Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of an Executive Keyless Entry and Security system. You have purchased the E-2500 Panic, and Interior/Exterior Illumination. The 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 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 horn will honk 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 13).
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 Functions
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 alarm 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.

Silently Operating The System: If desired, the transmitter can temporarily lock and unlock the
vehicles doors without the confirmation horn honks. This is accomplished with both the three button and four button transmitters by pressing and releasing the button labeled "OPTION", then within three seconds pressing "LOCK" or "UNLOCK" button. The confirmation honk(s) will be silenced for that particular operation only - any future normal pressing of the transmitter's buttons will produce the appropriate horn honk confirmation (although the silent operation may be used whenever desired). Please note that the permanent, complete elimination of the confirmation horn honks can be accomplished by your Executive dealer upon request.
Remote Personal Protection
The E-2500 assault, or at any time you feel threatened or in need of assistance, you can utilize your transmitter to activate this feature, which will honk the horn and flash the exterior and interior lights for 60 seconds. During this period the horn will honk 10 times every 10 seconds, with a 5 second pause between each 10 second interval. This feature operates regardless of the system's status or if the ignition switch is "on" or "off".

Remote Panic Utilizing The Three Button Transmitter: Press and hold depressed the LOCK
button for 3 seconds to activate Remote Panic. This operation also locks the doors and engages the Starter Disable. If allowed to complete the full 60 second Panic period, at the end of 60 seconds the system will stop and reset. The car's doors will remain locked, the Starter Disable will remain engaged, and the Red LED Status Light will flash slowly to indicate this status. If the system was in Valet Mode when Remote Panic was engaged, the doors will remain locked, but the Starter Disable will not be engaged and the Red LED Status Light will be illuminated steadily, reflecting the Valet Mode.
If you decide to stop the Remote Panic feature during the 60 second period of activation, you may press either the LOCK button, which will leave the doors locked and Starter Disable engaged; or you may press the UNLOCK button, which will unlock the doors and disengage the Starter Disable.
Remote Panic Utilizing The Four Button Transmitter: The four button transmitter features a
dedicated button labeled "PANIC" to activate Remote Panic, although the "LOCK" button will also activate Remote Panic with the identical operation of the previously explained three button transmitter. However, the four button transmitter's "PANIC" button will activate Remote Panic only - no other system operations are affected, although the either the "LOCK" button or the "UNLOCK" button may be used to stop Remote Panic, with the same parameters as previously explained. To activate Remote Panic with the "PANIC" button, press it and hold depressed for 3 seconds. To deactivate Remote Panic before the 60 second period expires, you may press any one of the "LOCK" (which also locks the doors and engages the Starter Disable); "UNLOCK" (which also unlocks the doors); or "PANIC" buttons (which only stops Remote Panic and does not affect the doorlocks or Starter Disable).
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:
1) Have all the transmitters that you wish to operate your Executive System at hand. Any time a transmitter code is programmed into your Executive System, all existing codes are automatically erased. 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 horn 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 horn will honk 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.

User Programmable Features
Your E-2500 requirements as part on the Transmitter Programming Mode. Once Transmitter Programming Mode has been accessed (described on the previous page), at the point where the first transmitter code is entered and acknowledged, that same transmitter may be used to configure these User Programmable Features as desired. The User Programmable Features, and their factory default settings, are:
1) The Doors Automatically Lock 90 Seconds After The Ignition Switch Is Turned "Off". Default: Feature OFF; Program with the transmitter's LOCK button. When this Feature is activated (turned ON), every time the ignition switch is turned "Off", the doors will automatically lock 90 seconds later. You may open a door and exit the vehicle without affecting this operation, and the LED Status Light will have no indication that the automatic locking will occur.
2) The Doors Automatically Relock 90 Seconds After Unlocking By The Transmitter. Default: Feature OFF; Program with the transmitter's UNLOCK button. 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. The LED Status Light will have no indication that the automatic relocking will occur.
3) The Starter Disable Will Automatically Engage 90 Seconds After The Ignition Switch Is Turned "Off" Default: Feature OFF; Program with the transmitter's OPTION button.

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.
Page - 13
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.
4) The Starter Disable Will Automatically Engage 30 Seconds After The Last Door Is Closed. Default: Feature OFF; Program with the transmitter's LOCK When this Feature is activated, the Starter Disable circuit will automatically engage 30 seconds after the last vehicle door is closed, provided the ignition switch has previously been "On", then turned "Off". If a door is opened before the 30 second period expires, the process is suspended; shutting the door starts a new 30 second period. With this method of automatic Starter Disable engagement, the system will flash the parking and interior lights upon shutting the door, and the LED Status Light will be flashing rapidly. At the expiration of the 30 second period, the parking and interior lights will flash once again, the horn will honk once, and the LED Status Light will slow to a steady flash.
5) The Starter Disable Will Automatically Engage 90 Seconds After Unlocking By The Trans­mitter. Default: Feature OFF; Program with the transmitter's LOCK When this Feature is activated, the Starter Disable circuit will automatically engage 90 seconds after unlocking the doors by use of the transmitter. The ignition switch must be turned "On" to cancel the automatic engagement. During the 90 second period, the LED Status Light will be flashing rapidly, and will slow to a steady flash upon engagement of the Starter Disable,

at which time the horn will honk, and the parking and dome lights will also flash once. Please note that with this form of automatic Starter Disable engagement, opening a door during the 90 second period will simply suspend the process; upon shutting the door the Starter Disable will still occur 90 seconds after the door is shut - only turning the ignition switch "On" before the 90 seconds expires will cancel the automatic engagement of the Starter Disable.
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:
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 horn 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 horn will honk 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.
Page - 16
4) Within 10 seconds, press the transmitter button or button combinations to change the desired Feature. Here is a condensed review of the five 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.
The Doors Automatically Relock 90 Seconds After Unlocking By The Transmitter.
Program with the transmitter's UNLOCK button.
The Starter Disable Will Automatically Engage 90 Seconds After The Ignition Switch Is Turned "Off"
Program with the transmitter's OPTION button.
The Starter Disable Will Automatically Engage 30 Seconds After The Last Door Is Closed.
Program with the transmitter's LOCK
The Starter Disable Will Automatically Engage 90 Seconds After Unlocking By The Transmitter.
Program with the transmitter's LOCK
Every time the appropriate button or button combination is pressed, the system will respond alternately with one horn honk, then two horn honks - every time the button is pressed, the Feature assigned to it is "toggled" on or off. One horn honk indicates that the Feature is on, or activated; two horn honks indicates that the Feature is off, or deactivated.
5) When all of the desired Features have programmed as desired, repeat Step 3 within 10 seconds for each additional transmitter. Remember, 10 seconds of not receiving a transmitter broadcast will cause the system will leave either the Transmitter Programming Mode or the User Features Programming period.

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. Use the interior/exterior light illumination feature to look in and around your vehicle.
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. This will also allow you to better see the flashing exterior light confirmation.
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) While parked and sitting in your vehicle, always keep your doors locked , windows rolled up and engine idling if possible. If you are approached by a potential carjacker, use your Executive transmitter to Panic the system to scare the attacker away.
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 operation of the Automatic Transmitter Verification feature, which ensures that no additional unauthorized transmitters have been added to your system for the purpose of stealing your vehicle or its contents.
