system is now in low voltage start mode.
If the valet switch is pressed 1 time (15 degrees fahrenheit) -Or- 2 times (32
degrees fahrenheit) within 5 seconds, it will chirp 1 or 2 times to indicate the selected temperature; low temp start is now active.
NOTE: When low temp start is activated, low voltage start stays on. Low voltage and low temperature start modes will operate until the ignition key is turned “ON” again and will activate a maximum of once every two hours.
T urbo Timer Feature: It is typically recommended that vehicles equipped with turbocharged engines allow the engine to idle for a few minutes before turning it off. When this Installer Programmable Feature is programmed on, the system will automatically keep the engine running as follows:
With the engine running, hold the brake pedal and engage the parking brake.
When the brake pedal is released, the system will keep the engine running for the selected time, and then automatically turn it off.
This feature must be programmed by the installer, and turning it on offers three run time choices- 1, 2, or 3 minutes. The alarm may be armed while the engine is running. Turbo Timer can be prevented form engaging, or “bypassed” if desired, by turning the engine off first and then engaging the parking brake, or if it’s al­ready engaged simply step on the brake pedal to turn the running engine off.
Other Transmitter Operations
To Silently Arm or Disarm the alarm, press and release the “II” button twice.
The siren’s confirmation chirps will not occur , and this operation simply reverses, or “toggles” the armed and disarmed status that the system.
The sensor may be temporarily bypassed. When arming the alarm with the
transmitter, within 3 seconds after the arming chirp press the “II” button. The system will respond with another single chirp, confirming that the sensor is bypassed.
The 2nd channel output, which is operated by pressing and holding the
transmitter “II” button for 1 second, is designed specifically to operate your vehicle’s electric power trunk release. Your vehicle will respond by releasing the trunk lid or rear hatch, chirping the siren twice, turning on your parking and

To Access a Feature:
Step 4 Within 10 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switch the same num-
ber of times as the desired feature’s number.
•The siren will chirp and the Status Indicator Light will flash as many times as the Valet Switch was pressed to indicate the feature number which is now accessed.
•This and the following steps apply for both of the programming levels- User Programming or Installer Programming.
To Change a Feature:
Step 5 After accessing the desired feature, within 10 seconds Press &
Release the appropriate transmitter button.
•Pressing the “arm/lock” button typically turns the feature on; or sets the feature’s first option. The siren will chirp once when this button is pressed.
•Pressing the “disarm/unlock” button also typically turns the feature off; or, sets the feature’s second option. The siren will chirp twice when this button is pressed.
•Many features have third, and even fourth setting options. Pressing the “II” and “III” buttons select these options. Confirmation chirps when these buttons are pressed are three and four chirps respectively.
•Generally speaking, the Status Light will light solid when a selected feature is programmed “on”, and not light when the feature is set for “off”. Some features have more than one “on” option, in which case the Status Light will remain on for all of the feature “on” settings.
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 Indicator 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.
Step 7 Allow 10 seconds to pass without performing any programming
actions; or, turn the vehicles’s ignition on.
•The siren will sound briefly and the Status Indicator Light will go out to confirm that the system is exiting Programing Mode.

Once the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature is turned on, the warning will sound for 48 hours after any transmitter programming, including the programming session which was used to turn it on.
How to Program Features
To a large extent the system’s versatility is due to an incredible array of programmable features- 33 main-system programmable features which offer almost 100 choices of operational and interfacing options.
For easier management of the programmable features, they are divided into two separate accessibility levels. Features which allow the user to customize the system’s operation according to their own choice are in one group, and the features which are installation related, or intended for the installer’s use are in a second group. The system has 23 User Programmable Features, and there are 10
Installer Programmable Features.
The same basic “Features Programming Mode” is the means for changing any of the features; the mode itself can be accessed as either the User level, or the Installer level.
The vehicle ignition key and the Valet Switch are used to enter the Programming Mode, then the transmitter is used to change features. Once the system is in Programming Mode, a 10 second period without programming activity will cause the system to automatically exit Programming Mode. Features can be selected in any order as desired.
To Enter Programing Mode and Change Features:
Step 1 Turn the vehicles’s ignition on. Step 2
Step 3 Within 5 seconds, Press & Release the Valet Switch either:
Turn the ignition off.

