Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this vehicle security system. In learning to
operate your security system, please become familiar with the following three principal
components: the Remote Transmitter, the Red LED Status Light, and the Valet Switch.
The Remote Transmitter: Each security system comes with two pre-learned
transmitters, but can learn up to 4 different transmitters. The transmitter has two buttons:
one large button and a smaller button. This system is pre-programmed, through a built-in
learning routine, to have the transmitter buttons work in the following configuration:
The large button is used to arm, disarm and panic the security system.
The small button pressed for 2 seconds operates the optional trunk release feature.
Pressing the small button twice within two seconds will arm or disarm the system without
the siren chirp confirmation (silent arm/disarm). The small button can be used, in
conjunction with the large button, to operate remote sensor bypass.
Both buttons pressed together can be used to activate the 3rd Channel output or engage
the Anti-Carjacking feature, provided it is programmed to operate.
The Valet Switch: This switch is used to prevent automatic system functions such
as Last Door Arming or Automatic Rearming by placing the system into Valet Mode. The
Valet Switch is also used, with the ignition key, to disarm the security system in the event
the transmitter becomes inoperable, and this switch is also used in the procedure for
programming features and transmitters.

The Red LED Status Light: Informs you of the different conditions the system can
be in and also serves as a visual deterrent to break-ins and theft. Please spend time reviewing
this guide and to become familiar with your vehicle security system.
Transmitter Operations
LED Light- Illuminates when
the Transmitter is operating.
Large Transmitter Button-
Pressing and releasing this
button will arm and disarm
the alarm, which optionally
locks and unlocks the doors.
Pressing and holding this
button for 2 seconds will
"Panic" the alarm- sounding
the siren, flashing the exterior lights.
Both The Large and Small
Transmitter Buttons- Pressing these buttons together for 3 seconds will engage the 3rd
Channel Output or the programmable Anti-Carjacking feature. Please see the sections
describing these features.
Page - 4
Small Transmitter Button-
Pressing this button alone for 2
seconds can be used to remotely
open the trunk. If this button is
pressed twice within 2 seconds
the system will arm or disarm
without the confirmation siren
chirps. If this button is pressed
within 5 seconds after arming
the system, the shock sensor, if
present, will be bypassed.
Arming The Security System
"Arming" your security system, or placing it into a state whereby an intrusion attempt
will activate it, may be done by two methods. First, the transmitter may be used to "actively"
arm the system, provided the ignition switch is "off" and the system is not in Valet Mode.
Second, an automatic method of "passively" arming the security system is Last Door
Arming. This method may be selectively programmed to operate or not operate, and if
utilized, it will operate in conjunction with Active Arming.
Active Arming The Security System Using The Transmitter: The security
system can always be armed with the transmitter if the ignition switch is “off” and the system
is not in the Valet Mode. To arm the system after you exit the vehicle and close all doors,
simply press the large transmitter button once. The parking lights will flash once, the siren
will chirp once, and the LED Status Light will begin flashing, confirming that the system
is arming. Provided the optional doorlock interface was installed, the doors will also lock
upon arming, and the optional starter interrupt relay will prevent any attempt to start the
vehicle. Three seconds after the siren chirp the system becomes fully armed, and will
activate if an intrusion attempt is detected.
Arming Bypass: Upon active arming, if the hood/trunk circuit or shock sensor is in a
violated state, the system will arm with three siren confirmation chirps and three parking
light flashes to alert you. When this occurs, protection for that circuit will be bypassed, but
Page - 5
Status Light will flash slow three seconds later, confirming that the alarm is fully armed. If
a point of entry is reopened before the single chirp and parking flash, the Last Door Arming
will be suspended until the point of entry is reclosed. When the 30 second siren chirp occurs
the alarm will become armed; the doors will lock if the door lock interface is installed and
the "Doors Lock With Last Door Arming and Automatic Rearming" feature is turned on, and
the optional starter disable engages. Three seconds later the LED Status Light will flash
slow, confirming that the alarm is now fully armed. The "Last Door Arming" feature offers
a high level of security, since you do not have to remember to arm the alarm system each
time you exit your vehicle. In addition, Last Door arming may entitle you to an insurance
discount.
