ABOUT YOUR NEW CRIME GUARD SYSTEM
Congratulations on your purchase of a new Crime Guard security and
remote starting system. Crime Guard systems combine the benefits of easyto-use convenience with “no nonsense” protection of person and property.
Please review this guide to become familiar with your Crime Guard vehicle
security and remote starting system. To operate your system, the three
principal components are first described: the Remote Control Transmitter,
the Status Indicator Light, and the Valet Switch.
The Remote Control Transmitter: Your system comes with two prelearned remote controls, or “transmitters”, and is capable of being operated
by as many as four transmitters. The transmitter has four buttons: one is
marked with a “lock” graphic, one is marked with an “unlock” graphic, and
the remaining two buttons are marked “II” and “III”.
Every transmitter has its own unique, invisible electronic “code”. Each
time the transmitter is used, this code randomly changes, effectively protecting
your system against “code grabber” devices, like those used to copy cellular
phone security codes. Another exclusive patented feature, Automatic
Transmitter Verification (ATVTM), ensures that only your transmitters
operate your system, and is explained on page 23. These features, and many
others, ensure that Crime Guard systems are the most secure vehicle security
systems available.
The Status Indicator Light: The multicolored Status Indicator Light
reports the status of the system at all times, and also serves as a visual
deterrent to break-ins and theft. In addition, the Status Indicator Light is part
of the ATVTM visual display, and is also used for the Alarm Memory Recall
feature. Specific description of the Status Indicator Light is on pages 20-21.
The Valet Switch: The Valet Switch has three main functions:
1- The Valet Switch can be used to turn off the security and/or starting
operation of the system, including the Last Door Arming feature (if
used). This is referred to as “placing the system into Easy Valet Mode”.
2- The Valet Switch can also be used, in conjunction with the vehicle’s
ignition key, to perform an emergency disarming of the security system
in the event the transmitter is lost or becomes inoperable. This is
referred to as “performing an Emergency Override”.
3- The Valet Switch is used in the procedure of programming operational
features and also for encoding transmitters to the system.

USING YOUR CRIME GUARD SYSTEM
Your new Crime Guard security system is designed to deter theft of both
your vehicle and its contents. Arming the system turns on the protection
operation, disables the vehicle’s starter and locks the doors provided an
interface is installed. Once the system is Armed, any intrusion attempt will
Activate it, sounding the siren and flashing the lights to attract attention.
Disarming the system turns off the protection, allowing normal use of the
vehicle.
There are two methods of Arming the security system:
1- The first method is to use the transmitter, by pressing and releasing its
“Arm/Lock” button. The system must not already be in Easy Valet Mode
(page 18), and the vehicle’s ignition switch must be off. Each press of
the “Arm/Lock” button arms the system, even if it is armed to begin with.
2- The second method is Last Door Arming, which configures the system to
automatically arm every time you exit the vehicle. This method of
arming is programmable, and may be used or not used as desired.