•The siren will chirp then sound briefly and the Status Light will flash to confirm that the system is entering Programing Mode.
•In the case of accessing the Installer Mode, the siren chirp then brief sounding will be heard at the fifth valet press, and then again at the tenth valet switch press.
•The Status Light shows red color for User Programming, and Green color for Installer programming.
•In either 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.

interior lights for 30 seconds, unlocking the doors, and disarming the system if it was armed. The 2nd channel output will not operate when the ignition switch is "on" unless the vehicle's door is open. If desired, the security system can be programmed to remain armed when this feature is used, and connection of the 2nd channel may require extra parts or installation.
The system also has a 3rd channel output which is similar to the 2nd channel,
but it does have some special operational design differences. To operate it, press and hold the transmitter “II” and “III” buttons together for 3 seconds.
The differences are that 3rd channel output will operate regardless of the ignition switch being "on" or "off", and there is no audible or visual confirmation. Connection of the 3rd channel will vary, depending upon the chosen application, and may require extra parts or installation.
There are also optional 4th channel and 5th channel outputs, which are available if more remote control functions are desired. These outputs can be repurposed from two other system outputs, the factory arm and disarm outputs, by an Installer Programmable Feature #9 (see page 38).
When these outputs are programmed to operate, pressing the transmitter “arm/ lock” and “II” buttons together for 3 seconds will activate the 4th channel output. Pressing the “disarm/unlock” and “III” buttons together for 3 seconds will activate the 5th channel.
Using the Valet Switch-
Alarm Valet Mode & Starting Valet Mode
The Valet Switch is located in the Window Unit, or optionally, the installer may have mounted a separate Valet Switch in a hidden, yet accessible location. ensure that you and others who use your vehicle are aware of the location of the Valet Switch and its uses. The Valet Switch has several functions:
Placing your system into Alarm Valet Mode, which prevents it from arming.
Placing it into Starting Valet Mode, which prevents it from remote starting.
Should your transmitter be lost or become inoperable, the Valet
Switch, and the ignition key, can be used to disarm the system with an
Emergency Override.
It is also used in the procedures for programming features and programming
transmitters to operate the system. See the “Programming
sections of this manual for details on these uses. Alarm Valet Mode: This allows you to turn off all of the “alarm” operations of
the security system while retaining the remote convenience features such as keyless entry, Panic, and the Auxiliary Outputs. Remote starting is still operable, and has its own valet mode (below). The system may only be placed into Alarm Valet Mode when it’s disarmed; if armed, an Emergency Override must be performed before

placing into Alarm Valet Mode. Once the system is in Alarm Valet Mode, it cannot become armed from the transmitter, Last Door Arming, or Automatic Rearming.
Alarm Valet Mode and Emergency Override are two similar, but different procedures, although both operations use the Valet Switch, . Emergency Override disarms an armed and activated system, and requires the ignition key. Alarm Valet Mode turns off the alarm operations of the disarmed system, but without the need of the ignition key.
Alarm Valet Mode is designed for situations in which it is not convenient for the security portion of the system to be operational, such as during extended stopovers for vehicle servicing, maintenance, valet parking, washing, etc.
To Enter Alarm Valet Mode: With the system disarmed, and without pressing the brake pedal, press and hold the Valet Switch for 2 seconds.
• The siren will chirp twice, the parking lights will flash twice and the Status
Light will illuminate solid red, then a series of green flashes, then return to solid red. The green flashes, numbering from 1 to 6 times, is a remote starting diag­nostic code (see page 21).
• To indicate that the system is in Alarm Valet Mode, the Status Indicator Light
remains solid red whenever the system is in Alarm Valet Mode.
• To remind the user that the system is in Alarm Valet Mode, the siren will
chirp once every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned off.
Starting Valet Mode: This feature is similar to Alarm Valet Mode, but its purpose is to turn off the remote starting operations of the system. be placed into Starting Valet Mode and Alarm Valet Mode independently, or into both modes at the same time. Please note that the only difference in obtaining either mode is whether or not the brake pedal is being pressed. To Enter Starting Valet Mode With the system disarmed, brake pedal, press and hold the Valet Switch for 2 seconds. Note: Some vehicles may require the ignition to be “ON”.
• The siren will chirp twice, the parking lights will flash twice and the Status
Light will illuminate solid green to confirm that the system is in Starting Valet Mode.
• There is no audible reminder that the system is in Starting Valet mode.
To Enter both Modes (Full Valet Mode): With the system disarmed, press and hold the Valet Switch for 4-6 seconds with the brake pedal in both conditions. For example, start pressing the Valet Switch with the brake pedal unpressed; as soon as the two chirps are heard, press the brake pedal Switch. As soon as a second set of two chirps is heard, the Valet Switch may be released. The system is now in Full Valet Mode. It does not matter in what order the pressed or unpressed brake pedal occurs.
• Once the system is in Full Valet Mode the Status Indicator Light will slowly
alternate green and red to confirm that the system is in Full Valet Mode. This

