Introduction
Congratulations for choosing one of the most versatile, fully-featured vehicle secu­rity and convenience systems available today. Omega Research & Development has been a leader in vehicle security products for nearly 4 decades. Please take the time
to read this manual thoroughly so you can fully enjoy the benets and features this
system offers. In this manual, you will primarily learn about 5 user interface components and how they work together in alerting you to system changes as well as how you can control system operations. Keep in mind that the operations described in this manual are writ-
ten to only reect the default system settings. Be sure to discuss any customization
with your installer so you can remember any variations from this guide.
Controllers: The system has a 2-way controller that, in addition to controlling the
system, it will give you conrmations on system operations as well as violation alerts.
A 1-way transmitter is also included. It is a standard remote control that still gives
you control over all features but without conrmations. The next section covers the
controllers’ operations in detail.
The Status Lights: These lights are built into the system’s window-mounted antenna. They give you a visual indication of the system’s current state and provide troubleshooting indicators. The operations of the status lights are covered later in this manual.
The Valet Switch: This push button gives you access to system programming, transmitter/controller programming, and valet functions. It is also built into the sys­tem’s window-mounted antenna. The valet switch’s operations are also covered later in this manual.
Flashing Lights: The system is connected to your vehicle’s parking lights to
provide a 360 degree visual conrmation, warning, & deterrence in almost all system
operations. Each operation described in this manual also includes the corresponding indicator from the ashing lights. The ashing lights primarily provide visual deter­rence when the system is violated.
Siren and/or Horn Sounding: The system includes an electronic siren that offers
conrmation chirps during daily operations and programming. It is also the primary
means of alerting anyone near your vehicle that the system has been violated. The system is capable of sounding the vehicle’s horn in addition to, or in place of, the electronic siren. Most system functions have a corresponding audible alert that is described throughout this manual. Becoming familiar with these alerts will help you to instantly understand any changes in the system’s status.

Controller & Transmitter Functions (cont’d)
AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS 1-4:
The actual operation of these functions will vary from car to car. They are designed
to operate extra vehicle functions like automatic sliding doors or motorized hatches.
Aux 1-4 are virtual outputs only available on certain vehicles when this system is
integrated with the vehicle’s data network. Consult with your installer to nd out if any of these functions are available for your vehicle. If so, conrm each operation with the
controller and write each function in the blank spaces provided below.
- Auxiliary 1 Function (___________________): To activate this function, press and release the “CH3” icon. (1-way transmitter: press and release the “trunk” and “start” buttons simultaneously).
- Auxiliary 2 Function (___________________): To activate this function, press and release the “CH4” icon. (1-way transmitter: press and release the “lock” and “trunk” buttons simultaneously).
- Auxiliary 3 Function (___________________): To activate this function, press and release the “CH5” icon. (1-way transmitter: press and release the “unlock” and “start” buttons simultaneously).
- Auxiliary 4 Function (___________________): To activate this function, press and release the “AUX4” icon. (1-way transmitter: press and release the “unlock” and “trunk” buttons simultaneously).
Other Remote Start Features
LOW BATTERY/LOW TEMP AUTOMATIC STARTING
This feature will automatically start the engine should the vehicle battery drop below 11 volts or the interior temperature drop to 15 (or 32) degrees fahrenheit. This feature is very useful when the vehicle is parked for a long period of time in cold climates. You must activate these features each time you park your car to use them.
• Turn the ignition switch “on”, then “off” (engine not running), and within 7 seconds
press the valet switch twice. If there is a 2 second delay without additional valet but­ton presses, the horn will honk 3 times activating low voltage start mode.
• To activate low temp starting, enter low voltage start mode as described above
but, before the horn honks, press the valet switch 1 time (15 degrees) or 2 times (32
degrees) within 5 seconds. The horn will honk to conrm your selection.
NOTE: When low temp start mode is activated, low voltage start is also activated. These features will operate once every two hours until the ignition key is turned “ON”.
TURBO TIMER FEATURE
It is typically recommended that vehicles equipped with turbocharged engines
allow the engine to idle for after driving to cool the turbocharger. When this Installer Programmable Feature (#4) is enabled, 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 programmed time (1, 2, or 3 minutes), and then automatically turn it off.
• The system may be locked while the engine is running. Turbo Timer can be
prevented from engaging, or “bypassed” if desired, by turning the engine off before engaging the parking brake, or if it’s already engaged, step on the brake pedal to turn the engine off.
