Unauthorized Transmitter Alert: For the next 48 hours after transmitter
programming, every time the vehicle’s ignition is turned “On”, the system will emit
a series of siren chirps, and the LED Status Indicator will show the number of
programmed transmitters for 90 seconds instead of 10 seconds. As the instructions
above shows, programming extra transmitters to any vehicle security system is
easy; the exclusive patented Unauthorized Transmitter Alert feature protects
against someone programming their own transmitter to operate your system.

To program more features, simply repeat Steps 3 and 4. If seven seconds expire
without any programming activity the system will automatically exit Features Programming Mode. Turning on the ignition switch will also exit the system from
Features Programming Mode; in either case the system signals the exit with two
siren bursts.
How to Program Transmitters to the System
Whenever a transmitter, new or existing, is programmed to the system, all existing codes are erased for security. So all of the transmitters which are to operate
the system, which can be up to four, must be programmed at the same time.
Step 1: Turn "On" the vehicle's ignition.
Step 2: Within 10 seconds press the Valet/Override Switch 5 times. The system
responds with 1 siren burst to confirm Transmitter Programming Mode.
Step 3: Within 10 seconds, press either the Trunk button or Button #4 on each
transmitter to be programmed. The response to each is 1 and 1, 1 and 2,
etc., siren burst then chirp(s).
If 17 seconds expire without any programming activity the system will automatically exit Transmitter Programming Mode. Turning off the ignition switch will also
exit the system from Transmitter Programming Mode; in either case the system
signals the exit with 1 long siren chirp.

How to Program Features
Introduction
The 20 programmable features, explained in the previous pages, are very easily
programmed by a procedure using the ignition key, Valet/Override Switch, and
transmitter. To access Features Programming Mode:
Step 1: Turn the vehicle's ignition "On" then "Off".
Step 2: Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition "Off", press the Valet/Override
Switch 5 times. The system will sound a siren burst, then a single chirp
confirming entry to Features Programming Mode.
Step 3: Within 7 seconds of entering Features Programming Mode, press the
Valet/Override Switch the number of times equal to the number of the
feature to be programmed. The system will repeat the feature number
with same number of siren chirps.
Step 4: After the system acknowledges the feature to be programmed, press
either the Transmitter Arm/Lock Button to turn the feature on (the system’s
response will be 1 chirp), or the Disarm/Unlock Button to turn the feature
off (the system’s response will be 2 chirps).

Congratulations on the purchase of your vehicle security system. In learning to
operate your system, please become familiar with these three components:
The Transmitter: Each security system comes with two pre-learned transmitters,
but can learn up to 4 different transmitters. Every transmitter has its own unique,
invisible code, which changes with each use. Thus, your transmitter cannot be
duplicated. The transmitter has four buttons: an “Arm/Lock” button; a “Disarm/
Unlock” button; a “Trunk” button which operates an additional output, and which
also can arm and disarm your system silently; and a “Button #4” which can operate
another additional output, or be configured to operate the Remote Panic feature.
The Valet/Override Switch: This switch can be used to turn “Off” the alarm portion
of the system, including the programmable Automatic Last Door Arming and
Automatic Rearming features, by placing the system into “Valet Mode”. The Valet/
Override Switch can also be used in conjunction with the vehicle’s ignition key to
perform an “Emergency Override” of the system should the transmitter be lost.
Both of these are explained on pages 15-17.
The LED Status Indicator Light: The LED Indicator shows the status of the
system and serves as a visual deterrent to break-ins and theft; see pages 18-19.
