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 easy-to-use
convenience with “no nonsense” protection of property and person. Please
review this guide to become familiar with your Crime Guard vehicle security and
remote starting system. To operate your system, the four principal components
are first described: the Remote Transmitter and Remote Transceiver, the Status
Indicator Light, and the Valet Switch.
The Status Indicator Light: The multicolored Status Indicator Light, placed
in a visible location in the vehicle’s interior, reports 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 Indicator Light may be found on pages 23-24.
The Valet Switch: The Valet Switch (page 21) 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.
The Valet Switch is typically contained within
the same housing as the LED Status Light
(upper left, is the bottom of this housing), or
the installer may have placed it in its own
hidden location (lower left, is the Valet Switch
itself). In either case, the Valet Switch
should be readily accessible, and if you are
unaware of its location, have the installing
dealer show you its location and explain its
operation. The Valet Switch is a critical part
of your Crime Guard system! See Page 21

The Remote Transmitter and
Remote Transceiver: Your system
comes with two pre-learned remote

controls; one is a “transmitter”, and the
other is a 2-way “transceiver”, the Omega
Echo. The remote transceiver, in addition
to operating your system, also receives
“Auxiliary
#2”
Button
“Auxiliary
#3”

signals from the system, and displays a
variety of system conditions on its LCD
screen. Your system can be operated by
as many as four transmitters and/or
transceivers.
The remote transmitter and
transceiver both share the same four
operational buttons- the “Arm
/Lock”, the “Disarm/Unlock”,
the “Auxiliary #2” and

Remote Transceiver Icons: The LCD screen on the remote transceiver has
various icons which indicate system status. When the remote transceiver is used
to operate the system, it receives back a signal which causes it to chirp (emulating
the siren) and display the appropriate icons. Brief descriptions of the icons are:
• The digit readout is a clock, with AM and PM indication. This readout also
shows how many transmitters/transceivers can operate the system.
• The “DISARM” will also show “ARM”; this indicates the Armed or Disarmed
status of the system. Neither icon is present when the system is in Valet Mode.
• The locked or unlocked pad-
lock (windshield) reflects the
true locked or unlocked status
of the doors (certain programmable features can automatically arm the system, but
not lock the doors). Arming
with the transmitter/transceiver always locks the doors;
FEATURES PROGRAMMING CHECKLIST
This “Features Programming Checklist” checklist greatly assists the programming of features. Before attempting feature programming, please carefully read
pages 27-28 for the entire features programming instructions, and also see the
detailed explanation of each of the programmable feature, which is found on
pages 29 through 41.
To best use this checklist, determine which features are to be changed, and
mark each applicable box next to the feature with “\” before entering features
programming mode. As each feature is programmed, change its mark to “X”. In
the list at the right, please note that transmitter or transceiver button noted (“L”
for Arm/Lock or “U” for Disarm/Unlock) denotes the button that is pressed for
the default setting- if changing a feature, press the opposite button.
To program features, follow these steps:
Step 1 Turn the ignition “off”, and press the Valet Switch 5 times.
(the system will respond a siren chirp, then briefly sounding the siren
and the Status Light begins flashing Red)
Step 2 Press the Valet Switch the same number of times as the feature number.
(the system will acknowledge the Valet Switch entry by repeating the
same number of siren chirps and the Status Light flashes in Red an
equal amount)
Step 3 Press the transmitter’s "Arm/Lock" button to turn the feature “on” or press
the "Disarm/Unlock" button to turn the feature “off”.
(turning the feature “on” is indicated by one siren chirp and the Status
Light being on; turning the feature “off” is indicated by two siren chirps
and the Status Light being off)
Repeat - Steps 2 and 3 for each feature to be changed
If no programming activity occurs within a 10 second
period, the Features Programming Mode will expire.
The system exiting features Programming Mode
is indicated by the siren briefly sounding.

