Your Executive Model One system has three principal user components: the

Remote Transmitter, the red LED Status Light and the Valet Switch.

The Remote Transmitter: Each system is capable of being operated by up to four different remote transmitters. The remote transmitter has four push-button switches, each being labeled as to function. The basic operations are:

- The LOCK button arms the security system, which also locks the doors. This

button can also operate an additional "option" output.

- The UNLOCK button disarms the security system, unlocking the doors. This

operation can be configured to unlock the driver's door only upon one press of the

button; then, if desired, all of the doors upon a second press of the button.

- The OPTION button is used to silently arm or disarm the system, and can also

operate an additional remote control function such as trunk release.

- The PANIC button is used to easily engage and disengage the panic feature.

The Red LED Status Light: Informs you at a glance of the different conditions the security system is in and also serves as a visual deterrent to break-ins and theft.

The Valet Switch: Is used to access Valet Mode, which allows the operator to suspend some of the security system's normal functions. The valet switch may also be used, instead of the remote transmitter, to override an armed and activated system.

After arming, the bypassed circuit will automatically be reinstated for protection should it become operative, i.e., if the trunk is closed, 3 seconds later protection of this circuit is restored. When a circuit is in a bypassed state, all other operating circuits will be protected normally. If desired, this feature may be custom programmed to also operate if a door is open upon when arming the system with the transmitter.

Passive Arming: The Model One can be custom programmed to arm itself automatically when the vehicle's last door is closed; this is the Last Door Arming feature. If this feature is programmed to operate, the moment the last open door is closed the horn chirps once and the parking and interior lights flash once to confirm that all points of entry are closed, and that the arming sequence has begun. The arming period lasts 30 seconds, and is indicated by a fast-flashing LED status light. Thirty seconds after the last door was closed, the horn will chirp again, the parking and interior lights will flash once, confirming completion of the Last Door Arming sequence. When this occurs the LED status light changes to flashing slowly, and the system is fully armed three seconds later. If a point of entry is reopened before the single chirp and light flash occurs at 30 seconds, the Last Door Arming sequence stops, but will start over again when the opened point of entry is closed again. To temporarily prevent the system from Last Door Arming (example: while vehicle is being refueled), you should put the system into Valet Mode or leave the vehicle's door open (in most cases, turning on the dome light will suffice). The "Last Door Arming" feature offers a high level of security, since you do not have to remember to arm the system each time you exit

"Arming" the Executive Model One locks the doors and places the security system into a state in which the vehicle is monitored for intrusion attempts. There are two different methods of arming the system: "active" arming by use of the remote transmitter, and automatic, or "passive" arming, which is programmable.

Active Arming: The Model One can always be armed with the remote transmitter, provided the ignition switch is "off" and the system is not in Valet Mode. Simply press the transmitter LOCK button once. The doors will lock, the parking lights will flash once, the vehicle's horn will chirp once, the LED Status Light will begin flashing, and the starter interrupt circuit engages to prevent any attempt to start the vehicle. When arming the UltraOne system, the dome light also flashes once. Three seconds after the horn chirp the system becomes fully armed. Once armed, the system will activate if an intrusion attempt is detected. If desired, the system may be armed without the normal confirmation horn chirp by pressing and releasing the transmitter's OPTION button twice within 3 seconds.

Upon active arming, if any protected circuit except for the doors is inoperable, the horn will chirp three times and the parking lights will flash three times. This is Arming Bypass, and when it occurs, protection for the affected circuit will be temporarily bypassed. For example, if the trunk is left open, you can still actively arm the system from the transmitter, but with the indication that a protected circuit is not secure.

from your vehicle, and may qualify you for an insurance discount. One important aspect of the Last Door Arming's operation is to remember that the ignition switch has to be on, then turned off, then the vehicle door closed to initiate the Last Door Arming. Opening and closing a door without first turning off the ignition switch will not initiate the Last Door Arming.

A separate programmable feature may be utilized to have the doors automatically lock when the 30 second horn chirp and light flash occurs. The previously mentioned Arming Bypass feature cannot operate with Last Door Arming; it only works when actively arming the system from the transmitter because all protected entries must be closed to initiate Last Door Arming. Of course, you can still arm the system instantly from the remote transmitter at any time during the 30 second Last Door Arming sequence.

Disarming: Press and release the remote transmitter's UNLOCK button once to disarm the system and unlock either the driver's door only, or all of the doors- how the doors unlock is determined by the installation configuration of the doorlock interface. Disarming is confirmed by the horn chirping twice and the parking lights flashing twice, then turning on for 30 seconds to illuminate the way to your vehicle; the UltraOne will also illuminate the interior lights in the same fashion. During this 30 second period of illumination, if the ignition switch is turned "on" the lights will immediately turn off.

If the transmitter is not available or inoperative, the system must be disarmed by use of the Selectable Code Override, which is explained in detail on pages 12-14.