THE PARKING LIGHTS
WILL FLASH TWICE
Upon Arming:
• The siren will chirp twice (or four times if a zone is bypassed) unless
the silent arming procedure is followed.
• The parking lights will flash twice (or four times if a zone is bypassed).
• The doors will lock.*
• The starter interrupt will engage.
• The Status Indicator Light will begin to flash slowly in Red.
Three seconds after arming, the security system becomes fully armed, and
will activate to an alarm condition should an intrusion attempt be detected.
Further transmitter operations and options are discussed on page 13.
* An optional doorlock interface must be installed
Arming Bypass:
When arming the system using the transmitter, if any protected zone or
sensor circuit is in a violated condition, the affected zone or circuit will be
automatically bypassed. This is “Arming Bypass”, which allows the system to still arm and protect the other normal, non-violated zones. In the
case of a bypassed zone or circuit, should the violated condition return to
normal, 5 seconds after becoming normal the system restores protection to
the previously bypassed zone or circuit.
If the hood and trunk zone, or sensor circuit is bypassed when the system is armed, instead of the normal arming confirmation the siren will chirp
four times and the parking lights will flash four times to alert you. However, if a door zone is bypassed, the siren and light confirmation will be the
normal two chirps and flashes, as many vehicles are equipped with a delayed interior light illumination. In these vehicles, the interior light delay
would typically cause the system to indicate a bypass if the system is armed
during the delay. In these cases, the arming indication is normal, and the
door zone is protected by the system five seconds after the interior light
turns off.
LAST DOOR ARMING BY EXITING THE CAR
Last Door Arming:
Last Door Arming is a programmable feature which configures the system to arm itself without the need of a command from the transmitter. This
convenient feature offers a high level of security and may entitle the vehicle owner to an insurance discount since the user does not need to remember to arm the system each time the vehicle is exited.
Page 5
The Last Door Arming feature may be coupled, if desired, with the automatic locking of the vehicle’s doors when the system arms itself.*
The Last Door Arming process:
1- When the vehicle’s ignition has been turned off, the system waits until a
door is opened. When the door is closed, or when the last door is closed
when more than one door is opened, the siren will chirp twice, the parking lights will flash twice, and the Status Indicator Light will begin flashing Red rapidly. The Last Door Arming countdown has begun.
2- Thirty seconds later the siren will again chirp twice, the parking lights
will again flash twice, the starter interrupt will engage, and the Status
Indicator Light will begin flashing Red slowly. If programmed, the
vehicle’s doors will also lock.* Three seconds after these actions occur,
the system is fully armed.
Notes:
- If a door is reopened during the thirty second period between the first
and second set of double chirps, the countdown will stop and reset. When
the reopened door is closed again, the 30 second countdown starts over
again at the beginning.
- Last Door Arming is separate from, and does not effect the operation of
arming by using the transmitter.
- All protected points must be closed or otherwise in a non-violated state
for the Last Door Arming sequence to start. Unlike active arming from
the transmitter, the system can not bypass an open or detected zone and
arm itself.
To temporarily prevent the system from arming itself:
- Place the system in Easy Valet Mode using the Valet Switch (page 18).
- Leave a vehicle door open. Although this varies depending on the vehicle,
in many cases turning on the interior light will be detected by the system
as an open door.
- Although the system will not Last Door Arm while the ignition is on,
leaving the ignition key turned on without the engine running is not
recommended.
* An optional doorlock interface must be installed
Page 6
SYSTEM ARMED & ACTIVATED
While the system is in the Armed state:
• The Status Indicator Light will be flashing slowly Red to confirm that the
system is armed, and also serve as a visual deterrent.
• The starter interrupt circuit is engaged.
• Protected zones are being monitored for intrusion attempts.
Should an activation into the alarm condition occur:
• The changing-tone electronic siren will loudly sound.
• The parking and interior lights will flash.
• The doors will lock,* regardless of their locked or unlocked status. This
feature is unique- if the system detects that a door is opened, it waits until
the door is closed before relocking it, denying the thief reentry.
An activated alarm condition has a duration of 60 seconds (30 is optional)
unless the system is disarmed using the transmitter or the Valet switch. If
all protected zones are secure at the end of the alarm condition, the system
will stop and rearm automatically, ready to detect another entry attempt. If
a protected zone is still violated at the end of the alarm condition, the system
will reactivate for up to two additional alarm cycles. After the third alarm
cycle the system will automatically rearm and bypass the open zone until that
zone returns to a normal “non-violated” state.
• Once the system resets after it has been activated, upon disarming the
audible and visual confirmation will change to indicate the activation.
This is the “Activation Alert”, which is explained on pages 9 and 20.
* An optional doorlock interface must be installed
DISARMING THE SYSTEM
There are three methods of Disarming the security system:
1- The first method is to press and release the transmitter’s “Disarm/
Unlock” button to disarm the system. This is the normal method.
2- The second method is to press and release the transmitter’s “II” button
twice within 5 seconds. This is “silent Disarming”.
3- The third method is for emergencies, should the transmitter become lost
or inoperable. This is the “Emergency Override”, and uses the ignition
key and Valet Switch.