Please note the following parameters of the Last Door Arming feature:
- Arming Bypass does not operate with the Last Door Arming feature. This bypass feature
only operates when arming from the transmitter because all protected entries must be
closed for the Last Door Arming countdown to start.
- To prevent the security system from Last Door Arming while vehicle is being refueled or
at other times automatic arming is not desired, you should put the system in Valet Mode
or you may keep your door open. Leaving the ignition switch "on" is not recommended.
- You can still arm the alarm instantly from the transmitter at anytime during the 30 second
Last Door Arming countdown.

protection will be reinstated for the affected circuit if its normal state is restored. For
example, if the trunk is left open, you can still arm the system normally from the transmitter.
The bypassed circuit will automatically be reinstated for protection three seconds after that
circuit becomes operative, i.e., the trunk is closed. When a circuit is in a bypassed state, all
other operating circuits will be protected normally. If desired, the system may be
programmed so that an open door will also produce this three siren chirp and light flash
warning.
Auxiliary Sensor Bypass: When actively arming the security system, the auxiliary
sensor, if present, may be bypassed if desired. After arming the system, within five seconds
of hearing the arming confirmation chirp, press the small transmitter button. You will hear
another siren chirp confirming the security system has armed without the sensor circuit
protecting the vehicle. The next time you arm the security system, the system will reset to
its normal condition, and the sensor will again be part of your protection.
Passively Arming The Security System With The Last Door Arming
Feature: The security system can be programmed to arm itself automatically when the
vehicle's last door is closed. The moment the last door closes the system begins a countdown.
Once the countdown begins the system will give one chirp and the parking lights will flash
once, confirming that all points of entry are closed, and the arming process is in progress.
This period is indicated by a fast-flashing LED Status Light. Thirty seconds after the last
door was closed, the siren will chirp again, the parking lights will flash once, and the LED

Security System Armed And Activated
While the security system is in an armed state, the LED Status Light will be flashing. In
this mode, any entry or optional sensor violation will instantly activate the system. Once
activated, the following actions will occur:
1) The electronic siren will start sounding, and every 5 seconds the siren will change
its sound to generate more attention to the vehicle.
2) The exterior lights will flash during the activation period.
3) If configured, the doors will relock. This feature is so unique to this security system
that it even knows when a door is opened and, if so, the system waits until the door
is closed before relocking them, so that the thief cannot easily regain entry.
The siren and lights will stay active for 60 seconds before automatically resetting, unless
you disarm the system with the transmitter or Valet Switch and ignition key. If all protected
entries are secure at the end of the 60 seconds, the system will stop and rearm automatically
to detect, and respond to, another entry attempt. If there is a protected entry still open, or a
sensor still in a triggered state at the end of 60 seconds, the system will reactivate for two
more 60 second cycles. The system will stop after a total of 3 minutes and rearm
automatically, while ignoring only the open entry or triggered circuit. When the entry is
closed, protection will instantly be reinstated for that circuit.
After the security system is triggered, the disarm confirmation will no longer be 2 chirps,
and the exterior lights staying on for 30 seconds. Instead, the system will respond by
producing 4 siren chirps and flashing the lights 4 times before the lights stay on for 30
Page - 8
seconds. The LED Status Light will change to flashing one to five times between pauses,
which indicates which protected zone triggered the system. The LED Status Light will
continue flashing this violation code until the ignition key is turned “on”, thus clearing the
system's LED Status Light memory circuit. If desired, the system may be programmed for
30 second activation cycles instead of 60 second activated cycles.
Disarming The Security System
While the security system is in the armed condition, pressing the large transmitter button
once will instantly disarm the system and unlock the doors, provided an optional interface
was installed. Disarming is confirmed by the siren chirping twice and the parking lights
turning on for 30 seconds to illuminate the way to your car, except under the following
conditions: first, the parking lights will turn off 10 seconds after a door is opened, and
second, the parking lights turn off instantly when the ignition is turned "on".
However, if the security system was activated and reset while you are away, the disarm
confirmation will change to 4 siren chirps, 4 parking light flashes, and then the parking lights
will stay on for 30 seconds. The alarm will have this response upon every disarming until
the ignition switch is turned "on", which will clear the LED Status Light memory.