How to program Transmitters
The system is capable of being operated by as many as four transmitters; these can be any combination of 1-way transmitters or optional 2-way controllers. Regardless of which, the transmitter must be encoded, or programmed, to the system in order to operate it (excepting the originals, which were programmed at the factory).
It is during the transmitter programming procedure that the Unauthorized
Transmitter Alert feature may be turned on. Standard Programming: Using this method to program additional or replacement
transmitters does not affect Unauthorized Transmitter Alert. Step 1 Have all transmitters which are to operate the system at hand. Turn the
ignition “on”. Step 2 Within 5 seconds of turning on the ignition, press the Valet Switch 5 times.
The siren will briefly sound, confirming that for the next 10 seconds the system is ready to learn a transmitter code. To enter a code,
simply press and release the “arm/lock” button (the button which is
designed to arm the system). When the first transmitter code is learned all existing stored codes will be erased.
Step 3 Press the “arm/lock” button on each remaining transmitter. The system
will chirp the siren once to confirm that each was learned. The transmitter’s other three button's functions will automatically be assigned when the “arm/lock” button is learned. If a code is not received within a 10 second period, the learning process will automatically terminate, as indicated by another siren burst.
If the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature is on, programming a transmitter to the system will activate the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert warning and the extended Status Light visual display; for the next 48 hours the siren will sound a brief series of chirps every time the vehicle’s ignition key is turned on. The following special procedure programs the transmitters and also turns the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature on.
Special Programming procedure to turn On the UTA feature: Using this
method to program transmitters, and to turn on or turn off the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature.
Follow the same steps as the Standard Programming, but on any transmitter being
programmed instead of pressing the “arm/lock” button, press the “arm/lock” and the “disarm/unlock” buttons together. This action turns on the Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature and at the same time programs the transmitter to operate the system.

alarm condition, it will not respond to the transmitter, nor will the system reset automatically after 60 seconds, and it 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.
The three types of Anti-Carjacking protection features are:
Anti-Carjacking protection activated by the vehicle’s ignition has the process start every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned on. The Valet Switch must be pressed within 60 seconds every time the vehicle is started to cancel Anti­Carjacking. This is User Programmable Feature #17 (see pages 24,25, and 32).
Anti-Carjacking protection activated by an open door has the process start should a door be opened after the vehicle is started and the engine is running. The Valet Switch must be pressed within 60 seconds after the door is opened to cancel Anti-Carjacking. User Programmable Feature #18 (see pages 24,25, and 32).
Anti-Carjacking protection activated using a transmitter has the process start by pressing and holding buttons “II” and “III” for 3 seconds, but only if the vehicle’s ignition is on. The Valet Switch must be pressed within 60 seconds after this is done to cancel Anti-Carjacking. This is User Programmable Feature #19 (see pages 24,25, and 32).
Transmitter Protection
The system features several security safeguards in one of the most vulnerable areas of any remotely controlled system. Code JumpingTM It is quite easy, with the proper equipment, to record an alarm or keyless entry system’s transmitter signal, and simply play the captured signal back to the system to defeat it. system’s Code Jumping renders such “code grabbing” devices useless by randomly changing each signal that the transmitter sends.

which can operate the system, by flashing the Status Light with this number for 10 seconds every time that the ignition key is turned on.

on by the user (see the next section, “How to Program Transmitters”). When this protection feature is utilized, whenever a transmitter is added to operate the system, for 48 hours afterward a warning consisting of a brief series of siren chirps sounds every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned on.
Also during this 48 hour warning period, the 10 second Automatic Transmitter Verification visual display will increase to being displayed for 90 seconds instead of 10 seconds. When this feature is used and activated, after 48 hours the warning chirps disappear and the Status Light flashing transmitter number returns to being displayed for 10 seconds.

indication is present whenever the system is in Full Valet Mode.
• There will be the single chirp reminder every time the ignition turns off. This is for the Alarm Valet Mode part of the Full Valet Mode condition.
To Exit any of the 3 forms of Valet Mode, simply Press & Release the Valet Switch at any time.
• The Status Indicator Light will turn off to confirm exit from either Alarm Valet Mode, Starting Valet Mode, or both.
SecureCode
“SecureCode” allows the user to customize the number of Valet Switch presses which are required to successfully perform an Emergency Override. The basic Emergency Override procedure is described on pages 11-12. Instead of a single “1 press” of the Valet Switch which would be required in order to perform an Emergency Override, two stages of Valet Switch presses must be made. In each of the two stages, the Valet Switch will need to be pressed 1 through 9 times, as programmed by the user. This is the Emergency Override procedure if the system has programmed with a customized SecureCode:
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 switch on. Step 3 Within 5 seconds press and release the Valet Switch the same number of
times that have been programmed for stage #1.
Step 4 After a few seconds, the siren will stop sounding, chirp once, and then
resume sounding.
Step 5 Now, within 5 seconds press and release the Valet Switch the same number
of times that have been programmed for stage #2. Within a few seconds the siren will stop sounding, and the unit will disarm.
Once the system is disarmed, if Valet Mode is desired, just press and hold the Valet Switch for 2 seconds to place the system into Valet Mode. Should a mistake be made entering the SecureCode, after a failed attempt to achieve SecureCode, the ignition switch must be turned off, then on again before another attempt is made.
Should two failed SecureCode attempts be made, the system will ignore any further presses of the Valet Switch for two minutes.
In addition to Emergency Override, if any of the three anti-carjacking features are utilized, a correct customized SecureCode would also be required to turn off anti-carjacking once it has become fully activated. How to program your own customized SecureCode is explained on pages 24, 25 and 27.