Safety Disarm Feature
:
Pressing and releasing the “Disarm/Unlock button while the system is
activated in the alarm condition will disarm the system, but the doors will
remain locked. This is the “Safety Disarm” feature, which allows the vehicle to remain secure, even though an activated system has been disarmed.
Page 8
Safety Disarm will also cancel Automatic Rearming (if it is programmed to
operate). This feature is also very useful when the vehicle is exposed to
environmental conditions, such as storms, trains or heavy vehicles, which
may cause false activations.
Safety Disarm is a temporary “one time” operation which occurs only
while the system is activated. To remotely unlock the doors after a Safety
Disarm, simply press the “Disarm/Unlock” button again.
Activation Alert
:
If the system experiences an alarm condition and resets itself, upon
disarming the siren will chirp three times and the parking lights will flash
three times instead of the normal one chirp and one light flash. Additionally,
the Status Indicator Light will be flashing a “Zone Violation Code”. When
the alarm condition activation occurred, the Status Indicator Light changes
from flashing slowly to flashing one to four times between pausing to
indicate which protected zone was violated.
- The Zone Violation Code will continue to be displayed until the vehicle’s
ignition is turned on.
- The Status Indicator Light will display the Zone Violation Code in place
of fast flashes indicating Automatic Rearming.
- Should the system be rearmed before the ignition clears the Zone Violation
Code memory, the Status Indicator Light shows the normal slow flashing.
- The system can store up to two consecutive Zone Violation Codes. If more
activations occurred, the two most recent codes are displayed.
Automatic Rearming:
Automatic Rearming is a programmable feature which ensures that your
system is never inadvertently disarmed. It is possible to accidentally or
unknowingly operate the transmitter from a pocket or purse. You may not
even be aware of an accidental disarming due to the enhanced operating
distance offered by the Extended Range Transmitter.
How It Works:
Whenever the system is disarmed by the transmitter, this feature starts a
90 second countdown, which is indicated by a rapidly flashing Red Status
Indicator Light. During this 90 second period, if no protected entry points
are opened and the vehicle’s ignition is NOT turned on, the system will
automatically arm itself at the end of the countdown. If desired, the system
can also be programmed to automatically relock the doors when this occurs.
Automatic Rearming Notes continued on next page . . .
Page 9
Automatic Rearming Notes:
- Turning the vehicle’s ignition on cancels Automatic Rearming.
- Opening a door will suspend the 90 second countdown.
- All protected zones must remain non-violated during the 90 second
Automatic Rearming period. For example, if a vehicle door is opened
during the 90 second period, the countdown will stop. When the door is
closed, the system resets and starts a new 90 second countdown period.
- The Automatic Rearming sequence is indicated by a fast flashing Red
Status Indicator Light, unless the system has been activated, in which case
an Alarm Condition Memory Recall code will flash instead (page 20).
The ignition switch must be turned on to erase a violation code.
- If the system is disarmed while it is activated (siren sounding and lights
flashing) Safety Disarm will cancel the Automatic Rearming for that
disarming operation only. The next time the system is armed, Automatic
Rearming will be initiated upon the subsequent disarming.

Notes:
- There is no time limitation for the second pressing of the “Disarm/Un-
lock” button. Once the button is pressed and released to Disarm the
system, every subsequent pressing of the “Disarm/Unlock” button will
produce the “unlock all doors” output, the single siren chirp and parking
and dome light illumination period. When the system is next armed, by
any of the three methods, the operation is reset so the next use of the
“Disarm/Unlock” button will result in the system Disarming and producing the “unlock driver’s door only” output.
- When disarming a system configured for Driver’s Door Priority, the user
has the option of Silent Disarming (by pressing twice the Auxiliary Output #2 button), and then pressing the “Unlock/Disarm” button. When
the remaining doors unlock, the system will chirp the siren once.
DISARMING BY EMERGENCY OVERRIDE
Emergency Override:
In the event that your transmitter is lost, damaged, or its batteries have
become exhausted, the Valet Switch and the vehicle’s ignition key may be
used to disarm the system.
To Disarm the System without using a Transmitter:
Step 1. With the system in the armed condition, enter the vehicle via the
driver's door (be aware that the system will activate to an alarm
condition when the door is opened).
Step 2. Using the ignition key, turn the vehicle’s ignition on.
Step 3. Within 5 seconds, press and release the Valet Switch once. The
system will disarm.
ENTER THE VEHICLE
AND USE YOUR KEY TO
TURN THE IGNITION ON

A procedure which separate, but similar, to an Emergency Override is the
Easy Valet mode (page 18), which prevents the system from performing any
automatic arming operations which may be programmed to occur.