Anytime the security system activates, the LED Status Light will indicate which
protected zone caused the activation by flashing one to five times between pauses. This code
will continue to flash, even after disarming, until it is cleared by turning the ignition switch
"on". The system can retain up to five violation codes in its memory.
Page - 9 Page - 10
Safety Disarm/Storm Mode: While the system is activated, i.e. sounding the siren
and flashing the lights, pressing the large transmitter button will disarm the system only.
The system will not chirp twice or illuminate the parking lights, nor unlock the doors
if the system is configured to also operate the door locks. This safety feature ensures that
the vehicle remain secure should the system require disarming due to being activated from
nuisance or malicious sensory inputs. To remotely unlock the doors if the system is
disarmed while activated, repeat the arm/disarm operation by pressing and releasing the
large transmitter button once, then again. If disarmed from a panic mode, the normal disarm
indications are present, including the unlocking of the doors.
Automatic Rearming: On occasion people have accidentally disarmed their security
system by playing with the transmitter or by unknowingly transmitting from a purse or
pocket. To prevent accidental disarming, if the Automatic Rearming Feature is utilized, the
system will automatically rearm itself 90 seconds after disarming, unless the ignition switch
is turned "on". If the "Doors Lock With Automatic Rearming" Programmable Feature is
utilized, the doors will also lock when the system automatically rearms. Automatic
Rearming is indicated by a fast flashing LED Status Light. Once the ignition switch is turned
"on", the system will stay in the disarmed condition until you are ready to arm the system
again from the transmitter or from the Last Door Arming Feature. Opening a door will also
cancel Automatic Rearming, although the countdown will resume when the door is shut if
Last Door Arming is on. In this case, while the door is open, the LED Status Light will be
on steady until the door is shut, upon which time it will resume flashing fast. Regardless
of either condition, if the ignition is turned "on", all automatic arming functions will cease.
Remote Panic
In a threatening situation, the transmitter may be used to fully activate the system,
sounding the siren, flashing the parking lights and relocking the doors (if configured with
a doorlock interface). Even if the ignition is on, Remote Panic can be activated by pressing
and holding the transmitter's large button for two seconds. The system will automatically
reset after 60 seconds, or the transmitter's large button may be pressed and released again
to deactivate the Remote Panic feature.
The Valet Switch And Valet Modes
The Valet Switch may be used to keep the security system from actively or passively
arming during extended stopovers at service stations, for maintenance, valet parking, car
washing, etc., by placing the system into Valet Mode. There are two forms of Valet Mode:
first is Easy ValetTM, whereby a disarmed system may be placed into Valet Mode without
the ignition key, and the second form is Valet Override, which will disarm an armed or
activated system and requires the use of the ignition key.
Easy ValetTM: This unique feature can be activated anytime the alarm is in the
disarmed condition. Easy ValetTM is unique because other security systems require the
ignition switch to be "on", but with this system, the ignition can be either "on" or "off".
Page - 11
Whenever the security system is disarmed, simply depress the Easy ValetTM Switch for
two seconds to achieve the Valet Mode, then release. The system will confirm it is in the
Valet Mode with two siren chirps, and the LED Status Light will become constantly
illuminated. The system will hold memory of the Valet Mode condition while the ignition
is "on" or "off". While in the Valet Mode, the transmitters can still operate the Panic feature,
an optional power doorlock interface, or optional trunk release. Additionally, the doors will
lock when the ignition is turned "on" and unlock when turned "off"', if this programmable
feature is being utilized. Easy ValetTM Mode prevents active (via transmitter) or passive (via
Last Door Arming or Automatic Rearming) arming of the system.
Valet Override - Disarming The Security System Without The Transmitter:
In the event the transmitter is lost, damaged, or its batteries become exhausted, the Easy
ValetTM Switch and your ignition key may be used to disarm the system:
Step 1:With the system in the armed condition, enter via the driver's door (be aware that
the alarm will activate when the door is opened).
Step 2:Using your key, turn "on" the ignition.
Step 3:Within 10 seconds, press and hold the Easy ValetTM Switch and the alarm will disarm
instantly.
The Easy ValetTM Switch is also part of the programming operations for learning new
transmitter codes and changing programmable features.