The Status Light
The Status Light visually confirms the status of the system and provides a high level of visual deterrence. Two colors are shown- Red for security operations, and Green for remote starting operations. Combinations of both colors are seen when the two operations are occurring together. The Status Light is in the window unit, and actually consists of two LED lights, with identical operation, for maximum visibility.
Security System Status: The Red colored operations of the Status Light indicate the status of the security system:
1) Off = The security system is disarmed and not performing automatic functions.
The remote starter system is off, but in standby mode.
2) On Red Constant = The security system is in the Valet Mode, with the remote
starter system off and in standby mode.
3) Flashing Slow Red = The security system is fully armed, with the remote starter
system off and in standby mode.
4) Flashing Fast Red = Last Door Arming or Automatic Rearming is in progress,
with the remote starter system off and in standby mode.
Automatic Transmitter Verification:
ignition is turned on, the Status Light will flash Red a number of times that equal the number of transmitters that are capable of operating the system:
5) 1 Red Flash /pause = 1 transmitter is programmed.
6) 2 Red Flashes /pause = 2 transmitters are programmed.
7) 3 Red Flashes /pause = 3 transmitters are programmed.
8) 4 Red Flashes /pause = 4 transmitters are programmed. Zone Violation: If the system enters an alarm condition, the Status Light will stop
flashing slow Red and begin to flash in sequence to indicate which protected zone caused the alarm condition. The Status 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 feature’s memory can store two consecutive zone violations. If there have been multiple
violations, the Status Light will show the two most recent violations in the order in which they occurred.
9) 2 Red Flashes / Pause = System was triggered by open hood or trunk.
10) 3 Red Flashes / Pause = System was triggered by an open door.
11) 4 Red Flashes / Pause = System was triggered by the sensor.
• Turning on the ignition will clear the Zone Violation. Starting System Status: The Status Light uses the color Green to indicate the
status of the remote starting part of the system:
12) Off = The remote starter system is off and in standby mode. The security
system is disarmed and not performing automatic functions.
For the first 10 seconds after the vehicle’s

Mode, the Status Light illuminates solid Red. However, when this first occurs, the Status Light will flash Red, then 1 to 6 Green flashes before resuming solid Red. This indicates why the engine stopped running from the last previous remote starting.
15) Red / 1 Green Flash / Red = Programmed run time expired.
16) Red / 2 Green Flashes / Red = Brake was pressed or hood opened.
17) Red / 3 Green Flashes / Red = Engine stalled or bad tach signal.
18) Red / 4 Green Flashes / Red = Received transmitter command to stop.
19) Red / 5 Green Flashes / Red = Gear selector removed from “park”.
20) Red / 6 Green Flashes / Red = Security system triggered or low voltage. Combination Indications: These indications occur when security and remote starting operations are, or have been, simultaneous.
21) Slowly Alternates Red & Green = Full Valet Mode (page 18).
22) Solid Green w/ Red Flash = Security Armed with Starting Valet Mode.
23) Solid Red w/ Green Flash = Remote starter system engaged with security
24) Rapidly Alternates Red & Green = Remote starter system engages and security
25) Slow Flashing Green w/ 1 to 4 Red Flashes = This indication is during remote start operation after disarming the alarm, and shows that the pre­viously Armed alarm was activated and reset prior to the remote starting. The Red flashes are the Zone Violation (previous page), occurring with the “engine running” indicator.

Anti-Carjacking Protection
The system is equipped with three separate Anti-Carjacking protection features, whose operation may be selectively activated by the ignition, by an open door, or by the transmitter. All three are programmable, and must be turned on to operate. Once activated, the user has 53 seconds to cancel the Anti-Carjacking protection process by pressing the Valet Switch once. If Anti-Carjacking 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. The Valet Switch may
still be pressed once during this period to cancel the Anti-Carjacking process.
If the Anti-Carjacking 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.