Echo is configured for “MUTE” operation (vibrates instead chirping), then in
programming it will not play the musical melodies. Instead, it vibrates when
the remote starting Start Melody and Stop Melody are accessed for programming.
Other Omega Echo Notes:
• The system will only transmit a signal to the Echo transceiver if the Echo was
last used to operate the system (as in Arming or Disarming it). Example: if
the transmitter is used to Arm the system, the system will not transmit a signal
which will cause the Echo to chirp and change its icons.
• If multiple Echo transceivers are programmed to operate the system, the sys-
tem will send its signal to only one transceiver- the last one used.
• When the Crime Guard 850i
ceiver, a few seconds is needed for this “handshake” to occur. If the
system is operated in a rapid fashion, as in quickly repeating Arm and Disarm
cycles, the Echo will not have time to receive the signal from the system, and
therefore it will stop responding and reporting the system’s status. Normally
operating the system corrects this symptom.
• A final point to remember is that the Echo transceiver cannot receive a signal
4
from the 850i
system while it itself is transmitting. For normal operations,
the Echo’s buttons are pressed and released. Even when “Panic” is operated,
the Echo button should be released as soon as “Panic” engages. Otherwise,
the Echo cannot receive the signal from the system.
4
system does send a signal to the Echo trans-
disarming with the transmitter/transceiver will unlock the doors unless the
system is activated and sounding.
• “VALET” indicates Alarm Valet Mode, replacing the “ARM” or “DISARM”
icons. A musical tone occurs when placing the system into Alarm Valet Mode.
• When “BAT LOW” appears the transceiver’s 1.5 volt AAA battery should be
replaced with a new battery.
• The transceiver’s chirps and musical tones may be turned off, which makes the
unit vibrate instead; “MUTE” indicates this state.
• The “3” within a circle appears when the Auxiliary #3 is operated.
• “HOOD/TRUNK” indicates that this zone the vehicle is or has been violated.
If associated with the system being activated, the transceiver also emits chirps,
until any button is pressed. In this case, the icon remains flashing until the
ignition switch is turned on.
• If a remote starting attempt is made, and systems aborts it due to a violated
safety circuit, the “crossed-out key” on the hood area will appear (this is
accompanied by a musical tone).
• The “CARJACK” icon within the vehicle’s front tag frame indicates that this
operation has been activated, which can be performed by any of three methods.
• On the vehicle’s windshield is a “hammer” and “impact” icon. When the shock
sensor detects light impact, causing the system to prewarn, the “impact” icon
alone will momentarily appear, accompanied by three chirps. If the sensor
detects a harder impact or breaking glass, activating the system, the full
hammer and impact icons appear, and the transceiver chips until any button is
pressed, and the icon remains flashing until the ignition switch is turned on.
• The “DOOR” icon will indicate that the system was activated via the door
detection circuit. The transceiver chirps until any button is pressed, and the
icon remains flashing until the ignition is turned on.
• The “start” icon at the rear of the vehicle confirms remote starting. This icon
is accompanied by a musical melody, and stays on while remote starting is
operating; during which the puffs will change to appearing sequentially.
• The “2” within a circle indicates use of the Auxiliary #2, which is most
commonly used for a remote trunk release feature.
• The “transmitting tower” icon is an in-range indicator. It is present if the last
transmission from the transceiver was answered by a return signal from the
system. Should the transceiver be operated, and no return signal is received,
this icon will disappear.
• The various lines at the upper rear of the vehicle graphic represent a unique
Omega feature which allows the user to customize the vehicle type represented
by the display. Options are: passenger car, pickup truck, and sport utility/van.
Further transceiver operational details appear in following sections describing
system operation. Programming the transceiver is explained on page 41.

USING YOUR CRIME GUARD SYSTEM
Arming the Crime Guard system turns on the antitheft protection, 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 three methods of Arming the security system:
1- The first method is to use the transmitter or transceiver, by pressing and
releasing its “Arm/Lock” button. The system must not be in Alarm Valet
Mode (page 21), and the vehicle’s ignition switch must be off. Every press
of the “Arm/Lock” button arms the system, even if it is already armed.
2- The second method is to press and release the transmitter or transceiver’s “II”
button twice within 5 seconds. This is “Silent Arming”.
3- The third 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 Time’s “Minutes” will flash, and may be set now.
Press and release the button to advance the minutes or
press and release the button to reverse the minutes.
When the minutes are correct
press and release the button
The Echo will play a musical melody; this is the Start Melody which
plays upon remote starting. One of five melodies may be chosen now.
Press and release the button
Each press of the button changes to the next melody, note that the
LCD screen displays “S” and a numeral, which is the melody number.
When the desired musical tone has been the last one played
press and release the button

• While the Echo programming must be “scrolled” through, programming mode
can be exited at any point within the menu by simply not pressing any buttons for 12 seconds. The Echo chirps once when it exits programming mode.
• If the “MUTE” vibrating operation is selected, turning off the chirps, the
remote starting melodies are also replaced by vibration.
• The previous also applies to the musical melodies when programming- if the