To Deactivate Panic:
Press & Release either button
Deactivating Remote Panic from the “Arm/Lock” button results in the
system being in the Armed state with locked doors. If the “Disarm/Unlock” button is used to deactivate Remote Panic the system will be in the
Disarmed state, with unlocked doors.
Upon Activating Panic:
• The electronic siren will sound.
• The vehicle’s exterior parking lights will flash.
• The vehicle’s doors will unlock.*
- The Panic feature is designed for situations in which the user feels threat-
ened and/or a need to attract attention.
- Panic can be activated anytime, whether the vehicle’s ignition is turned
on or off, and has a 60 second duration (30 seconds is optional) unless it
is deactivated using the remote control.
- At the end of the Panic cycle the system will reset, enter the armed state,
and lock the doors.*
* The doorlock interface must be installed. If the vehicle has been
configured for Driver’s Door Priority, Panic will unlock the driver’s
door.

OTHER TRANSMITTER OPERATIONS
The previous sections have described the basic everyday operations of
your Crime Guard system. The transmitter is also capable of operating
several other optional functions which are explained in this section.
Two auxiliary outputs are available for use (the primary output Arms
and Disarms the system). The second output, Auxiliary Output #2, is also
capable of Disarming the system; thus it is ideally suited for remote trunk
release. Operating Auxiliary Output #2 will also unlock the doors* when it
Disarms the system, should it be armed. If desired, the unlocking of the
doors and disarming of the system may be programmed to not operate. The
final output, Auxiliary Output #3 cannot affect the armed or disarmed status of the system, nor unlock the doors as part of its operation.
To Activate Auxiliary Output #2:
Press & Hold for 3 Seconds the “Auxiliary Output #2” Button ( II )

Auxiliary Output Notes:
- Auxiliary Output #2 may be activated anytime, provided the vehicle’s
ignition is off. While the ignition is on, the Auxiliary Output #2 can be
operated as long as a vehicle door is open; this prevents the output from
being accidentally activated while driving.
- If feature #7 is programmed to have the Auxiliary Output #2 disarm the
system, the doors will unlock when it is activated; and there is an audible
and visual confirmation: 3 siren chirps and one light flash if the system
also disarms, and one chirp and light flash otherwise.
- Auxiliary Output #3 may be activated at any time, regardless of the ignition being on or off, and regardless of the security system’s status.
- Auxiliary #3 has no audible and/or visual confirmation.
* An optional doorlock interface must be installed. When Auxiliary
Output #2 is operated, all of the doors will unlock, even if the vehicle is
configured with Driver’s Door Priority.
GLASS BREAKAGE & 2-ZONE IMPACT SENSOR
Sensors: The Crime Guard 850i3 security system is equipped with a Glass
Breakage and Dual-Zone Infrasonic Impact Sensor to increase the
effectiveness of the system. The impact sensor is just one in a comprehensive
line of available sensors. Other available options are: piezo shock sensors,
and microwave/radar sensors which can detect objects in motion both inside
and outside the vehicle.
- The Crime Guard 850i3 control module features dual auxiliary sensor
ports, which easily allows the addition of a further optional sensor.
- If desired, the sensor zone only can be bypassed when the system is armed
with the transmitter, but leaving the other protection zones in place. This
feature is convenient when environmental factors, such as hail or thunder
storms, may lead to the system being activated erroneously.
Prewarning Detection Circuit: When the sensor’s prewarn zone is
violated the security system will respond by chirping the siren three times
and relocking all of the doors.* If the prewarn circuit is triggered five times
while the system is armed, the circuit will automatically shutdown until the
security system is disarmed and armed again.
- Prewarning operates from the Infrasonic Impact Sensor only.
* An optional doorlock interface must be installed

Remote Sensor Bypass allows the option of “turning off” the sensor anytime the system is armed using the transmitter. When the sensor is bypassed, only the sensor zone is bypassed and all other protected zones will
remain fully operational and vigilant. The sensor zone will reset to its normal operation the next time the system arms.
* An optional doorlock interface must be installed.
REMOTE ENGINE STARTING
This unit is designed to be installed on
automatic transmission vehicles only!
The remote engine starting feature should not be used when
the vehicle is parked in an enclosed structure or garage!
Your Crime Guard 850i3 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.