However, if the security system was activated and reset while you are away, the disarm confirmation will be 4 horn chirps, and the lights will flash 4 times before staying on for 30 seconds. The system will have this disarming response until the ignition switch is turned "on". Also, anytime the security system has been activated, upon disarming the LED status light will indicate which of the protected zones caused the activation by flashing a code of numbered flashes between pauses. Again, this indication remains until the ignition switch is turned "on".

The system may be disarmed without the normal confirmation chirps by pressing

and releasing the transmitter's OPTION button twice within 2 seconds.

The Armed System

When the Model One is armed, the LED status light flashes continuously in a slow and steady manner. In this state, any violation of a protected entry or optional sensor will instantly activate, or "trigger" the system. If the system is activated:

- The vehicle's horn or the optional electronic siren will sound. The horn will

repeatedly sound for one second, then pause for one second. Every ten

seconds, the horn will stop sounding completely for 5 seconds; this prevents

the horn from overheating. This audible output will occur for the duration of the

activated cycle.

tones, and every 5 seconds the siren will change the tone to generate more

attention to the vehicle.

- The parking lights will flash on and off repeatedly. The UltraOne will also flash the

interior lights.

- The doors will relock. If opened, relocking will occur when the door is closed. The horn will sound and lights will flash for 60 seconds, unless you disarm the

system with the transmitter by pressing the UNLOCK button. If needed, the valet switch and ignition key may be used to disarm the system (Selectable Code Override; pages 12-14). Please note that while the system is activated, pressing the UNLOCK button will only disarm the system, and not unlock the doors; simply press UNLOCK again to unlock the doors.

If all protected entries are secure at the end of 60 seconds, the system will stop

itself and rearm automatically to detect another entry attempt. If there is a protected entry still open, or a sensor still in a violated state at the end of 60 seconds, the system will reactivate for two more 60 second cycles. If this occurs, the system will still stop itself after a total of 3 minutes and rearm automatically, and ignore the open entry or violated sensor circuit while protecting the other circuits. Should the entry be closed or the sensor return to normal, protection will be reinstated for the affected circuit.

After the security system is activated and it reset itself, the confirmation upon

disarming will no longer be the normal two horn chirps, and the lights flashing twice and staying on for 30 seconds. Instead, the system will have 4 horn chirps and the lights will flash 4 times before staying on for 30 seconds. Anytime the system is activated, the LED Status Light will change to flashing two to five times between pauses, indicating which protected zone activated the system. The LED Status Light will continue flashing this Violation Code until the ignition key is turned “on”.

The Valet Switch - Valet Mode and Override

The valet switch, which is typically contained within the same housing as the LED status light, allows the operator to suspend certain functions of the Executive Model One's normal operations. It is also used in an emergency override disarming of an armed and activated system, should the transmitter be unavailable or inoperative.

These are two separate and distinct operations: the first is Easy ValetTM, whereby a

Easy Valet

is in the disarmed state. Easy ValetTM is unique because other security systems require the ignition switch to be "on" to enter Valet Mode, but with the Executive Model One, the ignition can be either "on" or "off", so the ignition key is not required.

Whenever the security system is disarmed, simply press and hold the valet switch for 1.2 seconds to enter the Valet Mode. The system will confirm it is entered Valet Mode with two horn chirps, two light flashes and the LED status light will illuminate and stay on constantly. The system will remain in Valet Mode if the ignition is turned "on" or "off", or even if the system is disconnected from the vehicle's electrical system. This is useful for servicing the vehicle; unless in a Valet Mode, the security system

will return to its previous state when power and ground are first applied, such as when reconnecting a battery. If the system was disarmed when power is removed, it will activate very briefly, then disarm, when power is restored.

While in the Valet Mode, the remote transmitters can still operate the panic feature, the power door locks, and the trunk release, if so equipped. Valet Mode prevents the system's alarm from being armed; using the transmitter to lock the doors will not arm the system, nor will it engage the starter interrupt. When the transmitter is used to lock and unlock the doors when the system is in Valet Mode, there will be light flash confirmations, but no audible chirps unless the system is programmed to do so. In addition to the constantly illuminated LED status light, the system will chirp the horn twice as a reminder of Valet Mode when the ignition switch is turned off. Additionally, the doors will lock when the ignition is turned "on" and unlock when it is turned "off"', if the system is programmed to do so. To remove the system from the Valet Mode, simply momentarily press the valet switch. The system will instantly revert to the disarmed condition. To confirm that the system has exited the Valet Mode, the LED status light will be extinguished. Remember, Easy ValetTM only operates when the system is disarmed - an armed state requires using the Selectable Code Override.

How to Disarm the System Without Using the Transmitter

Selectable Code Override: In the event the transmitter is lost, damaged, or it

is otherwise inoperable, the valet switch and your ignition key may be used to disarm the system. Selectable Code Override offers a high level of security because, in
