Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of an Executive Keyless Entry and Security system. You have purchased the E-2300 Executive series of personal convenience and security products are designed by Omega Research and Development, a leader in vehicle security since 1970. When beginning to use this system, you will be surprised at its user-friendly design, considering the system delivers features and benefits that not only anticipate, but exceed, your expectations.
To learn how to operate your system, this Owner's Operation Manual will begin with Transmitter Functions, then explain the system's other operations as enhanced by the factory-set Programmable Features. As you become more familiar with the basic operations that this model performs, this Manual will further discuss the User Programmable Features, and then explain how change to them to configure the system to suit your personal needs. Finally, this Manual has personal safety tips, and will also briefly explain common technical terms.
Automatic Transmitter Verification
You received two remote control transmitters to operate your Executive System. Each time the ignition switch is turned to the "run" position the Red LED Status Light located on or under the dashboard will indicate for 10 seconds the number of transmitters programmed to your system. For example: Two flashes and a pause indicates two transmitters are coded to operate the system.

IMPORTANT: For the first 48 hours after a transmitter is coded to operate the system, every time the ignition switch is turned "on", the built-in piezo buzzer will beep rapidly for two seconds, and the LED Status Light will flash for 90 seconds. If this occurs after the initial 48 hour period,
immediately reprogram your transmitters (See Page 10).
This Patented feature alerts you if someone has added an unauthorized transmitter to your system, and is found only in Omega Research and Development products.
Transmitter Features
Concealed Transmitter Codes: Each Executive system includes two transmitters, and up to two
additional transmitters can be stored in the unit's memory for your convenience. Each transmitter has its own unique code. Thus, no other transmitter is coded the same as yours. In fact, no one, including the factory, can program another transmitter exactly like yours because the code is built inside the transmitter's microprocessor and cannot be seen or copied.
Transmitter Code Jumping
to the next digital code in sequence. Each time the system receives the correct digitally encoded signal from your transmitter, the receiver will then advance to the next digital code in sequence to match the transmitter. Therefore, you can never transmit the same code twice, thereby preventing a code grabbing device from operating your system.
Transmitter Battery Saver Feature: Many times transmitter batteries are prematurely exhausted
because the transmitter buttons are inadvertently pressed by objects while in a pocket or purse. The Executive transmitter will turn itself "off" after a short period of continuous transmission, and thus prevent drained transmitter batteries.

Programming Transmitters
Programming Transmitters To Operate Your Executive System: To use an additional or
replacement transmitter, it's unique digital code must first be added to the Executive System module's memory. The dealership where you purchased your Executive System can provide and program transmitters for you, or you may program the transmitters yourself. If you wish to program a transmitter, please follow these Transmitter Programming Mode procedures carefully:

This, in addition to the Automatic Transmitter Verification prevents someone from adding an unauthorized transmitter to your system.
2) Within a 5 second period, turn the ignition switch "on" five times: "on", "off", "on", "off", "on", "off", "on", "off", then "on" again; the fifth time leaving it "on". The buzzer will sound briefly to indicate that the system is ready to receive transmitter codes.
3) Within 10 seconds press the LOCK button on the first transmitter you wish to encode to the system. The buzzer will beep once to indicate the transmitter's code is learned by the system. It is only necessary to press the LOCK button, as the rest of the transmitter's functions are assigned automatically.
4) Repeat Step 3 within 10 seconds for each additional transmitter. The system will leave Transmitter Programming Mode when the ignition switch is turned "off", after 10 seconds of not receiving a transmitter broadcast, or upon learning the fourth transmitter.

When this Feature is activated (turned ON), every time the transmitter is used to unlock the doors", they will automatically relock 90 seconds later. Opening a door will not affect this operation, although turning "On" the ignition switch will cancel the automatic relocking.

When this Feature is activated, the Starter Disable circuit will automatically engage 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned "Off" and also 90 seconds after the transmitter is used to unlock the doors. The later may be cancelled by turning the ignition switch "On", but upon turning the switch "Off" the former parameter of the Feature will cause the Starter Disable to engage 90 seconds later. Please note that when this form of automatic Starter Disable is selected, there is no indication of the impending engagement; once the Starter Disable is engaged, however, the LED Status Light will flash as an confirmation indicator.

Changing The User Programmable Features
As previously mentioned, changing the User Programmable Features is a variation of the procedure used to program transmitter codes to the system. Remember, when the system acknowledges the first transmitter code, at that point you may use that transmitter to change any or all of the five User Programmable Features. To change the User Programmable Features, follow this procedure:
Page - 12
Every time the appropriate button or button combination is pressed, the system will respond alternately with one beep, then two beeps - every time the button is pressed, the Feature assigned to it is "toggled" on or off. One beep indicates that the Feature is on, or activated; two beeps indicates that the Feature is off, or deactivated.
1) Have all the transmitters that you wish to operate your Executive System at hand. Even though you are reprogramming an existing code, any time a transmitter code is programmed into your Executive System, all existing codes are automatically erased.
2) Within a 5 second period, turn the ignition switch "on" five times: "on", "off", "on", "off", "on", "off", "on", "off", then "on" again; the fifth time leaving it "on". The built-in piezo buzzer will sound briefly to indicate that the system is ready to receive transmitter codes.
3) Within 10 seconds press the LOCK button on the first transmitter you wish to encode to the system. The buzzer will beep once to indicate the transmitter's code is learned by the system. At this point, you may use this transmitter to change the User Programmable Features.
4) Within 10 seconds, press the transmitter button or button combinations to change the desired Feature. Here is a condensed review of the four Features and the transmitter button(s) to use when programming:
The Doors Automatically Lock 90 Seconds After The Ignition Switch Is Turned "Off".
Program with the transmitter's LOCK button.

Tips To Help Avoid Becoming A Victim
1) Always be aware of your surroundings. An alert and aware person is less likely to become a crime victim than someone who is preoccupied and easily approached.
2) While driving in high crime areas, always keep your doors locked and your windows up. Your Executive System can automatically lock your doors when the ignition switch is turned "on".
3) Always attempt to park your vehicle in a well lit and visible location with your doors locked.
4) While in parking garage structures, always attempt to back in to your parking space. This will provide a less visually encumbered and quicker way to exit your parking space if you are being pursued.
5) While driving or stopped at an intersection, if your vehicle is bumped in the rear by another vehicle or the vehicle behind you is flashing it's headlights, consider the occupants of the vehicle hostile and immediately drive to the nearest police or fire station. "Bump and run" thieves and carjack­ers are becoming an increasingly severe problem.
6) Control access of your keys. Never leave your house and other keys with a valet parking attendant mechanic, or any person requiring access to your car keys.
7) Control access of your keys. Never leave your house and other keys with a valet parking attendant mechanic, or any person requiring access to your car keys.
8) After someone else has had access to your vehicle, always verify that your transmitters still operate your system, and be aware of the Automatic Transmitter Verification
